Somewhat of a side track: can one still purchase Space Man candy sticks? You know, the ones which look somewhat like a rocket, but a lot more like a cigarette, but of course they were never intentionally sold as cigarette lookalikes,were they?

Oh, speaking of New Zealand's anxieties, wtf Emmerson?
Oh, indeed, Jake. Almost matched by today's effort.

With regards to the Sensible Sentencing Trust release: I was pleasantly surprised, but to pinch an adage that Craig's often offered up in similar circumstances, even a broken clock tells the right time twice a day...

Oh, one more post lest I start to look obsessed with all this - Kerre Woodham's magnificently irony-free take on the affair. Or perhaps it was just written before time?
Some media organisations must be wondering what on earth they'll do to fill their pages and their airtime now that Tony Veitch has pleaded guilty to kicking his ex-girlfriend.
Editors around the country would have been rubbing their hands in gleeful anticipation at the prospect of juicy details of Tony and Kristin's tumultuous relationship being exposed in court as the prosecution and defence fought for months for the favours of the jury.
And now all that's been denied with both the prosecution and defence agreeing to drop six charges of assault and Veitch pleading guilty to injuring his girlfriend with careless disregard for her safety.

Sometimes, adolescence isn't that wonderful and hell is oneself and other people no matter where you are.
This is the thing, really - I've hardly met anyone who didn't have some kind of beef with the way that school played out for them. Personally, only after I'd been out of school for some time did I realise that others really did have it worse than I did, and shook off the narcissistic need to paint my school experience as uniquely designed to torture precious little me.
If only I'd realised that whilst I was actually there, I might have been less horrible to others on several occasions. Oh look, a chance to link this again.

^Veitch thread is elsewhere... ;)

Surely he's pretty radioactive right now.
I'll wait until Sunday to get more of an idea of the man's half-life - but yeah, what Michael said.
