Do you think John Key is a weathervane or a weathercock?
I Know that Graham Reid has already used the title but I think with all the nasty stress he's been under it's time to suggest some "Songs in the Life of Key" for soothing tunes he could put on his iPod.
I'l kick off with:
Rankin' Full Stop (The Beat) Here Comes Richard (Billy Bragg) or Was it Worth it? (Pet Shop Boys) and Hey Paula (sorry, before my time!).
Any other suggestions? -

Family Health Diary as the prime example of the modern snake oil sales pitch. Find a suitable ache, itch or disfunction and create a pill or potion to cure it. Never mind whether it works or not, slap on a high price and promote the hell out of it.
