In which the pond embarks on a bleeding obvious Thursday ...


What, no goats? No exploding volcano?

A baleful, glaring oscillating fan instead, with a rather dubiously kitted power board?

No doubt Rowe felt the need for a little variety, and more 'all sorts' are available here, but today is bleeding obvious day at the pond, and who better to introduce the theme than the savvy Savva?



True enough, given that Comrade Bill is, on his own, a singularly awkward lump of stodge, but the pond is willing to bet that nowhere in the piece will the savvy Savva note the singular capacity for failure of Malware ... or the way his willingness to carry out the orders of the onion muncher damaged his status and his political standing ...

Only a completely wretched doofus of the first water would respond this way ...


We rolled out a turkey, and now we expect to hear a lot more gobbling?

Yep ...

“It is a bit like television. If you’ve got hardly any viewers, you won’t get a lot of complaints,” he told the Nine Network. “[Customers] are rolling on and around 30,000 to 40,000 a week. Clearly you are going to get more complaints.”

Yep, totally tone deaf, and you can't pin that on the onion muncher, nor can Malware now pin the NBN on the onion muncher.

Sure he was only carrying out orders, sure it was the onion muncher that told him to destroy the NBN, but they hung plenty at Nuremberg for following orders ...

But enough of the Godwin's Law swear jar, let's see how the savvy Savva seeks to deflect and save  her man ...


Uh huh ...

Of course Malware is also doing a lot of their work for them. 

Old spineless jellyback never tackles the onion muncher, and panders to the hard right in his party, and gets himself tied up in all sorts of dubious policies to please them, and the result provides a barrel of apples for Comrade Bill and his team to dunk away at ...

But you won't read any of this in the savvy Savva ... instead, rich irony of ironies, she turns to covert Labor people to explain the Liberal situation ...


Uh huh. Of course that could have been written:

"Take energy, which is a difficult issue for the climate science denying, coal living hard right side of politics. Malware has succeeded in making it unclear what the government's position is. Didn't he once accept the science? Wasn't coal on the way out? Weren't marketplace mechanisms the way forward? Didn't renewables deserve their place in the sun? It should be a great issue for them, a marketplace driven renewable way forward to drive down prices and at the same time save the world, and yet Malware pandered to the hard right and the coal lovers and the climate deniers and above all the onion muncher and so the spineless old jellyback destroyed it ..."

But you won't find any of that in the savvy Savva. Instead she'll keep listening to the Comrade Bill whisperer, dumping a big surf on the onion muncher ...


Still they dream that the onion muncher will change his ways?

Still they hope for his return to the fold?

All sorts of rewards could follow, beginning with the restoration of respect, but ending with a seat in the cabinet?

This is beyond dreaming, this is a kind of madness ...

Every time the pond reads the savvy Savva, reluctantly it's herded in the direction of Comrade Bill, and away from the big game hunters ...


More Wilcox here, and so to a short, revealing bonus from the bouffant one ...

You see, the bouffant one comes at the problem from a different angle, one of trepidation, fear and loathing, because he knows the skill set of the team of sellers ...


Of course the bouffant one poignantly suggests that finally we have a workable climate policy, but that's a bit like suggesting that we have a working NBN made out of multi-nodal copper and cabbage string and sealing wax ...



The seat might be getting a little hot, but don't you worry about that, and pigs might have wings, but Malware's NBN and energy policies have not, and so it becomes a tricky business selling them to a once bitten, twice shy, mad as hell punter ...


Indeed, indeed, and the reptiles can keep talking up coal as the future, and talking down renewable energy, and Malware can keep pandering to this sort of climate science denying hard right element, and look, there comes Comrade Bill ...

Now, all the pond needs for a bleeding obvious Thursday is a few goats and perhaps a volcano god ...


That'll do flying pig, that'll do ...
