Well, a bad week for Labour and a good week for Goff. Chris Carter displays an uncanny knack of getting negative press for Labour every-time they should instead be capitalizing on National-related political events. And how far back do his strings go? All the way to the United Nations perhaps? Ironically, Goff looked like a real leader at last by firing Chris. Chris might feel liberated, but Gillard he aint.
I suspect there will be a play for the Labour leadership, but only when the leftier factions are ready to roll. Oh, Little do we know of that coming day, but maybe it will be Clare to all when it happens.
The wiki-leaks are another serious issue. Serious if you are an enemy of the Taleban that is. I note the orchestrator of the leaks seems to want to blame everyone else for the danger he has put those people in. Maybe our side of the war isn't perfect, but when your "helpful criticism" helps the enemy in a significant, game changing way, leading to the deaths of good people, then you have effectively chosen sides.
Also in the papers all kinds of interesting news. Global Warming is true declares the UK Met office. They don't fully explain in the news releases that going up half a degree every decade categorically proves AGW, they just figure it can't be any other reason. That reasoning is so flawed, that I'm not even going to go there. I'll instead give them the benefit of the doubt. Let's agree for a moment the world is warming a little. Does that mean the end of the planet? It may mean the reverse - better growing seasons, the opening up of new areas of land for cultivation and all sorts of positives. Does it also mean it is definitely man-made? Well, until they rule out the other big possibilities, such as the Sun, I'm going to take the news with a grain of salt. It's not the thing we need to concern ourselves with at any rate (aside from the obvious good sense in acting in a sustainable matter, which is necessary no matter what is happening over the next 100 years with the weather stations) No, the thing to concern ourselves with is the political response to the supposed problem. Now, so far, that is the thing that worries me. The response does not stack up on many levels. But let's not dwell on that on a FNFFA when there are so many other distractions.
What have they been for you this week?
