Petulant Media Cop a Truth Bomb

Petulant Media Cop a Truth Bomb

Media petulance is growing as they demand to be told what is going on. But, to their credit, Christopher Luxon, Winston Peters and David Seymour are mostly staying mum on details…except for a few truth bombs: Peters was asked about the cost of hiring hotel rooms for negotiations since

No Sparkling in This Grave

No Sparkling in This Grave

When we hear the word vampire, an almost automatic image springs to mind: aristocratic, suave, beautiful, etc. Even the sparkly vampires of the much-derided Twilight series are wealthy, aristocratic and achingly beautiful (hey, I’ll admit to a thing for Alice Cullen). But all that is very much a

Would You like a Hole in the Head with That?

In recent posts, I’ve explored humans’ ancient fascinations with putting dicks on things, and fart jokes. But there’s another widespread ancient practice that’s both weirder and a whole lot more painful than dicks and farts. Or maybe not, depending on what you do with both, I guess.

Wherever He Goes, There They Are

Wherever He Goes, There They Are

In politics, perceptions are critical. Especially bad ones. Once a negative public perception takes hold, it can be near-impossible to shake. Just ask former opposition leaders like Labor’s Simon Crean, or the Liberal’s Brendan Nelson. Australian PM Anthony Albanese is finding that out the hard way, as

They Want ‘Em Dumb and Loud

They Want ‘Em Dumb and Loud

In 1983, Julie Brown released her sadly underrated pop classic, I Like ‘Em Big and Stupid. The song’s uber-Valley Girl protagonist yearns for a “Superman with a lobotomy”. Authoritarian governments would concur, especially if one translates Superman to its German original Ubermensch. Authoritarians like their bootboys to follow

The Green Left’s Great Big Blind Spot on Israel

The Green Left’s Great Big Blind Spot on Israel

As international law expert Natasha Hausdorff admonished a right-on BBC reporter, when it comes to Israel-Palestine, a great many people are “desperately ignorant, yet highly opinionated”. None more so than green-left politicians like Australia’s Mehreen Faruqi, who gibbers nonsense such as that Israel is a “coloniser”

Narnia Is Much More than Mere Allegory

Narnia Is Much More than Mere Allegory

It’s a commonplace that C. S. Lewis’ Narnia stories “are a Christian allegory”. Which, at a cursory glance, most of us assume even as children. Once the penny drops that Aslan is Jesus, it all seems to fall into place. The idea of Narnia-as-allegory has such wide

Media Still Acting like Petulant Children

Bryce Edwards is the latest media luvvie to have a crack at the negotiations like a petulant child, except this time he is attacking Christopher Luxon for an apparent lack of skill in negotiating. The media speculation is starting to get tiresome. It is even more tiresome when Edwards references

We Want It in Plain English Thanks

There is one thing I am positive about. The average Kiwi is sick of the constant bullying from the Maori elite and now in turn most of us want the Government departments to be referred to again in English. If you enjoyed this article please share it using the share
