Gawd. I honestly tried to read the whole thing, but nup. How do you do it? (nb: fairly rhetorical question)
Several op-ed writers need comments below their pieces, so the readers can fact check their articles for them – and refute them if necessary. The constant use of “majority” in his article neatly sidesteps the fact that the election in the US was 51% vs 49%. So slim-majority would be a more accurate use of language.

Hendo to the power of less
As usual, I’m having to backstop Rob Corr. Lets face it, there’s just too much material in a Henderson piece for one blogger to keep on top of. In this case, there’s just one glaring error I’d like to draw attention to.
Last week’s result in…
Michael Moore! A millionaire!
Just as the poorly played several chords inspired a thousand bands, it is clear that Hendo is the Sex Pistols of political writing.

In a breathtaking leap of logic, Gerard Henderson pokes his head out of the “Sydney Institute” (you know the one, just down the street from the Ponds Institute),
