I'm happy to report that the Niuean crises have been averted. Aussie sent Blinky Bill to mediate fairly between the evil wrong doers and America, Blinky was able to find a peaceful solution to the impasse. In the end the Niuean's were most pleased to accept 6 back issues of Spiderman comics for their entire coconut crop. Not only is that in the sprite of mutual cooperation the Niuean are now part of the ANUS alliance. Unfortunately while conducting joint US/Niue naval exercises between the US 7th Fleet and the Nieuean navy in Shanghai Harbor a 20 mega ton nuclear device was detonated when accidentally fired from the USS Stickitupthem into the nearby city. Aussie PM Julie said "The YP people should not take a fence, after all it was only an accident" besides it was thought the YP people would not have noticed the small explosion that followed, but they did. Now Chairman Moo has ordered a retaliatory strike against America's newest alley Niue. While accepting his white hat from pres OB (on a 10 minute flying visit to Niue) The Niue pres is quoted as saying "If it wasn't for bad luck we would have no luck at all!"

I'm happy to report that Chairman Moo of the YP people has stated that he no longer wishes to nuke Niue but instead will nuke an Aussie city located in northern Australia named after a famous British naturalist of the 19th Century. Aussie military experts are at this moment pouring over maps to determine if the chairman is talking about Broome or Port Headland.
The Niueans are about to reap the wonderful benefits of close cooperation with the US. US pres OB has announced that a joint US/Niue nuclear power plant will be constructed on the island. 100% of the power generated will go to the west coast of America, helping to power X-boxes all over LA and San Francisco, fantastic just fantastic. The contract for the construction of the plant has gone to BP Petroleum. A spokesman for American big business J.D Rocketfellow said those who opposed the plant were "dirty low down rats". and BP had been carefully selected due to their impeccable safety record and concern for the environment. The plant will be a clone of the Chernobyl nuclear plant, BP was able to obtain a full set of design plans from the Russkies for 5 bucks, good business sense. Pres OB said the Niueans had not been forgotten, he is making 5 acres of prime agricultural land available in Death Valley Nevada for a Nieueans reservation, a place where the Nieueans can hunt, fish and sail canoes to their hearts content.
