Israel stops shipment

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. [...]

May Halfdone NZ Blog Stats

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, [...]

How the US armed Saddam Hussein

Found this via an old post on KiwiBlog.

Sue Bradford claims knowledge that doesn’t exist, Barnardos has “resources”!

Seems that someone just twigged that Nigel Latta tells parents to lock their children in their rooms for timeout. Which is funny, because it strongly suggests that certain “child advocates” weren’t watching when those comments were broadcast to the nation. But former Green MP Bradford, whose anti-smacking bill afforded children the same legal protection from [...]

Complete the sentence…

From an old DPF post. I know the National Front is basically made up of morons, but their stupidity dropped to unimagined depths this week when their leader, Kyle Chapman, claimed… Link here.

Bill Stickers is innocent

Key in the clear?

DPF points to the legal advice from Key’s lawyers here. The key paragraph appears to be no. 9. 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. However, the fact that a Companies’ Office search shows that [...]

Accusing MPs of self-interest over tax a little bit silly sometimes

Thought this old post from Kiwiblog spoke to some recent events. One of the frustrating things about trying to have a sensible debate about the correct level of taxation in this country, is that whenever an MP talks about reducing the tax burden, left wing MPs allege their only motivation is self interest and play [...]

So what’s their case?

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) [...]

Has Key been caught or not?

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 [...]
