In which not all columnists are equal, and cookie monsters carrying Oreos win the day ...


Every so often, the reptiles come along with columns so full of astonishing insights that the pond feels immensely humbled ... and yet somehow strangely proud, and even exalted ...

This - please maestro, a Churchillian voice - is one of those days ...

Now sceptics and cynics might suggest that we have gone there before, and for at least umpteen, and counting, times ...


But surely that wise old childish saw remains true to this very day. If you say something umpteen times, over and over - and then over again -by magic, it becomes true ...

Lo, look at the immortal Donners, back in 2011, saying it ...


Never mind the pagan Romans and the Greeks, feel the power of the goat and the camel herders ...

Now there will be some who will be content to stray off, to roam, with Donners here ...
But while much has been written, much remains to be read, and others will boldly march on into Oreo territory, saying it yet again ...


It must be true.

And how modest and non-confrontational of the Oreo not to mention the way the fiendish UN is covertly using climate science to introduce world government.

As for the Ruskis helping her good buddy, comrade Donald, get elected, fear not, this has nothing to do with filthy commie perverted swine, it's just one Tsar doing a good deed for the new Tsar on the block.

And now it's on with the paranoia, possibly the chief contribution to world order that the Oreo has made ...


Now forgive the pond if it finds something truly weird in that line "In the same week, a German politician called Angela Merkel" ....

Must we now doubt her actual name? Is somebody calling her Angela Merkel, but only as a front, a cover, a ploy?

Surely it would have been simpler to write "In the same week, Angela Merkel" or "In the same week, current German chancellor Angela Merkel" ...

But there are vaster forces, infinite trickery, at work here. She is called Angela Merkel, but is that her name? Surely, in view of her policies, her real name is whore of Babylon betrayer of western Judeo-Christian values ... and they call her Angela Merkel to hide this important fact.

Now there are many other vital clues and important hints in this Oreo, and the pond has done its own investigative journalism as a reward for diligent readers.

Those who dwell in the inner west may stroll down King street and find a feast of Oreos ...


See, here is the name of the confection ...


The cookie monster!?

Is there some conspiracy of commies, deviates, perverts and Islamics in the inner west attempting to traduce the noble Oreo? Or is this the finest flowering of western civilisation?

The pond merely reports, and others may decide, because we must quickly move on - so much to read, so little time - to the thoughts of desiccated Henry "hole in the bucket" Ergas ...


Now it should be understood that in a post-Trumpian world, the Trumpians are full of facts and certainly not of the fictional ANSTO kind, whereas western European, once understood as the font of goat and camel heerding western civilisation, but now in ruin, is the font of fiction.

Thus armed, the reader is ready for the world of the desiccated coconut man ...


Oh to be able to envision the world as the desiccated coconut man does, where discontent takes the form of racism and authoritarianism in Europe, but certainly not in the United States in the form of the Donald ...

Can we have a sieg heil and some southern fries with that?


But wait, there's more ...


As Henry staggers to a close, we may come to envy those who relish a decent Oreo cookie monster ... so that, Canute-like, we may stop the tide, change its course and make it flow in entirely a different direction ... in the manner of a Henry or an Oreo ...

And now, let us marvel at the infinite superiority of western policy-making practices, thanks to Wilcox, and more such cartoons here ...

  1. DP - I invite you to worship at the Church of the Apathetic Agnostic. To quote the master, Joseph Campbell...

    Shall I worship Zarathustra
    just the way we use ta?
    Be a Zarathustra Booster
    What a thing to be!

    Or maybe Aphrodite
    She’s beautiful but flighty
    and doesn’t wear a nighty,[1]
    now there’s a sight to see.

    Or perhaps I’ll choose Apollo
    a decent god to follow
    I’d grovel and I’d wallow
    Brought low on bended knee.

    Elohim or Yahweh?
    Allah or the highway?
    I think I’ll just go my way.
    That’s good enough for me.

    Does the Oreo know whom the days of the week are named after, or the months, or why we glorify Saturn on December 25th? Or where our numbers come from? (damn those evil arabic numerals)

    Thought not.

  2. yes I can see all around me how those civilized values that Jesus lived by are such a yuge part of our neo-liberal individualist selfish and greedy way of life. Every fuckin day I see my neighbours helping the less fortunate , feeding the multitudes with their last dollar, overturning the tables of the money grubbers in the temples and being modest and humble.

  3. Yes we are indeed superior.
    We are the first "culture" that has created the means, and the there-is-no-other-way "cultural" and political imperative for destroying all of Earthkind.

    The Chump has put together a team of psychotic denizens who will definitely speed up the process of trashing both human culture and the biosphere too - as pictured here:
    www.dartmouth.edu/~spanmod/mural/panel21.html

    Meanwhile all of the "conservative" talking heads here in the land of Oz think that the Chump's victory is a more than wonderful opportunity for the advancement of USA and Western culture.
