hey, Buffy fen, scans_daily has a preview of Buffy Season Eight (a comic book Joss himself is doing that is supposed to, you know, take the place of Season 8.) It's only a few pages but there's something in there that Angel fans especially will find funny. :P

Today, in a shock piece of real news on the front page, the Dominion Post ran a very short article in which they quoted Tariana Turia as saying that Pacific Islanders should be able to vote on the Maori electorate roll.

      [Labour MP Shane Jones] said the Maori roll was a constitutional right.
      Its future would be best settled by Maori voters; it was not "some kind
       [of] largesse for (Mrs Turia) to hand out as a political gimmick".

      Mrs Turia said Mr Jones should spend more time sticking up for Maori and
      less time attacking the party for cheap political points.

Multiple choice, kids: statements like this demonstrate

a) Mrs Turia is a brilliant, innovative and open politician
b) Mrs Turia is a little misguided and/or flaky
c) Mrs Turia is an idiot
d) Mrs Turia has lost the plot in a big way
e) Mrs Turia is actively racist and less interested in biculturalism and her party's people than she pretends
f) Peta Sharples needs to come home
