    Rich's daily display of his paranoia. Spends all day and every day
    worrying about John Key and the National party - trolling through every publication know to man and if he can't find anything detrimental to
    post here, he puts a spin on to make the good sound like dog shit.
    Difficult condition to cure. Biggest problem is getting them to stay on medication. Often they don't even trust that.

    A necessary ingredient of satire is wit - a touch seriously lacking in the article, which struggles even to reach the level of an average fourth form.

    Poor deluded fool doesn't understand the difference between satire and
    pathos. But with Labour good, National bad running around in his head all
    the time I guess it's not that surprising. Though it may just be he's only
    got National bad as the sole inhabitant of the bit that stops his ears
    rubbing together.

    Pooh
