Wildilocks Can Has Journal?

Here are some political commentary links.

Palin vs Clinton skit which is highly amusing, if you haven’t seen it yet, do!

Matt Damon has some good points about Palin, but I guess he’s mostly preaching to the converted…

but this veteran’s blog is probably one of the more interesting comments, and more useful to try and seed doubt amongst those who are less likely to be swayed.

My honest opinion? Palin was chosen for the abortion issue, and the Republicans are betting on there being a ton of rabid right-to-lifers planning on voting. They are, unfortunately, probably right, as we all know there are more religious nutters in the US than aaaanywhere else, they are loud and they are militant and they almost all think it’s a sin to kill your unborn childs. So yeah - even as the Democrats are having a field day taking the piss out of Palin [and it really is funny, how could it not be with such great material], my stomach sinks :(.

In completely non-political news, I state this is the best job ad EVAR, and ask my NZ pals if they’ve been to this place.

Took a while, but finally got around to making a wordpress news blog for Kiwiburn and transposed everything that used to be on the “news” page. Now you need never miss KB news again: add the news feed to your feed reader [http://kiwiburn.com/news/?feed=rss2], or even easier, add the lj feed to your friends’ list: .

So, whaddaya think of this then [which I saw mentioned on worldchanging.com?] Seems a bit naff to me, but then I’m allergic to politics, advertising and too many primary colours in icons.

Kinda makes me want to start my own political party when I move there though, given the almost infinite choice of parties running, it looks it can’t be that hard to get started - and given the kinds of awesome groundswell the internet allows for political stuff, eg this, then I’m sure it wouldn’t be impossible to get somewhere with it!

I wish I was in Wellington right now, it sounds awesome….

If not a one of you has any pics of snow posted tomorrow, I’ll be a saaaaad panda.
