  • Hard News: The March for Democracy,

    I've just had a look on the Greens site to confirm my impression and it looks like in the last 3 weeks they put out 3 release about the ETS. I'm told some of the speeches were quite good, but in the circumstances I would call that not many press releases.

  • Hard News: Party Time, Excellent,

    Nat Torkington's very popular Ignite series of lightning presentations

    If that's not their official name it totally should be.

  • Hard News: A bigger breach?,

    I'm remind of a story from the UK where it looked like somebody had put malicious hardware into the card readers at the factory.

  • Hard News: Please, be our guests,

    Given wine bottles these days it would be fairer to say that they're screwing you.

  • Hard News: Truth to Power, etc,

    I thought all the left were for freedom of speech and defended a fearless fourth estate

    I increasingly get the idea this document is a sensible, normal and not-overboard response to the possibility of having your ass sued. Talk to me about what's wrong with defamation law, though...

  • Hard News: Truth to Power, etc,

    Editorial could take a more conservative approach to the subject matter and content of the risky or contentious articles.

    I'm guessing the 'more' in 'more conservative' here refers to 'for risky and contentious articles' rather than 'compared to what we have done before'.

    Which does complete the list of completely normal things to think about regarding defamation.

    Drat. I was kind of excited when I skimmed it.

  • Hard News: Deprived of speech, he sang…,

    Not sung lightly - I can recall him on the Otago Uni lawn singing something like

    this is a fuckup
    an aberration
    if this is a love song
    then all love's masturbation

    This was at the end of a gig during which he put a girl's foot in his mouth. He made some remark about how that may not have been good for his mouth. So a wag replies: "What about her foot?"

  • Southerly: A World First of the Second Kind,

    I certainly agree that it's easy to overuse this font -- if that's what your comment is suggesting -- but there are times when it sends just the right message.

    So the cover is stain-proof because it comes pre-defaced?
