Holy Crap!

I've been doing this for almost 12 years! That's quite impressive, even if I do say so myself.  Like Theresa May, I impress not with my skill at what I do, but that I persist in doing when all around me would prefer me to stop.

(That's probably not a fair comparison.  I suspect all around me wouldn't even notice whatever I did.)

Still, 'twas not always thus.  I used to shake the foundations of the Heavens with my postings.  Highlights?

• Probably blogging about Louis Rawnsley, which - in a tiny, tiny way - contributed to him getting a payout from TVNZ.

• Ranting about Mohammed Haneef, which probably made no difference to him, but seemed to be an occasion where I was a bit ahead of the mainstream media.

• Commenting on the Urewera Raids, where I managed to be saner than a lot of people on the left.

•  And getting referred to as "A traditional enemy of truth" by David Irving. When a Holocaust denier hates you, you know you must be doing something right.

As that beardy chappie once said, "The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways; the point is to change it." I have signally failed to do either.  More effort required.

I'll try to actually post a bit more in future.  After all the world, incomprehensibly, has not put itself to rights just because I said it should.
