		<description>I suspect DPF is going to be the only one to see this comment, but do you think Hager has been vindicated by Brash&#039;s response in this interview?
http://www.stuff.co.nz/sundaystartimes/4565928a6619.html

----

But surely this &quot;hiding&quot; Brash speaks of goes to the very heart of Nicky Hager&#039;s claims in his book The Hollow Men. Drawing on sheafs of leaked National Party emails, Hager&#039;s book exposed the realities of modern political branding, documenting the cynical reshaping of a controversial candidate into a vote-winning product. Hager argued that the price Brash and National paid for their expedience was they became hollow men, unsure what they stood for, empty at the core.

Brash barks in annoyance. The book, he says &quot;was at least an honest attack&quot;.
----

I don&#039;t see how Brash could consider it &quot;an honest attack&quot; unless Hager&#039;s sources were credible.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Correcting spelling on the Internet is like running in the special olympics, at the end of the day you&#039;re still a retard.&lt;/em&gt;

ahahaaha! I thought (and Google seems to agree) that the phrase was &#039;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.google.com/search?q=%22arguing+on+the+internet+is%22&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;arguing on the internet...&lt;/a&gt;&#039; - something we all seem to be doing here, making anyone involved with &lt;i&gt;this &lt;/i&gt; argument ... err, well, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.clint.ca/argue/argue.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;you can figure it out&lt;/a&gt;. 

besides, after the &#039;no no no no no no&#039; NCEA txting thread, I thought people might like the odd correction here and there. have to keep up our standards, don&#039;t we?</description>

		<description>On the lighter side of things I am auctioning an empty whisky bottle similar to the one Don Brash would have emptied last night...

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.trademe.co.nz/Antiques-collectables/Alcohol-related/Spirits-related/Whiskey/auction-78682983.htm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.trademe.co.nz/Antiques-collectables/Alcohol-related/Spirits-related/Whiskey/auction-78682983.htm&lt;/a&gt;

I expect to get some serious stick for doing this
but you have to have a sense of humour...

I am blogging about this auction too:

That&#039;s your third post this thread where you&#039;ve taken it upon yourself to correct someone&#039;s spelling.

		<description>To the person posting from Xtra IP Address as 219.89.128.103 using the alias Dad4Justice:

I have deleted your defamatory posts.  You are banned from this blog until 2007.  If you post here again I will complain to your ISP.

Also you have been using the alias of another commenter, to deliberately cause confusion.  This is also unacceptable.  

Finally do not use my blog to fight your personal battles.</description>

		<description>&quot;You can&#039;t even blog without someone stealing your signature!!!!!!!!&quot;

It&#039;s always been so. DPF can see which IP addresses comments came from &amp; presumably will if any comment is offensive. Although to be frank, I can&#039;t see anyone getting more so than the original. If you get my drift.

At first I thought the d4j post owning to being a peeping tom hanging around public toilets was real... now I&#039;m not so sure.

And now I don&#039;t care.</description>
