Another historic first. Skippy* just might become the first US President to recipitate a war before even taking the oath of office. Nice.
[* - Somehow, it just fits as a tag handle for Barry O. Think that’s what I’m going to use from now on to refer to ‘the one’]

Bitchfest Alert
Cactus Kate and MandM's Madeleine are at war. See the comments section for ground zero.
As predicted, 'in a mud fight Cactus Kate might get Madeleine' (Madeleine does appear to be holding her own though), 'but Madeleine'd take out Cactus Kate with one arm tied behind her back in a battle of wits.'
Told you so.

Vote for the Hottest Female Blogger
NotPC did a post recently on the hot female candidates in the election.
I thought it would be equally not PC to do a blog on the hot, right-wing female kiwi bloggers.
After a perusal I have settled on 3 finalists.
In alphabetical order:
BustedBlonde from Roarprawn
Hot, busty and blonde and look at her ride that lobster.
Cactus Kate from Asian Invasion.
Blonde, well made up, fun and self-assured.
Madeleine from MandM
Sexy brunette, sharp analytical mind and confident, (she is the only one who uses her own photo).
[update: I am reminded that Madeleine is now blonde]
So now I leave it to you to vote.
Which of the 3 finalists is the hottest right wing female blogger? Comment below and use the poll to the right.

Is Winston Really an Alien?
Sunny O has a thing for lycra and fishnets (and Winston and Aliens):
Without a shred of evidence - I am certain of this.
Winston will already have been approached by the Dancing with the Stars people. They'd have to give him Rebecca (the others would be too tall). He's probably declined because I can't see him in skin tight fishnet shirts (more to the point, I won't watch that).But I am certain he's been approached.Sas' Magical Mystery Tour: separated at birth: #2
Aliens will fix world's problems - later today.
Relax, it's all going to be fine, a psychic called Blossom Goodchild says so., In fact, she says that benign aliens will "come in love", today, and sort things out for us. Possibly with vibrators. I only hope they're really hot & wearing lycra.Aliens to arrive today - psychic - Stuff.co.nz

Are the Greens Really Green?
Mr Tips makes a very interesting observation.
Can ANYONE provide evidence of a piece of legislation promoted and promulgated through Parliament by the Green party that ACTUALLY deals with the environment or Green causes?
You see, I can't find one. Of course, the Emission's Trading Scheme is a Labour invention.
Coupled with David Farrar's post showing how the Greens would like to ban life in general, one can only come to the following conclusion:
THE GREEN PARTY IS EITHER INCOMPETENT OR THEY ARE LIARS AND ARE REALLY INTERESTED IN PASSING LEGISLATION TO SOOTH THEIR OWN TROUBLED CONSCIENCES.
They cannot be anything else, because as an agent for the environment, they suck... completely.

Do NZ Banks Need a State Guarantee?
Taken from Lost Soul:
ANZ National Bank, the country's biggest bank, reported a profit of NZ$1.16b after tax for the year to 30 September 2008 (http://www.stuff.co.nz/4737543a13.html), down only slightly from the year before.
Westpac NZ reported a profit of NZ$462m, up from NZ$348m, for the 9 months to September 2008 (http://westpac.co.nz/olcontent/olcontent.nsf/AttachmentsByTitle/KIS_PDF_NZ/$FILE/KIS+NZ+Jun+2008.pdf).
BNZ reported a profit of NZ$657m for the same period, up 9% from the year before (http://www.stuff.co.nz/4734788a13.html).ASB reported a profit of NZ$515m, down slightly from the previous year, for the year to 30th June (http://www.asb.co.nz/story8753.aspx?cat=3).
That's 90% of the NZ banking sector covered by those figures.Sound like business as usual? Pretty much. But, if you believe the hype, there is such a financial crisis going on that these big banks can't get by without a Crown guarantee of their deposits and other liabilities.
The Australian parents of the NZ four, the so called four pillars of the Australian banking also remain profitable, the odd hiccup not wiping out profits let alone capital.
While the banks and their creditors have been told they are expected to weather adversity without government assistance, now they are being given assistance when they don't even need it!
During times of financial and banking stress, weaker and worse managed banks fail or are taken over by stronger ones, and funds move to higher quality banks. This is exactly what has happened during this time of financial stress, in text-book fashion, yet the authorities are crying wolf and using the stress as an excuse to regulate, intervene and interfere.
I have a message for the saviours of the financial system: stop bluffing and posturing, and use this as an example of the kind of stress financial institutions are expected to weather without government assistance
