And what does Power's resignation at the upcoming election tell us about the politics of the senior cabinet?
I have not a clue.

Meanwhile, Simon Power signs off. That's a big loss for National.

Cracker: It's a Wonderful Thing, in reply to Robyn Gallagher,
why did National scrap the no-junk-food-in-schools policy? Dicks.
It should be pointed out that Labour had never funded it. It was actually a disastrous policy for low-decile schools without money to go with it.

I note that there's a physicist in Italy who studies radon outgassing as a precursor of earthquakes and had predicted the L'Aquila earthquake albeit a few days too early. He was indicted for 'causing alarm', which is actually a crime in Italy. Not sure what happened to that in the end.

That was a bit harsh of me. I mean it looks like he may have very few regular readers at this stage. All power to him.

Kiwiblog is no longer the NZ blog of note. Steven Gray has now far more daily visitors.
This is pages ago, but I meant to thank you for the link - it's good to have a NZ blogosphere ranking system that is not based on flat out weird formulas, a-la Tumeke. However, it's still a very rough calculation and likely to be misleading in some cases. For instance I really don't think you want to give Steven Gray's supposed mega-readership too much credit. Most of those visitors would be people who Google celebrities, not actual returning readers. How do I know? He has 3 google reader subscribers. Kiwiblog has 1,291. I'm going to go with "Kiwiblog has more readers". And nobody actually reads Steven Gray.

Dude, I've already met you. I've even cooked for you.
That was my stunt double.
