lazy blogger tries to paper cracks
I'm going to be a little structured about this - here's my favourite post from each month this year:
January
Jan 30th - benefit envy - why do the rich seem to be jealous of the poor?

Feb 3rd - tending towards the extremes - on NZ media bias
March
Mar 21st - who pays the carers in a free market world? - rightwingedness and caregiving work
April
Apr 10th - a barren argument - PM's parental status irrelevance shock!
May
May 29th - give us a toot - honking hurts
June
Jun 12th - aborting abortion - rather self-explanatory title methinks
July (I've cheated and chosen two)
July 24th - imagine - Brash and the mainstream
July 26th - you. will. conform. - bullying as a tool to impose conformity
August
Aug 22nd - working hard for money and working hard for family - Nats seem to want parents spending less time with their kids (Code of Social Responsibility anyone?)

Looks like January could be a good time to write a bit of an assessment and where the various left and centre-left parties are at...
I'd also recommend checking out the posts under a few things worth noting, on the sidebar under the recent comments.
Hope everyone is having a safe and happy festive season - not sure when this thing will be fully operational again.

On a different note - feel free to remove the link to my old blog on your blog roll.
:-)
does the use of "old" imply there is a "new"?
Certainly not - I'm delighted to be rid of the burden of blogging and happy to retire as just a commenter.
good lord! where do old blog go when they die?
mr s - if you're unlucky they get turned into commercial sites parasiting off your high links, eg Greg Stephen's NZ Political Comments site, which he shut down and then someone else started up again to hock off phone cards.
mr b - i'm curious as to why you deleted all your old posts?
