    Superpowers - I've been trying to get the power of Levitation for years.
    Normally when I can't get off the couch I blame my failure on this Superpower.

  • Hard News: This whole, glorious trainwreck,

    I thought that report about gender was really not required. But they're not people worthy of considerartion, they Iraqi.

    Hilary Barry jumping up for the Sencible Sentencing Trust on TV3s recent self promoting ads is a little scary .

  • Hard News: Radio Times,

    Loved Kathryn Ryans interview yesterday.

    The Prez is opening the door to having the National Reserve to print money to get out of the looming depression.

    I don't know much about economics but I know this is not a solution and what happened in Germany post leading to wheelbarrows replacing wallets when going shopping.

  • Hard News: Paris S’Enflamme, tout la nuit,

    I find lesbians mostly invisable, except for my cousin and then she's not a lesbian, she's my cousin.

    She's the one who has experienced the most domestic violence from her various partners than anyone else I know.

    The TVNZ Charter seems to have 'forgotten' their obligation to this community. What was that rediculous puppet show on TV about? I might have missed a queer in joke but I think I wouldn't be alone on that.

  • Hard News: So far from trivial,

    The eternal external enermy is just a rewrite of Machiavellis The Prince.

    The voting issue & Mil service may be a resentment towards Orthodox Jews not serving in the military.

    I think you're right about Platoon.

    I've got a cartoon somewhere that goes to say the training was good and all, but it has ruined war movies for them forever.

  • Hard News: A Taxonomy of Poo,

    Helengrad is really DFP et al admition of defeat.

    Their war goes on but they have not hope of success, it is an ideological battle as Stalingrad was.

    Just who is their Hitler if Helen is Stalin?

    Kyle - thanks for the PYM thing.
    I'm sure that quote of Shadbolt was aimed to piss a few hippies off.

    "Does rather beg the question though - with all his dosh why doesn't Key already have a private jet? Lack of ambition?"

    Key might be rich but this is burn your money rich.

    "Starship Troopers, I'm looking at you......"

    Starship Troopers was an American ideal of Israel.
    Holocaust (Shoah)/Argentina=Auschwitz
    Constant attack/outnumbered
    Dehumanised enermy
    Own Superiority (Doogy Howser)
    Mil. Structure - Army meritocracy (Israel you only become an officer after the rank of Sgt).
    Shower scene = gender equality

    We put it forward as a leadership video in the Army (they didn't take it up).
    'Glory' is the offical Leadership video.(Refusal to take higher pay than his men & getting his men shoes)
    'Saving Pte. Ryan' is the movie for rules of engagement (don't shoot the guy burning to death = euthenasia - fog of war = trench shooting & the 1st two surrender but are shot - Murder observed but not addressed immediately.)

  • Hard News: A Taxonomy of Poo,

    Thatcher actually 'Butched up' for the job as PM. Her voice was deepened from her more femine tones as an MP to the deeper tones as PM.

    And really didn't her hubby get the worse of any sexism?
