Another Caterist Tuesday, and this time it's fine bien pensant bollocks about Bullock ...

As usual, it would be remiss of the pond not to admire the Caterists parading in their finery this Tuesday ...

There are few enough pleasures left in life, and this surely is a special treat, at least for those fascinated by the banality of weevils...

Ah yes, it's been only a matter of days since we last had an exegesis explaining how a failure to tolerate the intolerant would be a sign of intolerance ...

Now pandering to trendy causes is a spiffing start - who gives a flying fuck at the mind-boggling notion that gays might be human - but will bien pensant score a mention?

Now the pond has always thought of Joe as a fuckwit of the first water, not least for his pre-election apology which you can read in full at the ABC here (but not watch the expired video ...)

Bullock is the sort of right-wing union hack and conservative futtock - you can Greg Hunt him here - who has helped bring the ALP into disrepute through factional games.

His willingness to describe members of the ALP as mad shows exactly why he was one of the loopier politicians doing the rounds.

He was so unloved by the electorate at large that in 1994 he lost a Labor state seat, thereby helping bring down Ian Taylor.

To have the Caterists shedding tears confirms to the pond that the sooner Bullock disappears back into his right wing trade union games, the better for everyone ...

Now let's get back to the tear shedding because the pond still has hopes that bien pensant might score a mention ...

Well bien pensant didn't make the cut, but still, weird leftie trend isn't bad, along with human-rightsy moral vanity, because giving a flying fuck about human rights is just so fucking weird in Caterist Bullocky land ...

And there was the satisfying slagging off of the pond's home suburb of Newtown, though the pond would have preferred Fitzroy, rather than Northcote, being held up as the Melbourne suburb where weird people live ... not least because the pond once lived in Fitzroy, and enjoyed the food poisoning routinely available at Marios. Ah Brunswick Street and the junkies of Smith street, how the pond misses you ...

And as for that stuff about electability, the irony rolled down the theatre floor with the Jaffas, Joe having proven to be unelectable and only finding a way into parliament by rolling a colleague and getting himself at the top of the ALP senate team, so that he might become part of that unrepresentative swill ...

What a tiresome man he was, and how weird are the Caterists ...

Not that the pond minds that the Caterists preferred to live in inner Sydney, but more the way that the Caterists like to hint that they have much in common with the common-or-garden Joes and Josies, and working stiffs ... when Caterists on the whole appear to be self-serving bears of little brain happily living a tidy life thanks to generous taxpayer grants ...

But at least this outing has served a useful purpose, which is to allow the pond to run a relevant Pope cartoon - more Pope here - and a handy twitter meme ...
