Thanks, Sacha. Fuck off...
Craig, I realise you said you were being unfair in your subsequent post, but for the umpteenth time, "play the ball, not the person".

David, did you apply eye shadow when you wrote this, just to make sure you really got into character ?

Oops, I mean Herald ''s

So, how are DPF, C.Slater, etc spinning this ? Are they wetting their pants with excitement ?
I had a look at the Herald's "Your Views" response to the fudge-it and it was a mixture of "what a meanie" and "a strong response to years of wasteful spending by Labour", etc.

Simon Sweetman is an embarrassment to proper reviewers.
That has tended to be my view.
He is mediocre critic and reviewer. Remember, this is a man who once described Tears For Fears as "one of the best bands of the '80s" in one of his North & South columns.
He also endorses shite like Dire Straits, the Eagles and their ilk.
He also has a far too common tendency, when reviewing an album, to lazily say "it sounds like band X crossed with band Y", which tells me nothing about the actual quality of an album.
I realise I'm shooting fish in a barrel here, but anyway...

Speaking of ignorance, Ian Wishart's new book Air Con: The Seriously Inconvenient Truth About Global Warming gets disembowelled by Gareth Renowden on Hot Topic.
I see Gareth Morgan puts forward his views on global warning in the latest Listener. God, I am tired of seeing his articles there; he's as over-exposed there as Ralston is on Campbell Live.

In breaking news, V. has been rescued again.
I can't help but be cynical and say that given the depths Team Veitch has sunk to, that this may well be a fabricated story designed to elicit sympathy for him.

Regarding Bolger, his chairmanship of Kiwibank expires in October next year, so obviously Cullen is doing his apprenticeship before taking over, presumably.

You think Richard Worth will be promoted to cabinet?
Doh! My bad. Sorry.

Re: Richard Worth - my money was always on either Paula Bennett or Anne Tolley to be the first cabinet minister to cover themselves in mud. But a dark horse has entered the race and appears to be galloping into the lead.
