I saw it and frankly couldn't believe it as it is such an American show. But it was cool to see and they got the peoples names right and he he had a good go at "Waitangi". I felt a little bit global for a second.
The pollies are still a bunch of arses though. -
Doesn't this kind of undermine that whole Feedom 'n' Democracy thang?
The god/king can call you an enemy combatant and put you away for ever and then pop you out when he feels like it. A quick shake of the hand , a pat on the head and "mind how you go".
Un frickin' believable -
The reality much more nuanced than the usual "clash of civilisations" bilge. Damned if I know what ought to be done about it though.
That's the situation summed up rather nicely. The PNAC world view oversimplified everything and it's legacy lives on even though the actual group is rather diminished, apparently (probably still meet in Cheney's shed on Sunday afternoons).
The internal struggle within Islam and the history of Wahhibism barely get a mention in the MSM (hate that acronym, but what are you going to say?) yet is at the heart of radicalism.
If we want to be safer we will have to give a hand to those who want to modernize Islam but we will have avoid the "my enemies enemy..." trap.
People like Sarkozy might find that a little hard to take and the rabid American right aren't going to get on board anytime soon.

I went to a First Aid course last week where a portable Defib was demonstrated. It's your little emergency buddy alright.
Tells you where to put the sticky flaps, tells you to take the pulse, tells you to get away, tells you to press the button to deliver the whack. Then it tells you to start chest compressions and provides a beat for you to keep to. -

Careful Rich, you might start questioning some aspects of capitalism and the Black Helicopters Will Come For You!
Soon we will be thinking wistfully of the "Nigerian" scammers, I got an email from Burkino Faso that offered me the chance to be rich due to someones traffic accident. -
I heard Stephen Franks on The Panel and it was an odd performance. It sounded to me that he didn't believe what he was saying. He was putting out the standard "what were once protectors of freedom of speech are now oppressors of it" line without any conviction because he knew that he was defending a bucket of crap. And he knew that he was wrong but was prepared to take a bullet for the team. Very odd but then I'm pretty used to feeling like I'm in an alternate universe when Mr. Franks is talking.

In the words of the 20th centurys' premier American philosopher "Ha Ha!"
Well done to the complainents -
Closer to shriek than shrek. I just had this rising level of "This can't be happening".
If Hockey can team up with Bob Clarkson they will take Vegas by storm -
Yes there are collections at other churches but not the Bay Corp contracts.
I am asking because I am gobsmacked if this means that the tithing is kind of fierce in Dustiny.
Can you explain this a bit more Michael?Soppy of me I know but I would vote for "Welcome Home" as a national anthem.
Or for cynical days "There is no depression in New Zealand".
