From the Herald: Meanwhile, Yorkshireman Dave Ellis – who is in charge of the French defence – has revealed the team found strength to beat the All Blacks when they faced each other in 2007 by adopting a Spartan siege mentality. He told the Daily Mail that the Spartans against a million soldiers theme depicted…
It’s hard work at the best of times for political parties to attract good candidates. But it’s doubly so for the two main parties, because all the smaller parties are so quick to secure the urine-drinking bank-robbing identity-thieves, leaving National and Labour only the boring and sensible candidates to choose from.

Prime Minister John Key yesterday assured the public that his government was moving quickly to deal with the crisis caused by the grounding of the container-ship Rena. The Government has been criticised for its inaction, and Key has been accused of taking a hands-off approach towards the maritime misadventure. But Mr Key told the media a…
Was that a throat slitting gesture the PM made in the House yesterday?
