In which the pond meets the hopeless fizza Chris Mitchell, Order of Lenin hunter ...


It's a simple, but infinitely cruel game to play.

The pond has selected Chris Mitchell, but the game can be played with any of the reptiles. 

It's better if the predictions were made as close to the actual outcome as possible, the better to highlight the fatuous, discordant vision ...


And there you have the problem of a man who routinely confused cheerleading with commentary, a man who indeed confused editing a newspaper with the duties of a cheerleader of the barking mad ... when he might have spent a much more useful life hunting for elusive Orders of Lenin ...

But wait, we are building, slowly, painfully building to the last line, because the comedy only works with the explosive final line ...


So that's what a truly ascendant winner looks like ... and there in a nutshell, is what a loser, dropkick scribbler looks like ...

And yet, and yet, that hagiographic penultimate mention of Abbott tells us where the winner and the dropkick will be heading in the next few months as the rumble in the Tory jungle begins to match the rumble in the UK ...

Repeat viewing of House of Cards anyone? The original and the best of course ...

  1. Oh no.

    Look what Mitchell went and did in the herpetarium. After they waited all these years to get him back, he made a mess in the corner.

    Not to worry, wash it away, and make room for the dog botherer's penetrating analysis of where democracy just got it wrong - possibly to spite he and the other opinion generals at The Australian.

    After all the advice he's given readers for free, they went and did what they wanted and ignored him.

    Oh, bugger.

  2. Just for some semblance of "balance" on these matters, I thought I might quote here what Shaun Carney wrote in The Conversation:

    "The question is: how can someone who has had designs on becoming prime minister for decades, a man of commercial and academic accomplishment, with friends and connections in all corners of power in the land, well-read, well-informed, long untroubled by the need to make any more money, keep making so many unnecessary mistakes?"

    Well that says a lot about a little. But since, as DP has so accurately informed us "Turnbull's career has been a disaster" (or words to that effect), I wonder which of Carney's attributions to Turnbull just aren't true. All of them, perhaps ?
