Isn't this just a means of increasing PAS's profile in internet searches? A plethora of googlable terms and turgid innuendo almost guaranteed to turn up as a 'hit'.

Craig, good to see you back and apparently undiminished in the 'piss&vinegar' stakes. Your barbed counterpoint to the prevailing leftism has been missed (and i am sure not just by me).

Oh, I clicked on that link and now I feel tainted .

It's all right, Emma, you and David are both correct.

John Key wants to be a mirror when he grows up - reflect back to people what is important to them but offer nothing of any substance. And he's about as shallow.

Given the recent global financial meltdown 'economics' is about as scientific as consulting chicken entrails.
That said, I'm sure there is a semi-solid mathematical underpinning to economic theory but it is not helped by the unrealistic assumptions about people being 'rational actors' and the sustainability of constant growth in economic terms.
And sadly the whole financial market attracts the sort of people that the rest of us should perhaps be a little leery of - the greedy, selfish bastards.
(Not saying everyone involved has those characteristics, but people with them are attracted to the markets.)
