In which the pond Devines greenies, the census and the poodle ...


The pond just had to drop in on the Devine this day to see if she had a word to say about Media Watch, still available here, which gave the Devine an honourable mention in relation to causes of the recent London fire and the search for answers...


Host Paul Barry explained why the Devine and cohorts Akker Dakker and Rowan the Mean were wrong in many ways about many things ...


But that's the Devine, remorselessly cheap, and a fundamentalist Catholic to boot, and a wellspring for bigotry and vitriole ...


... and when it comes to the crunch, she never backs down, preferring to show how ducks can toss water off their backs.

Instead the Devine decided to backpedal about disturbing Census news this day ...

Now first a word about the Census. Just because the pond failed to participate, and the process was a gigantic stuff-up shouldn't hide the reality that the Census data is a good guide to the state of the country.

Most surveys and polls would be lucky to assemble 1,500 people as a way to assess trends in a country of 24.4 million. Many get away with a 1,000 or so, with a plus or minus margin of error around three per cent ...

Naturally the panellists on their ABC's The Drum blathered on about how nothing was but what is not, though the Census is, if nothing else, a much, much bigger sample, and the news was exceptionally good for the 'no religion' mob, while putting the Islamic 'threat' in its proper 2.6% perspective.

The pond would like to use the findings to remind politicians that the 'no religion' mob is now the largest in the country on a tribal brand basis, and that government policies should be adjusted accordingly. How about we start with a non-religious counsellor in every school, so no child need grow up with sexual guilt, or in the case of fundie Islamics, with a distaste for music and dancing?

No cheating by lumping Catholics and angry Anglicans together should be allowed - they reckon each other's brand will see the enemy heading off to an eternity of hell for heresy - and certainly no lumping in of minor religions to boost the total of the religious ... since when have barking mad Catholics shared an affinity with wayward, heretical Hindus, Islamics and Buddhists?

What's the bet that the Devine will start with that very cheat?


That's the best she's got? North Korea and a Muslim caliphate?

And meaningless numbers and beating the Islamics is the aim of it all, as if the brand of superstition matters? It's all about a world domination of delusion?

As for the rest, the Terrorists surely wouldn't wheel in an Asian man in a style of prayer usually associated with Thais ...


They did, they did ...


Um, the pond thought it better throw in that warning, lest it resort to calling the Devine a fuckwit. She might well be a fuckwit, but the pond couldn't possibly comment.

After all, who imagines that the Stalinists, Mao, Pol Pot, etc killed people because they weren't atheist. Stalin moved around huge bunches of people to remove any threat to his leadership and to discombombulate the country. Mao starved millions to death through singular agricultural and structural incompetence ...(here, outside the NYRB paywall for the moment). 

Sure, they happily persecuted the religious, but only so they might convert to a new faith, leader worship ... of the kind we currently see with the Donald ...

Well if you can get the geese to cackle about Christ, Satan and hell, you can surely get them cackling about Stalin, Mao and the Donald ...

As for blaming Islamist terrorism for giving all religions a bad name, that's on a par with the Devine's London fire explanations, modestly leaving out as it does, the behaviour of the Xian churches in relation to pedophilia and the exploitation of children within their care. If that's what god-fearing people do while doing an uncle Ernie, so much for the the usefulness of fearing Her ...

The Catholics don't need Islamic help to give the Catholic church a bad name.

And now it's back to persecuting the wicked, Devine style ...


Yes, like all the other reptiles this day, the Devine has the poodle in her sights, while the sniping, white-anting, undermining, wrecking onion muncher goes on his carefree way, determined to bring Malware down ...

Sssh, don't mention the climate denialist elephant in the room, the clock is ticking down on the poodle and it's five to midnight.


You only have to listen to the Devine in her favourite milieu, the inner city reptile bunker surrounded by bearded, tatted, barista-loving 'leets in Surry Hills .. to understand that the most notable thing to observe about her is he way that, like the onion muncher, she's a good hater ...

The onion muncher is a perfect example of the hater in political action. He'd rather destroy Malware and the Liberal party than have his nemesis lead it, or even worse, be successful ... 

The Devine is a perfect example of the Murdochian scribbler hater. Any wet fop is likely to be taken down, and never mind her routine scribbling about the way men are being undermined by feminists.

Like the onion muncher in his new guise as a roaming Malware destructobot, the Devine has a similar disdain for anyone who remotely sounds moderate on occasions, especially if they're as hapless and as foolish as a poodle given to making Pooh sound like a bear with very big brain, able to handle long words ...


Um, that chappie calling another unchappie the most untrustworthy person he's ever met in this business is the same chappie who upped and left the party under which name he was elected and rather than resign the position so obtained, he stayed on fraudulently to benefit his own and his new party's position, rather than honourably resigning and chancing his arm at the next election ...

In the old days, he would have been called a rat, and not a water rat at that, just a common or garden Billy Hughes style rat fink ...

The pond holds no candle for the poodle, but this is the character witness sent in to assassinate him? A narcissist with no principles?


Oh it's going to take weeks and weeks for the pond to exorcise that image and put it in the memory dump bin ...

And now back to the Devine taking aim at another narcissist ...


Oh the selfie, the Malware selfie ...

And so we learn that in the Devine's simplistic, simpleton world, all would be well if the onion muncher had only stayed with the bigoted fundie Cory ... because an even bigger shift to the barking mad fundie right is just what this country needs, no matter what the Census suggests might be the new reality ...


So it's farewell pudel, from Miranda the Devine with love ...


... though as baseball bats were mentioned - it's not just the voters, the AEC might take a view - perhaps this is the movie the Devine was thinking of ...


Oh yes, there's another image the pond will find it hard to remove from the data bank - the Devine saying farewell to the pudel as if she was channeling big Al ...




And so to another Rowe, with everything fixed, and more good fixing available here ...

  1. Am I the only one who is enjoying watching the Liberals tear themselves apart over gay marriage? After all they were the ones to make it a wedge issue during the Howard government and now it is biting them on the arse.

    1. Yeah, it's almost like the Right has contracted a bad case of 'mad lemming psychosis'* the way they're all rushing to leap into oblivion. Very strange indeed - it used to be the Left that mostly suffered that kind of madness.

      * yair, I am aware that lemmings don't really rush over cliffs like the Disney fake movie tried to convince us. Hmmm, 'fake movies' - are they anything like 'fake news' ?

  2. The Devine is truly the epitome of hate, but you can tell she is eating a shit sandwich every morning.... sooo pleasing.
    There is a cruel corner of my mind that hopes that the fool lives to 95, sitting in a poorly air conditioned nursing home, in a diaper, with nothing to read but Murdoch rags. Preferably with very dark skinned bearded nursing aides. Hmm..lovely!

    Nice to see the John Menadue article getting a bit of traction over at the Gruadian, along side a current piece from the Intercept.

    Interesting to see the similarity in the MO of Fox/Newscorpse and Tigerswan.
