The Little General
They say Labour is down and out, that they'll need a miracle if they are to stand a chance of still governing post-election.
Well, Labour did the best they could and rounded up the services of the Little General.
But forget Labour, forget the polls, the election even, cause Stacey's got much bigger news.

Kiwi halfback of the century Stacey Jones will play for the Warriors next season.Join the club - bring on 2009.Three years after ending his record 238-game career at Mt Smart Stadium, the 32-year-old today revealed he has signed a one-year contract to resume his playing ties with the club.
Jones said an approach by Warriors coach Ivan Cleary and a taste of top-level football with the All Golds last month had rekindled his desire to again play for the Vodafone Warriors.
"It's a huge decision but I'm so excited about what's ahead," Jones said.

Surviving the tempest, 2008 style
We were stricken without power for about 4 hours last night. Luckily we mustered up a few candles before darkness fell, and I was able to head out for supplies - more candles, a dozen beer, chips, chocolate, and toilet paper.
The beer was the new Speights 'natural' brand, Summit. 12 for $20. Tastes like water and has about the same effect. I still have 9, for sale at a good price if anyone is interested.
I wasn't too upset about the power cut, to be honest, as our usage has surely skyrocketed since the arrival of Lil' Red. The washing machine and dryer are seldom off, and at least one and often two oil-fin heaters run 24/7 so the little guy can enjoy the temperatures he demands.
Warriors at home against the Storm today, should be a good match up. Might be a fight or two, too. My heart says the Warriors have a chance, and also that I should try and go to the game. However, Mrs and Lil' Red might have something to say about me abandoning them for the joys of Penrose for a few hours on a Sunday afternoon.
Staying with League, I see SBW has just buggered off to France for a baguette. Nice. Couldn't have happened to a nicer team than the Bulldogs. Or Les Chien de Taureau, or whatever "Bulldogs" might be in French!
Maybe this means the hapless Dragons will have a chance against the Doggies today. But what chance the Warriors versus the Storm? And what chance of DC_Red attending?

When Catholic Robots Attack
Open Sesame
The bloody ref did the Roosters no favours with most of the 50/50s going against them. The disallowed try was pretty dodgy as well, although in saying that there was a clear obstruction, it just wouldn't have made any difference to a try being scored. But if an attacking player smacked somebody in the head on the other side of the field they would disallow the try so what's the difference? They are both not allowed.
Meanwhile if anybody is still watching the rugby I have to ask why? Crusaders v Waratahs was ratshit in the first half and the Crusaders were at their typical best in the second. Highlanders are a team of amateurs playing professionally, the Blues game was just described as "bloody awful" by radio commentator John Drake and none of the other teams are worth mentioning they are that crap. Drink piss and watch American Idol until 9:30 then tune into the league.
