Poneke has given up blogging. Pity - he was a good writer.
But NRT’s comments on it are rather amusing, considering the source.
And so the sewer (who had been turning up recently and leaving their usual turds around, and reacted particularly nastily to Poneke’s recent pieces criticising them) bullies another intelligent, articulate voice into silence. It’s [...]

Robert Spencer, well known critic of Islam now has a petition against him.
He doesn’t seem very threatened. Funny that.

The PM says…
Helen Clark says tax cuts will help alleviate money issues for families
Prime Minister Helen Clark says tax cuts to be announced in next month’s budget will deliver timely relief for families, and she doesn’t think GST will be removed on food.
(I expect that’s the last time that photographer will be allowed near the [...]

Ok, so it seems I’ve fixed my issues.
However, due to having downloaded XP patches several times over I’ve blown my data cap.
Seems like a good time to take a break. Back in one week… give or take.

Ok, after hours of working through the various problems I’ve been getting, I think I have gotten to the bottom of most of them (and discovered a few more ).
At least Firefox appears to be now working when I start it, and I have figured out how to get into my blog without getting [...]

The Hive, which is rapidly becoming my favorite read, has a rather cheekily labelled post today.
Why Can’t The Left Cope With Rational Debate?
There is a rather interesting post on a blog called kiwiblogblog which seems to be dedicated to saying nasty things about David Farrar. They seek to dismiss this blog in terms of size [...]

Blogging is broken - I can’t insert links.
This is opposed to Monday, when my head felt like it was in a vice.
Talk amongst yourselves.
Update: Ok, whatever I did before must have fixed it.

On the Castro post.
So much hatred can’t be good for your souls. Normally I wouldn’t care, but your complete lack of understanding of the world as one group of human beings is what keeps the entire planet in a state of aggression. Then again, I doubt any of you have had a ####[icecream] in years, [...]

Lindsay Mitchell has a post showing this painting of Rodney Hyde. In a world full of art that’s at best average and at worst showing the skill level of a 5 year old, it’s great to see some true skill in an artist. Amazing.
If I were a bigger fan of Rodney’s I’d ask for a [...]

Oh this is great.
It seems that CAIR sent out a press release bashing LGF, labeling them a “hate site”. Charles Johnson is no fool, and he had a great comeback.
To see how closely they’re watching, I put in some code to redirect any links from CAIR’s press releases to go to this page instead, exposing [...]

Well, our ranking as a blog may have slipped to 30, but there’s another National party blog we beat - John Key.
Mind you, it looks like it only has one post - a video that starts even though I don’t want it to!

If you haven’t already read it on Kiwiblog, David has visited the Taj Mahal in India, and his post is well worth reading.
Sounds fantastic, wish I could afford one for the wife…

Looks like our blog has dropped in the rankings - down to 30 for Jan (we were 20).
Looking at the list, I can’t say I disagree. 20 always seemed to good to be true.
Good news is that James Sleep’s blog is gone. Maybe his parents found out what he was doing - the ’sphere is [...]

Lets work our way back through this one.
DPF accuses me of misrepresenting him in my latest post on the BRT’s strapped chicken. And looking at it again, he’s right. DPF did not explicitly say that he regarded the BRT’s bogus study as proof positive that we should do nothing about climate change; instead, he simply [...]

People may notice that the blog tag cloud looks different - it’s no longer dominated by the “Uncategorized” category.
That’s because I spend most of Saturday cleaning things up. I checked spelling (thinking I’d correct just a few words I misspell often, when I finish that exercise I’ll tell you all about it) in old posts [...]

Integrity is rare on the left, while those on that side demanded it loudly, shrilly and often from conservatives.
However I am going to give credit where it is due - No Right Turn has consistently stood (often alone on the left) against David Benson-Pope.
Scary that this has been going on since 2005! Labour should be [...]

I’ve added “The Hive” to my blogroll.
It’s a well written blog and quite informative. Sorry guys, I do admit to putting you under “Right”, but it’s either that or “Left” and you don’t reference conspiracy theories to cover what you don’t know.
With a blog this good around, we’ll soon be 21 on the rankings

Problogger has a reality check to those wanting to blog for a living. Worth a read if that’s where you’d like to go with your posting.
I’ve often used the analogy of Professional sports people to highlight that in any ‘game’ there are many who play it - less who make a little money from the [...]
