Sometimes I wonder if we are all missing Helen Clark. Rodney Hide has now joined the legions of people who seem to think that John Key is doing nothing. This list seems to include everyone from the left and the right, except for the right-wing centrists. Which should tell us something – namely that, whatever [...]
Presumably, journalists are starting to run out of new angles on the Tsunami story. Today in the Dom Post there is a breathless story about how John Key’s Motorcade sped past unprotected children playing by the roadside at 3 times the speed limit in Samoa apparently because John Key needed a shower before his flight. [...]
I know Granny Herald is getting old, but I had no idea she was completely senile.
Key butters up Clark with Vogel’s at NY meeting
NEW YORK – The relationship between Prime Minister Helen Clark and her National Party replacement John Key was anything but stale when the pair met for talks in New York today [emphasis [...]
So now it is official. John Key has said that National will not support John Boscawen’s bill, not even to select committee. He has even said that he will not allow it to be a conscience vote, so he is taking no chances. That is, effectively, that. Parents who smack will remain criminals and will [...]
Nats acted with sheer vindictiveness – Clark
Well, she should know, shouldn’t she?
Called Don Brash “Cancerous and Corrosive“
Denigrated the Exclusive Brethren because a small group of them exercised their right to be involved in political activity
Produced the EFA as pay-back for the Exclusive Brethren affair
Purchased Kiwirail a few months before an election she and Cullen were [...]
A fascinating insight into the mind of an unredeemed marxist can be found in John Minto’s blog today:
The greatest tragedy of Taito Phillip Field is not his being the first MP in New Zealand history to be convicted of bribery, corruption and obstruction of justice. Neither is it that his career as the first Pacific [...]
The Standard is getting all excited about Helen Clark being voted “the Greatest Living New Zealander” in a recent Herald Poll. I feel a little mean trampling on this small crumb that they take away from Labour’s defeat in November, but I feel I should point out that this was a media-driven poll. It does [...]
And the Wowser of the Week award goes to the writer of this article on the government taking four weeks holiday in the middle of their “100 days of action”. The fact that governments (including the last one) have always done this has apparently escaped the writer. Wowser highlights are:
Despite the global economic crisis, Prime [...]
This is the question asked of Helen Clark by a ten-year-old called Nami, today.
Good question, Nami.
Possibly the most penetrating question asked of Helen Clark this whole campaign. She chose to talk about broadband. It was perfectly possible that she could have talked about our world leading status in social policies, climate change and single-parent families, [...]
Wonderfully weird article today on plastic surgeons moving fat to the face to make people look younger. Apparently a surgeon has invented a way of keeping more of the fat alive in the transfer. And I thought we were all trying to kill the little buggers, not keep them alive! Also today there’s one on [...]
