  • Island Life: A week in the life of that…,

    So let us celebrate our PM being down with the kids and helping us punch above our weight on the global making up usages around technology stage, rather than getting too snooty about that one.

    Nah, I'm going to be a grammar snob and expect our Prime Minister to have a basic command of the English language. :-)

    I must find out where they are going

    By sending them some textses ?

    I just hope that Mr Slater doesn't become one of TVNZ's new "go to" people on politics.

  • Island Life: The resignation of Captain Worth,

    Slater was captioned as "right wing blogger" and alternated between relaying what the Nats were saying and owning up to knowing nothing despite Sainsbury's best efforts to make like Whaleboy is plugged into the pulse of guvmint.

    What really pisses me off about having that slanderous and libelous man on television is that he automatically gains some legitimacy in the eyes of a large proportion of Close Up's viewers. I must admit that I turned over to TV3. Did Sainsbury happen to mention that this same blogger, not 9 months ago, was claiming he had incontrovertible evidence that a previous Government Minister raped a woman and covered it up?

    Well it's unarguably demonstrable that they are a source of terrorists.

    On what evidence?

    A simple web search will present you with plenty of avenues through which to educate yourself. Terrorism is not just the domain of the A-rabs and the left wing revolutionaries.

  • Hard News: Swine flu, terror and Susan Boyle,

    Do you think right wing or pro life groups should be regarded as the source of terrorists?

    Well it's unarguably demonstrable that they are a source of terrorists.

    And because I can't really be bothered engaging you in the theological debate your trying to pick, I'll point you in the way of the enlightened Marcus Brigstocke. He says everything I'd like to, just in a more comedic fashion. I implore you to pay particular attention around the 6 minute mark:

    They didn't have any footage of the shooting. If they had, it would have led. It's all about the pictures.

    I'd certainly hope so. But I still struggle to see the newsworthiness of reality TV. If they had to report it, couldn't it be the "human interest" story after the weather?

    Instead they will be beating up talent show contenders.

    On the first segment of the 6pm news bulletin. Two nights in a row.

    Seriously, if I wanted to find out about Susan Boyle I'd watch E or buy some trashy magazine. But according to TV3 last night, Susan Boyle's loss in a reality TV show is worthy of greater prominence than an act of domestic terrorism in the US. WTF?

    Meanwhile, back at the ranch Melissa Lee may be discovering that the quickest way out of parliament is the slightest whiff of the misuse of public funds...

    You beat me to it.. :)
