Not quite true Russell - it's just conspicuously different in length and tone to anything on Peters:

And when you're 10, that's all you need, really.
10? Hell, that's all I need at 30 :>

IrishBill at The Standard muses on the reference to ACT in the Dunne story. The way it's written, it seems the Velas thought they had special friends there too
To be fair, it could just mean that ACT's policy views were the only ones closely aligned with the Vela's interests - and without that they needed to "more actively engage" the finance select committee... Dodgy either way for the Vela's, not necessarily for ACT

Well, for that to kick in we'd need... strategic memory lapses (and conveniently discovered documents) and a couple of rounds of accusing Audrey Young of being a forger.
Mr Dunne said yesterday he could not recall putting out a press release calling for a change to the UN fish stocks legislation,
neither could he recall ever speaking to Mr Meurant about fishing legislation.
He accused the newspaper of beating up the story.
=P
The timing and content of these document leaks is really interesting - lead in with Winston, get the hacks frothing at the awful indignity of it all and then pop in with "oh yeah, Dracula was in the thick of it too". Maybe there was dodge going on (frankly I wouldn't outright believe it off the back of that story) but the game behind all this is even more interesting... -
Then there is the endorsement no-one wants
Obama: I'd like to congratulate Senator McCain on this endorsement because he really earned it. That endorsement didn't come easy. Senator McCain had to vote 90 percent of the time with George Bush and Dick Cheney to get it. He served as Washington's biggest cheerleader for going to war in Iraq, and supports economic policies that are no different from the last eight years. So Senator McCain worked hard to get Dick Cheney's support.

Asterix and Obelisk is superb. Nice work...
For an 11 year old, this kid has a sound grasp of the issues.
I misread his no-spaces monkeysortycoons as monkey-sorty-coons which had me concerned for a second or two... Worked out the better placing of those spaces now though!

He's Schrodinger's Candidate: in a state of simultaneously holding every possible policy position - right up until we open the box.
That's... beautiful!

Sorry can't help with the noise (or invite you over for a game)
Damn it (was angling for the second) =>

It was pretty amazing to see Stevie Wonder have a 40,000 strong NZ crowd loudly roaring the name of a US presidential candidate last night, not to mention the fact that he completely reworded the lyrics to... some song, was it Higher Ground??... to talk about it.

We only stopped because it was getting late and we didn't want to annoy the neighbours.
This might be a rather odd question, but you don't live in the top northwest corner apartment in a certain warehouse-conversion in Grey Lynn do you? Based on those photos you could be, and based on the noises of Sunday night I could be your neighbour...
