Bullshit, Don

Unauthorised it wasn't.

So, Kyle, do you think Ruth Key has some dark secret buried back in Austria, his half-brothers know and loathe their little bro', he secretly beats his children and abuses his wife, and there was a long line of school mates and former co-workers he terrorised whose interviews mysteriously got lost?
Oh I doubt that Key has any deep dark secrets, he doesn't strike me as that interesting at all.
Just saying, the Herald's in depth, extensive biography of John Key reaching the same level of dullness as Brian Edwards biography of Helen Clark, doesn't say much for it. Either there's nothing interesting about the man at all, or they did a pretty bad job of making the article interesting, both of which are disappointing.

Kyle is an Anaheim supporter, I'm sure he'd have more than a little to say in defence of the institution of the hockey fight. That doesn't make the quote he gave us any less scary.
Actually the encouragement of fighting in ice hockey is one of the things I dislike the most about the sport. And Anaheim are fools in this regard, their fighter is slow and can't fight, which makes paying him hundreds of thousand of dollars a year even more silly.

Um, yes. I don't know what you really were after, but I found Brian Edwards' biography of Helen Clark equally... well, dull.
But there's a bit of a difference between the sympathetic biography book that every political leader seems to put out at a strategic moment these days, and an in depth biography by an independent newspaper.
We know that Brian Edward's book is going to be sympathetic, and probably achieving some goals for Helen Clark and her political career.
You'd have to hope that the Herald would aim slightly higher, independent media, inform the public, get the inside scoop, cut through the spin, etc etc etc.

It's a nationwide conspiracy. Quick, someone tell WhaleOil.

I feel the need to post in a relatively sane place.
An acquaintance just posted the following in an ice hockey forum after I made a comment about two high school teams that had an all-in fight a few weeks ago. His post:
We need to stop being wusses and embrace the fact that everyone has a beast inside them and hockey is a good safe environment in which to let it out in! If a parent doesn't want their child playing ice hockey because of a fight between to school teams at a low skill level then she can leave her kid in sunday school getting gayer day by day and eventually one of "those catholic ministers".
The poster is not only a player, but a referee.
Sports and the culture of violence within it is truly a different world. I do despair :(

Finally, I was waiting all thread for someone to ask, Deborah – and Rob is in this instance correct that I’m not eligible for your team. Strong off-field supporter, is all.
Dammit. Now I feel the need to go re-read some of your posts and see if they come out in a different light.

supermarkets in the wee sma' hoors- there's a goodie 24hr Countdown in Dunedin, just a block or so from the Leviathan Hotel
Not any more. Closes at midnight as of a month or two ago.

Thanks, Julie. I like the way your commenter Anna McM put it
Wellington owes Dunedin for us letting her go up there. There were plots to prevent y'know.

I'm a blogger and I happen to be good at it
How does someone type that with a straight face?
Translation: I'm a dick, and proud of it.
