Eerie ... or how great bigoted minds think alike ... come on down, Miranda the Devine and Dame Slap ...

(Above: and more most excellent papery japery here).

Now that the heat has finally broken in Sydney - just a parochial bit of the wider story 'True shocker': February spike in global temperatures stuns scientists (with forced video) - and the pond has finally recovered from what felt like a deep south - deep north if you will - Tennessee Williams' fever, it's taken a momentous, earth-shattering event to distract the pond from its favourite subject matter.

After all, there in the Graudian is a lengthy piece, Record-breaking temperatures 'have robbed the Arctic of its winter' wherein there's a tale about Canadians having to import snow to get a dogsledding race started ...

Please, no more jokes about coals to Newcastle.

And then there was Lateline, at last doing something useful last night by exposing the shambolic, malfunctioning, maladroit, maladministered, maladapted, maladjusted, malapportioned, malfactored, malaligned, malevolent, malicious, malignant, malingering, maltreated, malnourished, malversed malady known as Malware's copper NBN ...

It's all there in Fibre to the node may be a thing of the past for the NBN, which really should have been have been titled FTN should be a thing of the past, but won't be because of Malware's sinful, stupid, obdurate, stubborn pride ...

JASON CLARE, OPPOSITION COMMUNICATIONS SPOKESMAN: The only reason I can think that they're not switching from the copper NBN to this new technology is because it would be humiliating for Malcolm Turnbull to admit that he was wrong and to switch from what they're doing now to this new technology.

Okay, ABC pond reader, the pond forgives Aunty for that recent unforgivable Media Watch, but just remember that a whistleblower at Aunty got spiked for pointing out that the Emperor Malware's clothes had more of a copper than a modern fibre sheen ...no, the pond hasn't forgotten False Balance: ABC coverage of the NBN since September 2013 ...

But none of this matters today - as the heat-relieving rain gently patters and gurgles down the drain and saturates the corroding copper in the ground - because the pond would like to do an epic cut up and paste of the Burroughs' kind, featuring two fierce warriors, Miranda the Devine, and Dame Slap ...

Now the point of the exercise isn't to defend PwC. 

The day the pond starts defending PwC or KPMG or any of the rest of those offensively branded ponces is the day hell will start importing coal - talk to the hand and the native Canadians - but rather it's to marvel at the perfect symmetry of the two raging hellions as they tear up the page ...

For the pond $160 million pissed against the wall, while delaying and obfuscating and setting it up so that ripe abuse of the gay community will gain government sponsorship, is more than enough of a waste of money. But it's loose change for fundamentalist Catholics and the warrior hellions ...

Now the exercise will defeat all but the most hardened warriors. 

The pond understands, and expects many to ask if they might be excused, and step out of the tent for a little while. 

The pond will also understand if they don't return. Why train yourself to endure the heat in the kitchen like a Spartan child in the snow, when the pond itself wilted in the recent Sydney heat. There's only so much to ask of humanity ...

But ask we must ...

Now that's an excellent start, and what's more the Terrorists have paid heed to the pond's suggestion that a huge snap of Miranda the Devine at the start of her columns deterred many a faint-hearted reader wanting to avoid hagiographical, narcissist excess ...

Instead we cop this illustration in the Devine's piece ...

Excellent stuff, though perhaps the slow-moving, slow-thinking Terrorists didn't catch up with the news Greens voted against own gay marriage bill ...

Every Green, every vote, every time, except today, when the surf's up ...

But we are only in the foothills, and on we must trudge ...

Epic stuff, and yet, in those last two gobbets, there's something of an imbalance, what with Dame Slap scoring most of the space ...

Please, allow the pond to redress the balance ... because it's about the only balance and measured thinking you'll find ...

And there you have it ...

That's what happens when bigots dare to dream, and the dream is eerily shared ... as if they're starlings, wifi wired to wheel in the sky in unison ...

Maybe, just maybe, with the power of bigotry, religious fundamentalism and the Murdochians, victory might yet be snatched from the gay agenda working hand in glove with the UN world government climate conspiracy ...

And if they lose, they can be blamed ... "if it's not, they should never have pushed so hard ..."

Dare to dream, my pretties, live in hope my lovelies ... and remember, there's no time like the present to wheel in a Communist playwright ...

"What's next? If a majority of Australians decided at the plebiscite not to support same-sex marriage, will we hear from the commentariat elite that it's easier to rob by setting up a bank than by holding up a bank clerk?"

(And more here).

But enough of the flunkies working for the multinational Chairman, who loved Australia so much he left it for the corporate dime ...

As we've been speaking of Malware and bad politicians and as we mentioned Scott, and the weak have left the tent long ago, here's a Rowe for those who made it to the top of the mountain, and as always more Rowe here ...
