   The stench from the opposite end of the political spectra should cancel each other out therefore I propose a blog merger to form The KiwiStandard blog.

   Of course it may also form an interwebs version of a neutron star.

     Or SkyNet…

     Oh wait, that analogy has already been taken.

     No no.. Your cosmology is wrong. A neutron star is what is left after that type of merger. The wee blue white dwarf spirals into the red giant forming a supernova. At the end of of it all you have a lot of ejecta that will eventually form new stars, and remaining is a rapidly spinning highly compact neutron.

     And example of that final stage will show whenever you look at anything to do with the Alliance these days, and it looks like Act is joining them after they finish ejecting everyone.

   I thought Draco’s suggestion in open mike today was the best …
    

   Nuke it from orbit, it’s the only way to be sure.

     I’d be supportive of that option if it would take out parliament and most of the civil service dross at the same time.

       I much rather nuke the Kapiti Coast up to Levin, it representsNZs most cogent argument for nuclear first strike. The earthquake will take care of your issues.

           probably just wants me out of my nice cheap studio that’s all :]

           That or he has an obvious aversion to NZ owned Industrial Manufacturing and Agricultural sectors that have not converted to immigrant workfarms and Dairy monoploies.

             Nothing as simple…the road drives me mad, otaki as a seconds shp stop is ghastly and Levin gets in the way when going fishing….nothing personal.

     It’s simpler to just not go there if you don’t like it. Or do you not like other people choosing to share their knowledge, views and arguments?

     I guess it’s a matter of whether you (ms) prefer to try and eliminate all opposition or encourage as much participation in open debate as possible.

   It needs a bit of a trim and I guess a blue rinse.

   A medicated shampoo from the chemist ought to do the trick. Alternatively you can try shaving the infected area. Washing affected bedding and clothes in a hot wash and drying in sunshine will be necessary.

   Captain Kirk would use phasers and photon torpedoes.

   Personally, I prefer The Doctor’s weapons; a laser stare; an acid wit; and a sonic screwdriver set to “Re-nationalise all previously privatised state assets”.

   Failing that, hand Kiwiblog over to the tender mercies of ACT. Brash will privatise it; sell it to our Chinese cuzzies; who will promptly turn it into an organ of the Red Guard or their Communist Party.

   There.

   Sorted.

   In all serious though, perhaps – in a display of fraternal solidarity between bloggers – The Standard can be understanding of his predicament and offer David a page or two here, on The Standard.

   At current market rates, of course.

    What about one of those old fashioned remedies for the Clap? I saw that on an episode of Boardwalk Empire, it looked suitably excrutiating 🙂

      I draw the line at needling someone with mercury or silver nitrate.. Verbiage or even deadly’s airburst nuke sounds more humane

    First of all there is no plan. Actually there is a plan. The solution calls for a wide bus but a cycle track is provided and a 6 lane highway to the owners home drive and the soltion comes in bits..

    The environmental issues, as all Nats know, has no value and therefore does not need any speciaql consideration. The disks can be strip gouged to skim off the low value surface data leaving a pile of toxic spoil which will poison future generations, leaving a barren surface unregognisable to previous users.

    The cleaning will however consider health and safety issues. Health and safety issue will be addressed by leaving the recommendations in the in-tray, ensuring that employee representatives have no role, implementing four 18 monthe reviews when it all goes tits up and telling all the affected parties that in New Zealand we are all our brothers keeper.

        It’s a dig at the Nats for, in order, cycle track & RONS, mining conservation land, Health and Safety re Pike River (I think).

          I could see that. But kiwiblog (fortunately) isn’t the government. If it was I would know, because I would be trying to avoid the death camps while conducting a roach extermination campaign of my own.

            Oh you drama queen lprent! 😉 but i thought it would be amusing to cleanse the system using the methods adopted by the government. And warming to the theme – maybe David could clean it all himself rather than relying on back office assistance!

              😈 ah ha… The missing point for unsubtle amongst us.

              Part of my personal campaign for clarity in comments. Oracular statements, pointless comments, and critics without ideas tend to attract my commentary with some sharply pointed comments. In this case I was just puzzled.

              I view it as part of my contribution to the net….

    I would first cleanse it with a karakia, a protective incantation invoking the Mana Party.

    Secondly, I would then wrap it completely with the Tino Rangatiratanga Flag to remove corruption from its hardened disk.

    Thirdly, I would re-install its software with a default set to Te Reo versions only.

    Oh, and a permanently embedded desktop image of a beautifully smiley Hone Harawira – wearing a mofo t-shirt.

    All of the above guaranteed to exterminate the bugs infesting the technology.

      This is wonderful but should be preceded by an exorcism ritual by a powerful tohunga.
      Clearly there are disturbed spirits infesting the blog that need to return to their turangawaewae – probably a place with rubber walls?
