So what is a subprime then?
The phrase "subprime" seems to have become part of our universal vocabulary - reflecting global uncertainty, events beyond our control, and financial complexities. A subject of great importance and seriousness - until I saw this clip from Bird and Fortune...perfect Sunday viewing.

Geek’s view
On the odd occasion I have time to read outside of the confines of The Standard and its ever increasing brawl of entertaining comments. I noticed we don't have a external reading list, and it is within the range of my writing skills, so here…

Why Key really wants super-fast broadband
Remember National's broadband 'plan' that reads like it was drawn up on the back of a napkin? Notice how the only gains they can point to from this plan to borrow $1.5 billion are better video conferencing (when was the last time the average worker…

The Ministry of National Affairs
Here's a good ten minutes from the middle of Winston's post budget address yesterday. The highlight is around four minutes in, on National's burgeoning bureaucracy: Did you know that John Key himself in his Wellington parliamentary office employs has 36 people?... they cost the taxpayer, every year... over…

Daily Show on the Pollies
The Daily Show's John Oliver goes behind the scenes at the Pollies, the US awards ceremony for political ad consultants. Hilarious. Watch the nominees tell Oliver how to destroy hope, make voters fear black people and hang your fragile ego on a yard sign. I'm…

Bad Comics
So, one internet comic writer challenged another internet comic writer to draw 200 bad comics and this was the result. Awesome on so many levels. I especially like number 10. I wonder if that will be New Zealand come November.

Flat-Earthers heart climate change deniers
The Climate Science Coalition is the last of a dying breed; a rabid, climate change denying lobby group. Of late, they have been performing a desperate, last-ditch attempt to slow the introduction of a carbon trading scheme. And, now, it looks like they've received some heavy-weight support in the form…

“Frankly, it’s a market”
That's what Key said when asked about his plan to increase GP fees. A reader reckons Key's planning to apply the same market logic to crime: Great cartoon. No wonder National's Law and order Spokesperson, Simon Power, is distancing himself from Key's policy.
