Thoughts for the Day

Are compulsively reasonable people like Glenn Reynolds members of the political Far Centre?

I can't stand pumpkin, but I love pumpkin scones. How does that work? Take a scone, add something I don't like (pumpkin) and it tastes better. I don't get it.

Mainland brand butter comes from New Zealand. New Zealand doesn't have a mainland. It's two islands off the coast of Australia (called, in a fit of originality, North Island and South Island). Where's the mainland? Are they planning something?

4 The Far Center -- that's lovely.
(But shouldn't you be calling it the "Far Centre"? Or is there something I don't know about you?

5 I thought I did. In fact, I did did. Oh, now you've confused me!
And there are lots of things about me you don't know. I'll let you in on one: right now I'm wearing a red t-shirt with a goanna printed on it. There, much better.

9 Incidentally, Mainland brand dairy products come from the South Island, which is sometimes called the mainland because it's quite a bit larger than the North Island.
As for whether New Zealand is planning anything, I'm sure I really couldn't say, but I might point out that a popular postcard sold all over New Zealand depicts not just the North and South Islands, but also a "West Island" - Australia. I'm sure it's just a joke though.
