In which petulant Peta and Akker Dakker bash the Malware Piñata

Malware has just been snapped strutting the stage with some of the world's most important political leaders, at the heights of their dizzying careers, and with only eyes and ears for him ...

But that hasn't stopped the mealy-mouthed knockers, doom and neigh sayers back home indulging in ritual Malware bashing ... with petulant Peta front and centre in this day's Terror ...

Forget the onion muncher?!

This seems a strange injunction, because the one thing that the onion muncher doesn't want is to be forgotten ... indeed, the onion muncher each day makes sure that he and his fervent climate denialism can't be forgotten ...

Now the pond mocks the eastern suburbs as much as the average loon, but it's hard to imagine that all of the flats in Bondi Junction are full of the indulgent rich ... (there's a pdf of the electoral map here).

Even worse, beyond the usual Peta whiff of sour vinegary grapes, there's more than a hint of class warfare.

Badmouth Toorak as a haven for rich toffs, and the Bolter and the HUN would be up in arms. 

Indeed in Sydney, the Terror takes a very severe attitude to class warfare ...

Never mind, it's on with petulant Peta as she launches a classic class-war scare campaign against the wicked Malware ...

It doesn't take much decoding to work out the climate denialism at the heart of petulant Peta's piece, matched by the Terror's trotting out of the usual image of dangerous greenie activists doing their dastardly worse ...

There's also more of coulda, woulda, shoulda, as petulant Peta seems to be saying that she and the onion muncher got it wrong, and really should have been open and honest about their climate denialism these past fifteen years ...

Strange, wasn't there going to be five hundred bucks off power bills, and a land of milk and honey and knighthoods as a result of their time in power?

How long will petulant Peta, the onion muncher and the rest of the Murdochian climate denialist mob keep trotting out guff about dinkum Oz coal? 

How many times will the pond have to read about deep scepticism about "climate theology" ... when in reality petulant Peta has about the same knowledge of science as the onion muncher eating flesh and blood, and chanting around the transubstantive altar in the dark cave of bloody-minded, festering ignorance.

How long have you got? Set aside a hundred years or so, but also spare a moment for a joke about Malware as an agile innovator, with more Pope here (and time enough for him to return from whatever other papal business he's been doing).

Meanwhile, Akker Dakker has been busy in the Terror this day too, though he's moved his metaphors from toff bashing to turkey stuffing ...

Oh and the pond thought it should honour that 'harden the fuck up' contribution from the empathetic Miranda the Devine before moving on to snorting a little of the white powder with Piers ...

Well that's it. The fat owl of the remove has spoken ... though funnily enough the Terror has been down the turkey path before ...

And by golly that's not a bad match for the illustration accompanying the fat owl of the remove's story ...

Ah Godwin, he never gets old, not when celebrating a Labor-lite socialist pinko silver bullet pervert...

Now there's nothing in the fat owl's rant that requires exposition or expansion, while about the only thing that could be worse than showing the dastardly greenie activist agenda at this moment would be a snap linking Malware with former Chairman Rudd and "born to run" Swannie ...

No doubt Akker Dakker intended his question to spur on the reader, but anyone with half a clue about Akker Dakker knows it's a rhetorical device. The only way the downward spiral of this spin cycle could be reversed is if Malware crashes and burns like a stuffed turkey in an Xmas hamper ...

Besides, the pond already had a cartoon to hand which provided the answer ...

Oh dear, that's unfair. What Akker Dakker was working himself up to saying was either metaphysical or a thugby league coach in action:

Think the onion muncher, feel the onion muncher ...

Be the onion muncher ...

Frankly you'd have to be a bit of a sucker to follow Akker Dakker's suggestions ... the moderates in control in NSW are terrified that with a bit of branch stacking ("branch building" if you will), they might have to deal with dozens of onion munchers racing about running the party, and making Genghis Khan seem like a genuinely moderate Liberal candidate ... (The Conversation here).

Like every other aspect of Liberal government, be it useful genuine internal reform or climate science, it's become part of the proxy war ..

How long will the war go on? How long have you got? 

The pond suggests setting aside a hundred years or so. Here's Joe Aston in the AFR back in October 2016 ...

... which just leaves room for a cartoon about that other theological war ...
