Or a pre-arranged piece of theater, as some journalist "kidnappings" in Iraq proved to be.

We've had about 9 years of Labor government, which is about 8.5 years too many. Wiig does not speak for all of us.

I certainly understand that there are many fine Kiwis who are dedicated to the bedrock values of western society. But it seems to me that NZ has just about the most leftist government of all the western nations.

A few Scandanavian countries excepted, you'd probably be right. But our "Government" is a shabby, dodgy minority coalition of dodgy no-hopers held together by a shonky coalition agreement that allows Helen to call the shots.

Most of us didn't vote for Helen or her school-marm governments. Our MMP structure allows her to run the show using "divide-and-conquer". But it's definitely a mistake to interpret that our Labor government represents the majority: it does not by a very long shot.

It only represents a cross-section that can get its act together sufficiently to agree-to-disagree on most important issues if only to stay in power. Scandals, corruption and treachery notwithstanding.

A shocking and disgusting misuse of Democracy and the Parliamentary system.

I was puzzled by that comment from Centanni.

I didn't like it very
much either.

But, then it could very well be a Stockholm Syndrome.

Actually I think we need more Jennifer Griffins - telling the news from the free press Israeli side where safety and access are not tied to propaganda reporting.

"In some ways, I feel such sympathy for the Palestinian cause."

I wonder if Olaf is aware that their "cause" is the complete destuction of the state of Israel.

I'd wager he does.

Not a word in almost 4 1/2 years. I hope that no one held their breath.

I wonder if he knows about Obama, and last November's election, or if time stood still for him.
