    Bill Clinton just nailed it for Obama.

  • Discussion: On Copyright,

    did anyone give an explanation for this "natural" aspect that keeps getting referred to?

    Yep.

    But I can't explain it to you because that would be sharing my ideas which, quite frankly, belong to me, so piss off.

    This also explains why I have been unable to use your, seemingly irrefutable arguments, myself.

  • Hard News: Punk'd?,

    Or to put it another way:

    I thought Russell's write up was very fair. However, isn't there a difference between oversight of our politicians' public records and delving into private lives in a most tawdry and despicable manner?

    That's where Wishart goes well off the plot and where these sort queries about Key or, indeed, David Parker's business dealings were reasonable. The fact that Parker or Key was are able to demonstrate a reasonable defence does not make the original queries invalid.

  • Hard News: Mood and meaning in a time of…,

    This is very scary.

    It was the Feds (along with the Japanese central bank) that created the whole free money property/share boom in the first place.

    Don't they have anything else up their sleeves than printing *more* free money?

  • Field Theory: Glad I missed that one,

    Really? Cos all I've heard is what a big cheater he is

    He is quick, strong, intelligent and reads the ref to an extent that seems like cheating if, like me, you are supporting the wrong team :-)

    But really, all credit to the guy. I am just glad he is an All Black and not playing for the Aussies.

  • Cracker: All In,

    Craig

    I'm wondering if this is going to backlash on Labour and any media outlet that touches it.

    Why? Honestly, I am curious as to why should media outlets not touch this story?

    As such I missed Wellington lose the game that, really, deep down, they knew they were going to lose. Feel free to bitch about the game in the comments.

    No bitching. It was a good game to attend. Nerve wrecking finals rugby, probably boring to watch on TV.

    Richie McCaw made the difference between Wellington drubbing the Cantabs and the actual result. He was awesome.

  • Up Front: The Classics Are Rubbish Too,

    the example was the endless minutiae on whaling in Moby Dick.

    Someone needed to tell Ishmael that whale really is not a fish. If that had happened round about page 2 then the book might be a whole lot more readable.

    Jude the Obscure - now that really takes grinding depression to previously unexplored lengths and depths.
