    Oh good. Nothing from Emma tho?

    Hey Jackie, I suspect if everyone got through the 7 on Saturday, they will be good through the 5 (talking 4 times less remember) albeit a little shaken (doh! obviously). I would also imagine that updates from the PAS crowd could be erratic. Y'know, priorities an' al' ;).
    David's "Southerley" will be a humdinger, it'll be nice to hear his take.

    I found this from Dunne rather rich after reading this about politicians.

    Oh, it happened! A press release from people who really should be allowed to just keep on talking.

    What, right through their arse? In Parliament today there was definitely a push from Labour to help everyone, with mention from Goff that if the people of SCF could be bailed, then everyone in CHCH could be assisted with lost wages and support for their damaged homes.Good on Labour.

    Mike McRoberts' calmer tone suited me better at 6pm than the more urgent One News presenters'.

    Possibly because you had been listening/watching all day? I'd go as far to suggest that, amongst all the coverage over the first day, NZ pulled off a relatively balanced view with TVNZ been on all day and stressed and 3 taking the best they could with their studio being down. Generally it would seem that everyone who could, did tune in and receive information regards the area. Presenters caught off guard a bit, may well have been a bit shocked also, especially because of the aftershocks and them being expected to put themselves and others in harms way. So reports being uncertain could of well been because everything was uncertain. To be soo slick could have also backfired.I mean, who needs people all over you for an interview,to expose you and and your life strewn all over the box, when really a cup of tea may have been better whilst you take it all in.The radio though should have been all about survival to the residents.I didn't tune in so am not suggesting it didn't as many have said it was great and i'm glad for the residents about that. Jus' sayin' i'll go away now...:)

    while giving good information about what was going on, and what to do. TV3 led its news updates with reports of looting.

    It seems you are not alone.

    Wait, I've heard that name somewhere before haven't I? Hmm...

    Well, we know they (Bob 'this is not my life' and John) are mates. Last seen down Queenstown way together.

    I just hope that those in charge of the cleanup are getting some seriously professional advice on how best to deal with this.

    I shudder to think just when the last of a hundred thousand damaged buildings will be repaired.

    Big guns

    Bob 'This is not my life' Parker is a friend of 'I know John Key, vote for me'. How long before they "have a dream" and copy the Auckland supercity model to rebuild the infrastructure?

    Leighton Smith this morning compared Mayor Bob to Churchill and JFK. I shit you not.

    Now I need a bucket. Next we'll be seeing Roodney in to advise.

    Known in National Party 'circles' as "the octopus", on account of his poisonous blue ring.

    See, now that's bringing the poor innocent mollusc into disrepute. Does he have no shame?
