Hugh Lambert has predicted 97 seats to Labor and the claims (yet again)_ that the polls do not lie. Newspapers in Sydney will be interesting tomorrow as a businessman, annoyed that Howard "doesn't get" climate change and the Kyoto Protocol is spending $200 000 on full page ads urging a vote against him.

Almost on the radar is the tragic story of how the Australian Department of Immigration detained a man wrongfully for five years. Tony Burke, the best person Federal Labor has had for years in the Shadow Immigration role rightly wants a Royal Commission. The Ombudsman says there's another 200 similar cases.

Legend of the Ainu Nezumi game went off really well last Sunday; better than expected, and I consider myself a good GM. I had the opportunity to playtest some new rules which seemed to work quite well. Last Saturday caseopaya, imajica_lj and I went to see La Vie En Rose. It has its moments, but was disappointing overall. The Goddard-like jump-cuts detracted rather than enhanced and there were some serious legendary absences from the biography (e.g., Piaf's birth, her role in POW escapes, the prohibition on her receiving a Catholic funeral).

Did you hear that Dick Cheney had to be smuggled out of France recently to avoid being arrested by gendarmes for war crimes?

I didn't know about Cheney, but Rumsfield certainly did...

Ah, maybe it was Rumsfield I was thinking of, thanks!

Kissinger is in a similar situation. He's wanted throughout Europe, Latin America and parts of South East Asia for war crimes.
