In which the pond does dinkum coal yet again with Akker Dakker and petulant Peta ...

And so to the Terror's Sunday second eleven ...

Sure, they sometimes wheel out Akker Dakker and petulant Peta during the day, but the early morning belongs to Miranda the Devine ...

One of the reasons is that the Devine is a reliable hate fest of saucy doubts and fears, while Peta and the Akker often sing from the same tedious song sheet ... and while the pond is well over the SSM matter, it's even more inclined to shriek loudly when it hears another siren reptile love song for coal ...

This also leads the pond into deep perversity and a desire to do simple cuts and pastes, just to see what might emerge ...

Here's a likely candidate ...

Every so often Alan Kohler turns up in the lizard Oz.

It's possible he only does it because it teases, but anything that prods and provokes the reptiles makes the pond clap hands and sign ... and this time he's tweaking the Stalinists about their latest five year government plan for coal. Well what else to call the federal government's plans for coal but Stalinism?

So why not put the choleric Kohler up against Peta in a petulant grudge match?

Now "green religion zealots" is a fine reductionist term, up there with the best use of language deployed by expert climate scientists, and it will see Kohler struggling to match petulant Peta's mastery ...

Hmm, that seems a tad unfair, mentioning all that arcane history when petulant Peta was at the heart of one of the worst federal governments in recent history ... or perhaps all the way back to Federation ... with a truly bizarre understanding of climate science and energy policies to match ...

With this sort of proven expertise, no doubt Peta can petulantly smack away this choleric gadfly ...

Luckily the choleric Kohler is on hand to help petulant Peta with reminders of policy of yore ...

Or as we'd say in Tamworth, oopsie whoopsie doopsie poopsie ...

How unfair of the choleric Kohler to attack the onion muncher, and thereby petulant Peta, and her with just one last gobbet to set matters right ...

Oh indeed, dinkum Aussie coal, clean as clean can be, oi, oi, oi. 

Surely the Kohler will have no comeback on that ... unless he's a treacherous frog-lover wandering off to Paris ...

Hmmm, time for a Moir cartoon, with a reminder that more can be found via the entrepreneurial Moir here ...

Now the pond can hear anxious murmurs.

What of the fat owl of the remove? Has the pond abandoned, and forsaken the fat owl just because the plump old bigot is shouting at the same clouds as petulant Peta?

Of course not ...

... though the pond does accept and agree that paying attention to the fat owl also makes for an extraordinarily long and tedious read ...

But this is part of the business plan of both the Terror and the pond. How soon before people feel the need to fork out for Akker Dakker-cancelling headphones?

Well the pond has decided to provide a few in-flight cartoons as a distraction, but if anyone wants to get off the plane, just remember to pound on the pilots' door and demand to be taken to Cuba so that everyone can enjoy the hurricane season ...

It goes without saying that the pond is always reminded of certain American pill-poppers (how could Colbert be so cruel?) whenever Akker Dakker hovers into view ...

And speaking of fake news and nuts, it's back to Akker Dakker with a decent bout of climate denialism, Akker Dakker himself being world famous for his contributions to climate science...

Now anyone interested might compare and contrast the crazed fundamentalism of Akker Dakker with those with some grasp of the way that palms bend in the wind ...

But in the interest of brevity and avoiding too much human suffering, the pond will just offer up a final gobbet of distilled essence of pompous fat owl thinking. 

Waiter, the last doughnut please, with a yaroop and a garooah ...

Barking mad of course, addled in the brain, tormented by Marxists, and therefore supporting a government five year plan worthy of Stalinism in pursuit of an ideology ...

And so incoherent, he can't even stay the course on climate science and energy but must wander off into the field to have another bash at SSM and shout at a diverse range of clouds ...because SSM and climate science have so much in common, at least in the addled mind of the demented Akker Dakker, clear evidence of the dangers of drugs to unwary young folk ...

Never mind, duty done, and so to a last cartoon for those who were willing to be swept away by the ranting of a Terrorist loon ...
