This is not a post about David Bain. It just looks that way.

It betrays a bad mind
Garth McVicar thinks that same sex marriage is just another part of a breakdown in moral values that causes crime. Silly Garth - everyone knows it's not wearing hats that causes crime.
Read MoreIn praise of Judith Collins
My last post of 2012 said some mean things about Judith Collins. Let me make amends by starting 2013 with some nice words.
Read MoreBinnie vs Fisher: the definitive guide
This is the last word on the David Bain case. There will never be, nor need to be, another thing written about it ever again. Do you believe me much?
Read MoreCrowdsourcing the Binnie report (and the Fisher report on the Binnie report ...)
Want to say something about the Binnie Report on David Bain's innocence? Or Robert Fisher's review of that report? Or Judith Collins' handling of the whole matter? Here's your chance.
Read MoreThe return to zero
I have no idea how the David Bain compensation bid is now going to turn out. But I don't see why that should stop me telling you about it
Read MoreSusan Couch's deserved victory
I didn't think Susan Couch would win her battle in court. I'm very glad she hasn't had to.
Read MoreWhy we don't need a new party-hopping law
We shouldn't use Brendan Horan's political execution as a reason to reintroduce bad law.
Read MoreIt's called covering your backside
David Bain's claim for compensation is starting to look more and more like Charlie Brown's attempt to kick the football.
Read MoreOn privilege, absolute or qualified
The House of Representatives' Privileges Committee is considering whether or not public servants should be given free reign to defame completely innocent individuals to their Ministers. Well, that's an exaggeration ... but read on anyway.
Read MoreThe gays are NOT coming for your churches
The Law Society appears to think that Catholic priests are legally required to solemnise the remarriage of divorced people. And that Baptist pastors must preside over the union of athiests. Or has it got something very wrong?
Read MoreBlogger applies really silly analogy to Red Devils case
Steven Franks thinks Justice Simon France thinks like a terrorist. And not just any terrorist, but an Islamic terrorist ... because we all know that Islamic terrorists are just the worst sort of terrorist to be.
Read MoreIs it illegal to talk about coffee at the GCSB?
Did the person who told Labour that John Key (allegedly) mentioned Kim Dotcom's name at the GCSB really break the law?
Read MoreInvictus
Has the Attorney General (gasp!) made up his own mind about what the NZBORA means?
Read MoreWairarapa Maori own water in Wairarapa lakes
John Key says nobody owns the water. One hundred and sixteen years ago Richard Seddon told Ngati Kahungungu despite gifting Wairarapa lakes to the Crown, they still owned the water and the fish. Two prime ministers, which one is right?
Read MoreJust when I thought I was out, they pull me back in
National's "we know you are going to do bad things" law is now before the House. Can the people of Whanganui now sleep safe in their beds?
Read MoreWhy don't I have a right to know what I have a right to know?
John Banks knows who gave money to his mayoral campaign. We know John Banks knows who gave money to his mayoral campaign. So why don't we know who gave money to John Banks' mayoral campaign?
Read MoreI was wrrr ... wrrrooo ... not right.
It looks like a lot of people owe David Bain an apology - as well as an awful lot of cash. Here's my contribution (to the apologies, anyway).

Yes ... Stewart Murray Wilson is a "Beast". But that doesn't mean you can treat him howsoever you want.
