It is really a question of how much dishonesty we are willing to stomach
Yeah, I guess that's it, the Matrix school of politics.

One thing about this affair does my head in.
Last night on Campbell live Barry Gustafson gave examples of meetings that Labour and National had had with different groups that they wouldn't want people to know about. Some of these e-mails apparently fall into this category, stuff politicians don't want us to know.
But we all do "know" or suspect that what we see is the 1/8th of the mass that is above the water.
It's as though we are meant to have the knowlege but not act on it, to have a separate part of the brain that turns off at decision time. "I think that they are a bunch of liars, but I'll trust them again".
So that we can then watch the baby kissing and listen to speeches about family values and one law for all while knowing that it is a sham.
Does my head in. -
So, he's gone. Is that the sound of weeping from Roger Douglas's house?
How long before the hagiographic biography from one of Americas finest writers, that Bill O'Reilly is a pretty good writer isn' t he?
I wonder what sort of party there will be in whatever afterlife Friedman goes to, there'll probably not be a free bar. -
"Welcome Home" has been known to get me teared up too. I've always like Dobbyns music and actually like the original video of "Loyal".
I bought the album Cool Bananas and still maintain that it is a great live album.
Love the report of the Speakers Corner ceremony, we'll go there if we get to London. -
I thought that the first show was pretty good. A bit too much on the Nicky Watson stuff. The Woolly Valley in Farsi was surreal.
Over on Prime at the same time was the Encore Performance of Holmes blathering on with Judy Bailey. Which one was extracting the urine about local personalities??? -
Sapphire and Steel was good. I must admit that I thought that Blakes 7 and the Tomorrow People were hopeless. Doctor Who, Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlett were my favourites.
"Catweazle" was pretty good too. -
A song that encapsulates a lot of how I look and at life and is one of my favourites so manages to be veyr germaine whilst also too too appropriate "Goin' Underground" -The Jam.
