His off-Broadway one-man-show, entitled “Kazaam II: Shaq-Diesel Slams in the House,” will gross more money than any other off-Broadway show that starred a 320-pound NBA player in modern history. Phil Jackson will resign as head coach and the world will suddenly realize that Jerry Buss and Jerry West are actually Jerry Krause and Jerry Reinsdorf...

The only issue on which the Conservatives are clearly ahead is Europe - the scope of European Union powers, and on preserving the pound rather than going over the Euro. But Europe ranks fifth or sixth in importance on the list of voter concerns, and on crime, the economy, taxes, public services, health and education, Labor is either ahead or more or less even with the Tories. And Blair has promised a referendum on Europe...
