My 2 cents: I think Winston plays a valuable role in parliament. He's the voice of the angry, the unsettled, the paranoid and the distrusting. That's a big chunk of the electorate, folks, (including pretty much anyone over 60 and also me quite often). These people deserve a champion. Seeing the end of him would be like losing Mr Ranapia, satisfying in the short term but disenfranchising the legitimate concerns of many Kiwis.
Also, although I never came close to any Universities during my formative years, (and so find it difficult to unner-stand the comments on publicaddress somer-times), I do know how to kill, gut and quarter any beast between a rabbit and a bullock. Checked out the meat section in your local supermarket lately? Where's your law and history degrees now, eh? Haah ha ha!

Excuse the rude interruption, but just for reasons of accuracy is it Whimps or Wimps? I need to know.
(Also, Dr. Horrible rulz. Seriously. Google it. Tell your friends. He's better than blueberry muesli. That's right).

Happy Birthday, sir.
I'm sure I'm not alone in looking forward to another year of insightful and searing posts about a bunch of interesting stuff, so let me just take this moment to say...thank you.

A five-hundred page policy paper isn't arse-wipe if it gives voters an insight into where a particular party will be starting post-election negotiations with potential coalition partners, and it isn't arse-wipe if it gives the voters a concrete perception of a party's ideology.

Yeah, but seriously though, Craig....the Herald is biased.

Craig....I think you can serve up a portion of the blame for the EFA backlash on the Herald's plate, thank you very much.

Well, I saw the Unauthorised History of NewZild last night and it was actually pretty brilliant. Definitely a recommended download from me. But 10.30 Sunday night? WTF? Are TVNZ programmers in league with Satan or what?
How can that programme not get better ratings than, oh, I dunno, pretty much any of the shite they put on at prime time.
(Yours in despairing...)

But there's no denying that APN's owners and senior editorial staff all desperately want National to win the election....
'Unauthorised'. That just cracks me up.

Really, Russell, you've brought it on yourself. This guy's a dick, nothing more and nothing less, so who cares what he posts on his blog? Just as long as it doesn't seep onto publicaddress. Please, don't contaminate yourself.

Since no-one in their right mind, (I know, an increasingly shrinking proportion of the population), would even bother to read Whaleoil's blog, let alone comment on it, I wonder if you've considered the legitimacy you're conferring on his ravings by dedicating an entire post to them?
As much as I admire a freak show, surely a guy like that should best be ignored until he goes away.
