The current rise of populism challenges the way we think about people’s relationship to the economy.We seem to be entering an era of populism, in which leadership in a democracy is based on preferences of the population which do not seem entirely rational nor serving their longer interests. ...
The server will be getting hardware changes this evening starting at 10pm NZDT.
The site will be off line for some hours.
Hearty congratulations to the Black Caps for taking the test series against India.
After face planting in Australia, we just did the indians 2-0, plus the One Day matches.
Go the team!
Match fixing.
I say, you cad. A nasty suggestion like that is just not cricket.
Seems a long way from the chaos of the 1990's.

Cricket is for geeks and rejects who can't play other sports. Weak-minded fans watch because it's slow moving and they get confused with fast-paced games. Most NZ Cricket game attendees just want to bake in the sun and get pissed, because the game is so fucking boring.

From the ODT, on the Dunedin South selection:
"A move to Dunedin has taken former lawyer and journalist Ingrid Leary in an unexpected direction with her confirmation as Labour's candidate for Dunedin South in this year’s election.
Ms Leary triumphed in a field of three nominees for the seat being left vacant by the retirement of Clare Curran. Rachel Brooking and Simon McCallum were the unsuccessful candidates. (…)
"It was like a pressure cooker personal development course … I’ve never done anything this intense before, and I felt even if I wasn’t selected it would have been a thoroughly worthwhile journey for what I got out of it."
Ms Leary (52), a mother of three, was director of the British Council New Zealand for the past 11 years."
I thought if you were from the British Council you were just automatically spying for MI6? 🙂
Mini-Rimmer gets told off by the Hologram for being too libertarian.
