June at NOT PC: A Bain in the neck

A definite theme in popular posts here this month,measured by the fact that searches for David Bain and Julian Pistorius were nearly equal.
A slight drop in reader numbers – perhaps because post-Mt Albert the focus was off politics, which this blog does, and onto scandal, which it doesn’t – yet yet while reader numbers were down slightly local Alexa numbers were up. Slightly. I’ll leave that as an exercise for readers, and for blog stat compilers who rely on them, to work out what that means.
And poor David Slack . . .

Top ten posts for June:

• David Bain jokes
  Never discount basic populism for boosting your visitor numbers. But fear not, I don’t plan on posting Michael Jackson jokes any time soon. :-)
• David Bain
  One case where the usual rules of “beyond reasonable doubt” don’t apply.
• Get your Neelam Choudary fix elsewhere
  Strange how telling people to go elsewhere only invites them in.
• Labour still campaigning on election day
  Note to self; must chase this up.
• Election disappointment
  Yes, it was, wasn’t it.
• LIBERTARIAN SUS: Don’t bank on it
  Well, that got you talking, didn’t it.
• Fieldays 2009: It's going to be fun!
  And wasn’t it just! We spend four days inviting everyone who passed the National Party stand to call in and ask what happened to their tax cuts. And John Key apologises a week later – and says they will be back.
• How does it feel?
  So just how did you feel when Rodney Hide and Roger Douglas stood and applauded a budget that reneged on promises of tax cuts?
• ‘Third of May’ - Francisco Goya
  No one paints political horror better than Goya. And nowhere, at present, do they do it better than Tehran.
• Yaron Brook tells Republicans why they've failed
  You’ll never run out of material telling Republicans why they’ve failed. But how about asking them to commit to a new path?
