    as a real piece of work you mean, someone who is over the US election and focused on the NZ election?

    Great. So can you go and be focused about the NZ election someplace else? Seems like you're wasting your precious focussing time talking to us bozos on this particular thread. And not to be counterlecturing or anything, but I was out canvassing some ultra-lame electoral material just this morning for this national election thingamabob. I imagine you'll be busy doing similar work of your own for among the local expats, so, you know... chop chop.

    as if unwinding,
    or running out of puff.

    Or being a pretentious jerk, yeah.
    Oh, sorry, forgot about keeping it clubbable.

    notwithstanding how incredibly powerful the POTUS is by comparison to the PMONZ

    I am so using PMONZ from this day forward.

    not forgetting that for days there has been an ad to the right of these boards reminding us that all politicians are liars

    Are we compelled to agree with it?

    knowing full well that when a maori finally attains the coveted NZ captaincy there won't be half the hyperbole

    I'd wait until such time and point you in the meantime to the vastly different histories in race relations in the two countries.

    and no disrespect to to Obama; he has great teeth and and has said the right words. I'm just left with kind of in awe of how successful the wires and wirelesses have been in turning the droves into US drones.

    This is the thing that irks me the most. We have universal suffrage, and it didn't come cheap. You may complain about the uniformity of political choices and wank over that as much as you want, but ridiculing the people who got vote really gets my back up.

    It's called being a prick.

    Are you sure about that? I've looked around a little bit and all I get is 'malicious joy'. No sign of friends in the various dictionaries and other sources I've looked at.

    There's nothing like being both pedantic and wrong, innit? My apologies.

    So we are lacking a word for finding solace in the misfortune of friends. Any suggestions?

    Tiso: The Predictatron! Good work sir.

    Well thank you ma'm. Can't tell you how much easier it is to attend to daily tasks now that I've regained the use of both hands.

    And the Pacific isn't what it's cracked up to be

    Crap, so now I'm going to have Let's Face the Music and Dance in my head all day.

    "I was reading an article which reckons he has the potential to become a Black Hitler!"

    Well, it's about time we had a black Hitler.

    (What? Too soon?)

    I'd quite like him to end his Inauguration speech with "And now my brothers, SEIZE THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION!

    When he came out yesterday about 2% of me was wondering if he would say "Guys, you've been so punked".
