And the hits just keep on coming

Police sanitise recruit failings – Stuff.co.nz

If life couldn't get anymore embarrassing for Labour and Clark it just did with revelations that the political hacks at Police HQ The Office of the Commissioner have been doctoring reports.

Clark will be puce faced over this one as she herself has used the glowing doctored reports in parliament and now stands accused of misleading parliament.

The guillotine will be busy this week in Wellington.

Wikia to take on Google and Yahoo in search


Wikia hunts Google with new web search service – 30 Jul 2007 – NZ Herald: Technology News from New Zealand and around the World

Wikipedia founder jimmy Wales is turning his attention and sights on Google. Wikia has bought Grub a pioneering web crawler that will enable Wikia’s forthcoming search service to scour the web to index relevant sites.

The new Wikia search service will combine computer-driven algorithms and human-assisted editing when the company launches a public version of the search site toward the end of 2007.

They will have their work cut out for them taking on multi-billionaires Google at their own game. I will watch and try with interest.

Labour getting spanked in Auckland


Worrying signs for Labour in Aucklanders’ attitudes – 30 Jul 2007 – NZ Herald: New Zealand National news

The Herald has conducted a snap poll in Auckland and the news isn’t good for Labour.

National has a massive 12 point lead. There is an old saying that if you lose Auckland you lose the country.

National 50.2%
Labour 38.6%

Of course Jordan if he can bring himself to post will spin this the same way as Dear Leader that this isn’t a nationwide poll. Well so what, it is a Local poll showing you are getting a right good spanking of the kind that Panty Slut-boy would enjoy and the irony is that it is him who has helped deliver the spanking.

Cactus Kate on blojo's


Cactus Kate: The Emergence of The BloJo

No that is not a typo, there isn’t a “w” or a “b” missing. Cactus dear is talking about the advent of blogging journalists.

I get a mention, thanks doll. But by and large the blojo’s get the big stick for lacking independence and objectivity.

This is a very good analysis of the key differences between “real journalists” and citizen journalists (bloggers).
