In which the pond celebrates Dame Slap celebrating illiberal values ...

The pond shed a tear this morning.

There, under the blessing of Ming and little Johnny, the onion muncher and Malware came together in peace and harmony. Which way, the sign asked, and the answer came, forward under the blessed Ming ...

And lo this day, Dame Slap felt so moved that she advanced from Wednesday to Tuesday to celebrate the holy occasion (though sad to say the image of unity quickly disappeared from the top of the digital page).

Indeed, indeed. The pond, inspired by assorted reptiles, has been running this of late, and can't get enough of it ...

There, that sets the mood for talk of Ming the Merciless and his noble values ...

Oh indeed, indeed ... a plague, a pox on false values ...

Sorry, the pond got quite distracted ... so many great values, celebrated by so many cartoonists, so little time ...

Indeed, indeed.

Please allow the pond to run a check on the debasing of language and the corrupting of culture and insidious false values...

Uh huh.

By the pond's humble count of the meaning of words, Dame Slap stands for:

The true god of unfairness.

The true god of insularity, singularity, monoculture, and associated phobias, bigotries and prejudices.

The true god of ABC bashing.

The true god of gender, sexuality, skin colour and religious intolerance, along with the many splendid phobias, prejudices and bigotries such intolerance can produce...

And while rejecting the false god of tolerance, let us celebrate the true god of intolerance, hatred, fear and loathing and foaming frenzies, never forgetting the pleasures of well-earned and diligent homophobia ... 

Anyone who disagrees with any of this is surely a bigot ...

By golly, these values are fun ...

What other values can Dame Slap remind us of?

Ah, the Middle East, home of some of Ming's greatest policy successes ...

Naughty university students ... how dare they exercise free speech when solemn platitudes and rigorous prejudices are what's required ...

The rest of that childish Suez poem here, and as we're speaking of poems, once again the pond must protest that idle use of Tennyson, for this is how that shocking poem begins ...

Idle kings, unequal laws, savage race? A bringer of new things and new ideas and new experiences?

Why that hardly sounds like Liberals lost in Australia, and the rest of the poem here ...

Surely the time has come to adopt the pond's favourite as the new Liberal party song ...

Ah yes, that's more like it. The legacy of Ming the Merciless and little Johnny ... talk about values to celebrate ...
