Blog name change

I thought I'd cut down my blog title by removing the word "alternative" to make it less of a mouthful. I originally put the word "alternative" in, to make my blog stand out a bit, and to distinguish it from any other NZ blogs that might be have the world conservative in the title.

However, after 10 months of blogging I haven't come across any other NZ blogs with a traditional/empirical conservative slant.

Taking that into account, I am deciding to claim the term "conservative" for myself before any cheeky kiwi neocons think about grabbing it.

Heh, way to stake out the territory, preempting a neocon imposter. They've done quite the hijacking job stateside--I routinetly talk to people somewhere on the left or liberal-right of the political spectrum who refer to the Weekly Standard as a leading conservative publication.

thanks, the word conservative isn't commonly used here much at the moment, but in politics generally is it obviously a very common one that comes up on search engines alot.

I also use the conservative blue colour to further annoy the fashionable right.
