Not PC stats for February … still looking for Alaskans

Waitangi month, i.e., February, saw a gratifying rebuilding from the summer holiday month that was January -- which while very good for bloggers and blog readers, was very bad indeed for blog stats. And as the “first-hundred days” programme of the Key Government eases to a close with clear evidence that National MPs really were born to be mild, it also disclosed that handling the economic crisis hadn’t really been on anyone’s election agenda.
