Thank you Russell.

Insider outsider,
Maybe. But your argument is that almost all of their potential pay increase might have been lost to a move across a WFF threshold. This is completely different from a situation where the top marginal tax rate gets raised a couple of percent.
With regards to productivity, the increases we are after oughtn't be in increased hours worked, anyhow. They should be increased output per hour.

I'm pretty sure the reason John Key is so loathed by the left is that they see him as a class traitor.
Pardon?

In particular, Hard News has been a strong supporter of the Government approach to the Electoral Finance Act. But it is understood that the new Media 7 show will have a number of participants. The series has been given funding for 34 episodes.
Can someone please explain to me the relationship between the first and second sentence above? And just what the 'but' is doing in there.
Implying something? or just angrily opposed to coherent paragraphs...

Craig,
Re: Bill Clinton's ongoing sleeze. Good point! Why in god's name does he need to do mineral deals with dictators?

Oh, and this is interesting. John Nichols reckons that there are two potential outcomes from super Tuesday: a draw or an Obama win.

Neil,
True - hard to say for certain. Who knows, maybe Obama has some great big skeleton in his closet. And Clinton, whatever else you might say about her, has probably had everything remotely resembling a bone plucked from hers long before now.
On the other hand, while Obama maybe a greater risk, can you really watch those speeches and tell me that he has no more potential than Clinton to inspire the average American voter?

Neil Morrison,
The polls may show Obama and Clinton performing about the same against McCain, but the thing is - at least as I see it - Hillary is probably polling as high as she ever will. Obama on the other hand, given his oratory and the like, might well be able to change things significantly on the campaign trail.
Over at the Nation, Christopher Hayes does a nice job of making the case for Obama.
Rob Hosking,
He can't count, he don't do science. The only thing scarier than the Huck for VP is Huckabee as president...

Yes, but Italian is a fiendishly difficult language.
Yikes! Four languages in just 3 words. I blame Bebo.
