On the other hand I have made my panforte, which obviously must be easy if I can manage it and goes down a treat
Two different types this year as well -
One of the ways I deal with christmas is to talk endlessly about how the christians stole it from us (pagans that is) and we are now in the process of taking it back
This in answer to the inevitable letter to the paper whinning about the christ being taken out of Christmas
My wife and sons just endure this but one day I promise I will write a letter to the paperbefore the above letter is published

"Well, nothing much has really changed, has it."
And that of course is why we really have the so called "honeymoon "
Either nothing much happens or so much happens that the media spend all their time saying "geez look at all this change"
Sorry folks, but that how we run things here
Of course it helps that by the time past Governments have got organised it was that really silly season, post christmas news drought -
On the other hand when you are going for market penitration surely more money is to be made by encouraging people to watch your product

A question for our Host
Why are the programes for the freeview such a secret

Very little popular support at all
Think 12 years of your less than favourite party -
Who would you prefer David
A man capapable of admitting mistakes and being prepared to pick the good parts from his opposite numbers policiesOr Ms Clark's " I have no regrets" and ramming fairl major consitutioal changes through parliment using urgency

Well the good news is that we has a result on the night
I do hope that National reaches some sort of agreement with the Maori Party, even if it is only to draw Act's teeth
Hopefully Maori will see that alone as a win for them, there is of course quite some down side to them going with National -
Well it has been reported to me (and we see the numbers tomorrow) that at my voting place some voters voted for the national candidate (she was the one that got sucked into banning water) and then gave their party vote to the Greens..go figure that!

Meanwhile on some other world we have these ravings
" It was these: the men who just couldn't cope with the idea of being led by an intelligent, idealistic, free-spirited woman; the gutless, witless, passionless creatures of the barbecue-pit and the sports bar (and the feckless females who put up with them); who voted Helen Clark out of office."
Took those poor creatures a long time to act Chris
