It is probably just as well that the Idiot at No Right Turn does not allow comments on his blog, because the drivel that he writes would attract the very worst of trolls. And terse comments from the MacDoctor. Take one of today’s offerings: John Key’s response to introducing charter schools despite never having campaigned [...]

(apologies to Country Joe and the Fish) John Key says that the election provides National with a mandate for asset sales. He is right. Many people from both the left and the right are complaining that the “majority” of the country (i.e of a few polls) do not want asset sales and that Key should [...]

Once again the Herald shows us the ignorant nature of it’s headline makers: Key: We can’t help your price pain That is NOT what Key said at all. What he said was: “Like everyone else, we’re frustrated by higher petrol prices,” Mr Key said. “It’s just a fact we have to live with at the [...]

The MacDoctor has noted that Cactus Kate is somewhat irritated by the people at the Standard, notably one Marty G. She writes: “I’m really pissed off that politics has come into the Christchurch earthquake so quickly”. (Quote from Marty G) Really? You are having a laff? The whole post titled “The Shock Doctrine” was political [...]

I see there is much left-wing hoo-ha around John Key’s remarks to the effect that most people seem to manage on the dole and that some of those who need supplementary food parcels from people like the Salvation Army are simply poor budgeters. So far he has been called “heartless”, “out of touch” and “mean”. [...]

The practice I work at is responsible for the health of the kids who go through the “Fresh Start” camps – John Key’s boot camps for young offenders. I say this at the beginning of this post as a declaration that I have a small financial interest in these camps. Don’t let that fool you [...]

For a group of people who are supposed to like groups of people, socialist really don’t seem to get folks at all. Take the hoo-ha over John Key’s remarks about Liz Hurley’s “hotness”. Sure, the remarks were a bit gauche, even prattish, but they perfectly capture the average New Zealand bloke who is, indeed, somewhat [...]

Bernard Hickey lays into National‘s plan for a partial sale of some power generation SOEs and Air New Zealand. Actually, he lays into John Key – which makes me wonder if he hasn’t been hanging around too many lefties and contracted Key Derangement Syndrome. He says: In total, the four SOEs potentially up for sale [...]

John Key: We will spend less of your money and pay off debt with asset sales… Phil Goff: We will spend more of your money – even if you don’t have it – and increase debt due to clueless accounting… Phil Goff: Still Digging After All These Years Keep on digging, Phil… Add a Comment

I see Key Derangement Syndrome is ravaging the minds of left-wing bloggers. Both Red Alert and Tumeke’s resident troll, Bomber Bradbury, have taken offense at John Key’s observation that he is not likely to continue as an MP if he loses the election. Apparently this is “spitting the dummy” or merely using the Prime Ministership [...]
