Fucksake. It's quite clear now that they only looked at this benefit policy as political marketing and took no advice on who it would impact – which includes young people with serious health issues and disabilities. Just feckless and cynical. Shame on them. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

This used to be called "alternative energy" but it's now not only mainstream: renewables are now beating coal!

Look, universe, you just hold up right there. This is NOT the time that we can survive Dolly Parton being at all at risk.

I'm just saying this whole system is built on her being here, and I cannot predict what will happen if you even consider otherwise.

Undies = the busiest department in the shop.
The Datsuns = on Ballys’ piped sound system. Very strange.
