(Above: and more Rowe here).
Please, everybody relax.
The smiling, smirking, agile assassin has gone abroad and the country is in a safe pair of hands.
The lad was in his finest form last night ... including this witty retort to the likes of Rowe and their ill-considered caricaturing of the pigs roaming the corporate world ...
Some cruel, twittering wag summarised that line about the 'only people who are beneficiaries of a royal commission being solicitors' this way ...
As if the dear sweet rustic bumpkin was supposed to hold in mind the way he'd enthusiastically endorsed a previous royal commission, and then had to mumble about "that's another question", having remembered that trashing royal commissions in general might not be such a good idea ...
Never mind, today is one of those days where it all comes together for the pond.
As the pond predicted a little while ago, the time was right for the return of Moorice.
Sure he'd turned up on the ABC to note grimly that Mr Abbott was a very effective campaigner, but it remains to be seen how effective a campaigner Mr Turnbull is, and to mourn the way Abbott voters had seen their policies overturned or shunned, but this was a voice crying in the forlorn cardigan- and leftist-saturated wilderness.
Moorice's natural home is amongst his own kind, the lizards of Oz:

Now there will be pedants who think this is a lesser outing, more Zechariah or Psalms than Isaiah, but any call for strong leadership from Moorice is inclined to leave the pond in tears.
He really is Moorice the Baptist, serving in the same noble way as John the Baptist did, urging the return of the Messiah ...
Sadly the pond has had to truncate Moorice's message, because many other pleasures await, and besides it can be easily shortened.
You see, everything is misery, despair, wailing, sackcloth and ashes, universal unhappiness, and a dismal, bleak future, with ruination the only possibility.

Now, read on ...
Damn you, benevolent smirking, smarmy uncle.
But who is the "someone" with the will, tenacity and support to become a strong man, providing the strong leadership the country demands, and who will restore Moorice to his rightful place as senior business advisor, though truth to tell, the benevolent uncle never had the courage to terminate him ... at least if you live in a land called delusion?

Did you even need to ask?
Restore the universe to its right order!
Honour the Messiah and Moorice the Baptist ...
Honour the Messiah and Moorice the Baptist ...
Moving right along - today there are many blessings - the pond was astonished and delighted to realise that today was also Dame Slap day, and she too was harping on the same theme ...
Ah, that Brian, he really is just a naughty boy ...
Conviction and humility? Wash that Malware man's mouth with soap.
Now let us wallow in nostalgia and memories, oh the memories ...

Could it get any sharper or crueller or more dismissive?
Talk about those vain MAMILs, laden with lycra, strutting and posing like peacocks ...

Oh wait, the pond got that entirely wrong.
That's the fearless leader of the opposition and his fearless deputy.
We should be talking about the false messiah, the eastern suburbs fop and ponce ...

Please, Dame Slap, explain leadership to this man ... show him how to walk in the path of Ronnie Raygun and little John, blessed be their nostalgic names ...
Now please, note, along with the talk of delusions of grandeur and the Ruddster revenant, infesting the Liberal party like that ancient and diabolic spiritual being Azazel in the Fallen, eternally transmigrating at will between unwitting and susceptible human souls ... please note, since we're talking of curious gaps and dogs that didn't bark in Sherlock Holmes, this curious phrasing by Dame Slap ...
After seven disastrous years under Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard and the removal of Tony Abbott ...
Note that it's not After seven disastrous years under Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard and Tony Abbott ...
Notice the gap?
This is Dame Slap issuing a warning to a wretched, disobedient student with delusions of grandeur.
If he doesn't punish the poor, the helpless, the weak and the sick, and slash and burn the health and education systems of this country in the budget coming up soon, she will join the delusionals in full cry ... and perhaps, perhaps, that rough beast will strut towards Canberra again ... and it won't be Kevin Andrews, it will be the Messiah ...

What to do, what to do?
Well that new five dollar note finally proved there was some point to it ...
It's enabled Pope to offer Malware a PR solution, and more Pope here ...
Newman has a hide, talking about 'compelling evidence'. What would he know?
ReplyDeleteWouldn't KNOW shit from snow but he has faith.
DeleteMuch more convenient.
I don't get it. They keep ranting on about J W Howard as though he is/was some kind of miniature superman when he was a gross failure - how often does a PM do so bloody well that in the first election after his government had obtained and held control of both houses he, and his party not only lose office, but he personally is voted out of a massively secure Liberal electorate.
ReplyDeleteNow I know the Yanqui Wingnuts obsess about how wonderful Ronnie Raygun was, but at least Ronnie didn't do anything much that required massive amnesia ... well, yes, actually just about everything he did fits that description, it's just that the Yanquis forgive him everything.
But for Howard's huge gaff, some definite memory suppression is required. And here's just a bit of advice from Scientific German ... err, I mean Scientific American ( http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/streams-of-consciousness/8-ways-to-forget-your-troubles/ ):
"I’ll borrow from the French verb, oublier, “to forget,” and call my tips on forgetting “oublionics” for want of a term with fewer syllables. Whatever you want to call them, here are tips for forgetting your troubles along with the random clutter piling up in your brain.
Shove the thought away. When you are reminded of something you don’t want to think about, just refuse to go there. Let your mind go blank rather than allowing it to make the connection. Sound ridiculously simple? Research shows that many, if not most, of us can will ourselves to forget."
(And 7 more tips follow, but the above was the main one).
So, it really is so simple that even untutored wingnuts can do it. Virtually the whole membership of the Liberal and National Parties illustrates the truth of that.
I don't think the practice is the COALition parties' alone. Or perhaps the neoliberals of the Left adhere to a version of young Wittgenstein's concluding practice: whereof we cannot speak thereof we must not say, eh?
ReplyDeleteProbably not just a COALition thing, Anony, but the wingnuts are certainly very proficient at it. And they definitely have the most effective memory holes.
DeleteWitty's words are indubitably very sensible, but they don't seem to actually inhibit very many, do they ?
