Mon 16th December 2013:

I just happened to be at the Doctor’s today, and as you do picked up a magazine (I was actually reading it, not just looking at the pictures) – it was a Metro – and as they do, can turn just about anything into a story; in this case it was the Dan Carter underpants […]

Bitches are gender neutral

Tue 3rd December 2013:

Helen Milner’s alleged poisoning of her Husband is an interesting story of how women display their violence toward their partners. There are 2 points of interest to me. 1.

Woman Drunk Driver Victim? – Yeah Right

The media likes to call the woman a victim even when the facts are obvious. http://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/news/9410393/Victim-had-earlier-sought-sober-driver.
