Next time you're sitting down to do one of your meaningless blog rants, be thankful you can. A new blog I found via World Changing is The Committee to Protect Bloggers.
They state their purpose being as follows:
The Committee to Protect Bloggers is devoted to the protection of bloggers around the world. In a host [...]
JUST BECAUSE THEY’RE BUILDING A ROAD THROUGH OUR COMMUNITY DOESN’T MEAN WE HAVE TO STOP USING IT NOW.
NEXT FULL MOON FIRE AND DRUMMING @ KENSINGTON GARDENS
25 JANUARY NIGHTFALL
ALL WELCOME
BRING DRUMS FIRE TOYS AND HAPPY VIBES
Yes folks, that's tomorrow night, see you there.
Wow there's some bizarre news for you. Federated Farmers extolling the virtues of Green Party policy. Wonders will never cease! While they do have different reasoning behind supporting what Jeanette had to say, it's nice to see that they can agree with us on agreed policy points.
In global news a BBC survey [...]
This one is so, so, so pretty!!
In Rudman's latest Herald column, he hypothesis a situation where an MP declares a prohibition on not having fun.
The only problem is, he is dismissing this as a ludicrous idea. I have advocated dictatorship for mandatory funism for years now (the only acceptable form of dictatorship IMHO). And Mr Rudman might remember a [...]
World Changing has an interview with Kevin Morrison, a US film maker who has made a doco on Kathryn Blume and her experience with participating in the Lysistrata Project. You can view the trailer here.
The film looks pretty interesting and I look forward to being able to see it here.
The interview itself is a [...]

Jeanette launched the year with her Picnic for the Planet on Waiheke Island in the sun yesterday afternoon. You can read her speech here and listen to the interview with Morning Report here.
Much has been made of the focus on energy and in particular, peak oil. I have quoted the relevant bits from [...]
Today the wankers set their sights on Oak Park Ave. So all of the ABA crew were there in full force. Full reports are available at Indymedia.
I was particularly saddened today as the buildings marked for destruction were in my old stomping ground. But I was really impressd with the community support [...]
I've had a few people asking me over the last week what websites there are about anti-bypass stuff. So thought I might drop them on here too, just in case some of you out there either a) don't know they exist or b) forgot and haven't visited in a while. So…
No Bypass is the [...]
When I first heard the news of the Tsunami my heart went out to all of the victims. But most of all, the people of Acheh. For a group of people already seriously screwed, this disaster has been a major kick in the guts. Although one of the 'good things' has been [...]
When I woke up on the 1st of Jan one of the first thoughts that went through my brain was "election year - yes!" I must admit, I am a complete geek when it comes to elections, I love them! Hell of a lot of work but it's one of those rare times [...]
