"Who in their right mind would agree to that" i.e. "cut emissions to 50% below 1990 levels by 2050." It's a target, not a contract with added penalties. You seem to be arguing that we cannot reduce emissions at all because there are limits on how much ...
Phelps died March 2014.
What a bastard. :roll:
Chris Christie?
The cake is a lie.
At the time I thought Key was flinging the false equivalence out of desperation, and even he was embarrassed (or at least uneasy) about resorting to such a weak display. The Standard is merely the least conspicuously absurd target available. I expected it ...
Going on past form, I don't think additional complications are needed to explain it. He simply needed to hold enough "high ground" at that moment, tactically, to diminish opposition effectiveness. Although it became an embarrassment later, there is no ...
For reference: Democrats for Social Credit website. I get the impression they're culturally more of a think tank, energised by ideas rather than the messy process of getting power. "Democrats" by name, but possibly wishing they could skip that step. It's ...
Ha! Great follow-ups.
Imagine the effect if ministers were to routinely append -- "... And can the Prime Minister confirm that his answers apply to the question immediately preceding this one?"
If you follow The Young Turks on YouTube, you quickly see that legalised corruption is not just common in the USA, it's how the system operates.
Well, I decided to go ahead after tightening up the phrasing a bit. At least it's brief and to the point.
The threshhold should be at a level below which most citizens could contribute, so the lack of reporting is balanced by distributed participation. $1000 is an entirely reasonable and pragmatic compromise. Is it any surprise that National's dark money alone...
How about, "Be Adequate!" :P
From No Right Turn. We have one day to make a submission on the "Countering Terrorist Fighters Legislation Bill." My submission would be simply: There is lack of confidence in the institutions that would be empowered by such a bill, and no further powers ...
All the MSM has to do is show this for their own salcious entertainment purposes, and more than a few NZers will be saying "too right!" -- regardless of the reporter's editorial spin.
What wishful-thinking lefties have to realise is that facts aren't enough. This situation is very similar to those Key faced in business and finance, in which he mastered techniques that allowed him to profit even on shaky foundations and step free of the ...
In the RNZ interview, Little insisted precisely that: "It's he who needs to apologise to the public of New Zealand." It's the interviewer who framed the question as Key apologising to Goff, but Little didn't affirm that framing at all, focusing primarily ...
To be fair, some of that corruption is necessary to cover up the incompetence.
:P Well, fronting-up to fix it exonerates you ;)
Yes. Too hard to wrangle a decent spinline from these reports; not enough noise to play with.
Dirty Politics? Oh, that's old news. We heard about it months ago and decided it wasn't a big deal, remember? We got on with business as usual and had an election. All this inquiry stuff is just filling in trivia for geeks who are into that sort of thing. ...
Little has said that all these positions will come under review after a year. It's not a regular event, just how he has decided build and test the team under present circumstances.
So glad I could read transcriptions of the interviews online so I don't have try watching them.
It seems that Spark/Telecom now have their telemarketers going door-to-door. There he was; Immaculately groomed, with perfect Indian-English, textbook body-language, professional, polite, and utterly committed to take any and every opening to try a new ...
The waste is hardwired. First, you must choose your favourite wine. And only afterwards can you say you don't want any wine.
.. and the maari in a McDonalds uniform holding a spatula. --------------------------------- I think there is opportunity for some clever people to use the publicity focus against the system. Design flags that raise questions or mock superficiality etc. ...
And by "serving the US," we don't even mean the American people, which would provide some sliver of decency, but only endorse the disservice against them by their own politicians.
As I understand it, you read correctly. What matters is that Moon is choosing issues other than the core finding to cast doubt, before segueing to (paraphrase) "Since the Crown self-evidently excersizes authority in reality, there's no point questioning it...
I was much encouraged to read such concrete findings from an official "court." Hopefully, the ramifications will go beyond claims settlements and reshape NZ's sociopolitical systems.
The Left needs a strong Labour party primarily committed to workers and social infrastructure. Security, dignity, and well-being will contribute to a more politically astute, benevolent, and active population. Such a foundation would open the public will ...
