Well, it seems that the Gaza aid ships have been stormed. Sadly, lives have been lost. Israel says its soldiers boarded the lead ship in the early hours but were attacked with axes, knives, bars and at least two guns. “Unfortunately this group were dead-set on confrontation,” Israeli government spokesman Mark Regev told the BBC.

Included a lot of new blogs this month, and it looks like there’s a lot more out there. We’ve now got 696 blogs in the list here, with over 876 in the list (i.e. including ones that are now defunct and/or gone since they were added). The “Art” category is in desperate need of splitting, [...]
Found this via an old post on KiwiBlog.
Seems that someone just twigged that Nigel Latta tells parents to lock their children in their rooms for timeout.

Mr Hodgson’s conclusion is that you still have an interest in the shares he refers to in his letter as long as Whitechapel Limited remains the owner.

How can you have someone up for contempt of court, when a newspaper has already published all the relevant details? I don’t see Mike Antunovic chasing the ODT, what gives? I’m unconvinced that this guy should be “named and shamed” (he was after all found not guilty and his son has some severe credibility issues) [...]
I have to say, Key has been a very smooth operator generally. So much so that what’s-his-name has even complemented him recently. But Key seems to have one weakness – managing his own money. There was a story some time ago where Key had failed to put his assets into a blind trust. Now, it [...]
