    Holmes on something more intimate in the interview line

    Oh well... I suppose one and a half out of three 'aint as bad as it could have been. Does "something more intimate" include his delicate rimming of Tony Vetch, and proffering spectacularly impertinent parenting advice to Paula Bennett?

    That would explain why Holmes' garden is all over One News at the moment.

  • Julie Fairey,

    Does Holmes' return means he has to give all those retirement parties back?

    And anyone looking for to put a bit of faxy faxy action in their Friday may wish to join the Pay Equity Faxathon heading Tony Ryall's way today.

    Yup, spam his office fax machine -- because anyone who own a small business will confirm how terribly endearing that is.

    A guy in my neighbourhood has a dog named Brian. I'm told that's not so original.

  • James Liddell,

    the excellent Therese Arseneau running a discussion panel.

    Did anyone else think that her televised "analysis" in the lead up to the election consisted of painstakingly obvious observations and little actual, well, analysis? Or was it just me?

  • Graeme Edgeler,

    The Friday Media Bag gives me an excellent opportunity to re-promote this piece from David Simon I added to monitor.

    It is one of the best pieces of journalism I can remember reading, and turns into great polemic on the state of both mainstream and new media.

    Giovanni thinks it's good :-)

  • Tim Michie,

    What I noticed was editorialising following self-selecting text polls things the presenter classed as analysis. I put it more down to the coverage format - trying to fit each feature money had been spent on, ring all the bells; blow all the whistles - but was wary of Ms Arseneau's analysis post-election. If she's running a panel it sounds more suited to the previous punditry.

    On more handsome matters, might Colin's YouTube star status have swung the vote? Would you be happier with Cyclon amongst you? How did your toaster chck out..?

  • Tim Michie,

    Fruedian typo... clones of cyclons... obviously.

    Therese Arseneau's flagged for the next Drinking Liberally over on Emma's 'Missionary Position' thread.

    It's probably complete shit, but it is free …

    You've missed your true calling in sales.

    Does he have a penchant for Martinis and cocaine?

    It's Santa Cthulhu, you vile blasphemer. Now, sprinkle some cinnamon on your soul and prepare to have it eaten. :)
