In all the pond's years covering the reptiles, it can't recall a stupider, sillier splash.
The Bolter writing in a compassionate New Age hippie way, with due anxiety and alarm and with overtones of Nimbin, about someone having her growth constrained?
What next, she's not okay, the Bolter's not okay?
So this is where medical marijuana leads us ...
The splash in today's Terror was almost as beguiling ...
Ah the Bolter ... it seems when you fight talk of growth with talk of growth, you end up a narcissist fuckwitted Bolter ...
Meanwhile, the reptiles thought so little of that goose on the right blathering about the left's cultural identity that they didn't bother to identify him, and the pond is delighted to announce that this goose will be the pond's mystery guest later in the day ...
But enough of Terrorist comedy. The pond is a serious blog, full of weighty matters and profound reptile insights, and this day the pond's cup overfloweth because the world's greatest climate scientist has returned to his right and proper Thursday space in the lizard Oz ...
Now it's true that Moorice's days as an eminent climate scientist seem to be behind him. He has had little to say about the recent record-breaking summer ...
No doubt Moorice has many top notch explanations, but for the moment, punters have to head off here for chat about the summer just past... and endure a forced video in the process ...
These days Moorice is still yearning for the onion-munching Icarus who flew too close to the sun and discovered that wax really does melt ... apparently failing to remember that if you flew on the Icarus, you might well end up on a Planet of the Apes ...
The way that Moorice left out knighthoods suggests the old dodderer is slipping even further than the pond suspected, but around this time, the pond thought it needed an alternative view and decided to send for Savva so that there might be a savaging of Moorice by a fellow reptile ...
Now the pond will accept one point of order.
Talk of One Nation lite is clearly inappropriate, when Moorice, by talking of the HATE MEDIA, is really being Trump heavy ...
Oh dear, though the pond's mind boggled that the chook Moorice might either be dubbed little or a fox ... though the pond is pleased that Savva has reverted to a favourite pond description ... barking mad ...
And so to a final flurry from the barking mad ...
Of course a great climate scientist always pays attention to the little details... which is why it's passing strange that the whole idea of calling Malware naive comes from Moorice's suggestion that Malware had the "strong suspicion that the latest devastating Newspoll was delayed until after Abbott's book launch speech."
Talk about arse about. This is Moorice's whole basis for heading up his story with the notion that Malware was being naive?
But, butt billy goat, this is how the reptiles themselves reported the fuss ...
Now in the pond's naive world, that sounds like Malware's saying the onion muncher attended a book launch, and knowing a Newspoll was coming up, let her rip ...
Silly naive pond.
It surely helps explain why Moorice is such an eminent climate scientist, with such an infinite capacity to arrange the facts to suit his science ...
But right there at the end of Moorice's piece, the pond noted a certain faint-hearted giving away of the game in the wording "Irrespective of whether Abbott has a pathway to The Lodge..."
In Moorice's barking mad world howling at anyone to the left of Genghis Khan, that's as close as anyone will get to reading Moorice admitting that in his most recent outing, the onion muncher shot himself in the foot and now is bleeding all over the pathway to The Lodge ...
Well it wouldn't be right not to give Savva a final right of reply, so here's the concluding gobbet ...
Indeed, indeed, Clive Palmer was but a passing dream - how Tony Jones must look back at his pandering interviews and chuckle - and yet there in the lizard Oz, we still have the dinosaur Moorice and he's still yearning for the dinosaur onion-muncher ...
Will that nightmare never end? Will Moorice ever get back to some decent climate science?
As for the savvy Savva making a joke about Malware becoming Pauline in drag?
Surely that's wrong, surely he's become the onion muncher in drag, and surely Moorice is correct in suggesting that all the onion muncher is doing is giving the party a jolly good examination ... look, he's gloving up right now for the job ...
And with that bizarre image, it's time to wrap it up with a Rowe featuring more rectal imagery, and more Rowe here ...
We have commentators who are compromised because of their relationships with politicians. Sava's partner is employed by Malcolm Turnbull.
ReplyDeleteWhat we have nowadays is a corrupted media who are now practicing partisan politics for the benefit of themselves or for corporations such as Murdoch with all his employees bowing and scraping to his Ideology. He as far as I am concerned is totally evil and will pass onto his family an empire that will see and cause major conflict of countries just so they can retain their position in world affairs.
You might almost call it fascism, Anon.
Delete"...Murdoch with all his employees bowing and scraping to his Ideology."
Delete"But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Brother”
Now who said that, I wonder.
Moorice's chops as a psephologist seem to match his mad skills as a climatologist. Unfortunately, "reality has a left wing bias".
ReplyDelete"Over the next few months, similar dramatic changes are likely in Europe. General elections in The Netherlands, France and Italy should see new right-wing governments installed." Of course, it's possible he meant "should" in the sense of "it would be desirable", but I take his "should" to match his "it is likely". In which case, Moorice has made himself something of a hostage to fortune...
The polls for the Dutch election suggest the left wing parties are taking a beating, and the VVD will form a government. But that would not be a new right wing government, but the old one being returned, with enough minor and single issue parties to make governing being like herding cats. But most of those parties are libertarian or economically conservative/socially progressive, and the VVD have had problems with Wilders before, so I would think it unlikely he will play a big part in the VVD coalition. Essentially, think LNP having to govern with the help of, say, NXT (had they won some House of Reps seats).
The French election probably will see the left lose power and the right form government, but it will be a similar coalition of centre-right parties with a good dose of social progressivism. Front National will continue to irrelevantly howl from the cheap seats. In the presidential election, the nominally centrist Emmanuel Macron will win, beating Marine LePen around 65%-35%, off the back of all the eliminated candidates saying "anyone but FN". The technocratic, principles-lite, cult-of-personality Macron is the love-child of Tony Blair and President Trumble.
As to Italy, Moorice is almost certainly wrong. Between their election not being due until next year, and the likely three-cornered race between left, right and neither-left-nor-right libertarians, its pretty hard to conclude they will have a "new right-wing government in the next few months". When it happens, the election will be interesting - M5S are a weird grab-bag of thought bubbles pinched ecumenically from all parts of the political spectrum, and while their support would probably be necessary, its hard to know who would get it. Vaffanculo days are an intriguing idea, but not a basis for government.
I'd bet a shiny penny on him going oh-for-three here, maintaining the enviable record he earned as a climate scientist.
