But if you really wanna hear a hugely talented guitarist, Steve Vai beats ’em all.

Very nice Don. Amazing what a guitar can do in the hands of a virtuoso. And Steves hands melt guitars like butter. I own an Ibanez too but nothing like that.

Just read the column in the Hooerald by Bryce Edwards, the leftist ex-staffer of the Alliance Party.

Edwards dresses his column as a summary or round-up of the NZ political blogosphere. In fact, it links to a swathe of attacks on John Key. Edwards gives play to the thicker Leftists, like Bradbury, and uses some of Radio NZ’s designated right-wing commentator, PR man and lobbyist Hooton, as a play at balance.

Edwards brings in Du Plessis Allan on the flag debate. Here’s what he quotes this South African import saying about the flag debate:

Perhaps, we might have felt like we got what we wanted in a flag, if it felt less like the Prime Minister got exactly what he wanted in a flag.”

Yuck!

How does Edwards, the champion of the NZ Left blogosphere, get access to the Hooerald?

Left Right and Centre

I went out at 9:30pm and ran more fragmented kms – 5 + 3.1 + 3.1 (supermarket) + 2 – around 13km/h – and set my calendar day record . . .55.5kms total on the 29th. The last two km run came in at 11:58pm. Beat the radio news so – it all counted.
You can do it after a rest and re-fuel but must be done before body seizes up post marathon – during the afterglow. I knew that trick from experience.
2km/h+ over a 24 hour day ? 55.5km over 2pm-midnight stretch ? A heap of kays on leap day.

And now after those moments of awesomeness – a day of dazzling distance, it’s back to the over-riding utter pointlessness and futility of this brief flicker of existence. Dreamy to dreary. Oh dear. How sad. Never mind. Shit must continue to happen. Back to the shit it is then. I ran like there’s no tomorrow. Unfortunately however – there bloody is one.

Just one death caused by driver in lower drink-driving limit since law introduced

Well of course.
We all could see that would be the case. BUT…

A total of 320 people died on the roads last year, compared with 294 in 2014. There have been 52 road deaths so far this year, against 49 by the same time last year.

Before the new limit of 50 milligrams of alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood, or 250 micro grams of alcohol per litre of breath, was introduced in December 2014, the Ministry of Transport estimated it would save three lives a year, as well as 64 minor and serious injuries.

Labour transport spokeswoman Sue Moroney said the single death showed that lower-end drink-driving was not a high-risk area, and that a rise in the national road toll showed the Government’s road safety measures were not working.

And certainly Moroney is correct.

Still the Nazi’s will be out there with their camera’s nd blow machines following orders.

I see they spent the day questioning the Fonterra driver who then, according to reports, took his own life.

Does not look good. IMHO

I missed the bit where the article says that the police talked to the driver for most of a day. They did talk to Mr Giles, who witnessed the incident, for most of the day, but no mention of the driver.
