Bizarre ... this day featured the latest effort by the Terrorists to flog subscriptions, by offering noise-cancelling headphones as part of the deal ...
Now if the offer had involved Devine-cancelling headphones ... or Akker Dakker or petulant Peta-cancelling headphones ... or best of all, reptile-cancelling headphones ...
Meanwhile, the pond noted Mike Bowers sauntering around the Broadway shopping centre as brazen as you like, and has an important word of advice for the reptiles...
It seems that those who work at the ABC have the ability to hide the horns that mark them as children of Satan. Extra precautions should be taken in the Surry Hills bunker to keep the reptiles' hot rocks safe ...and the pond will check out the show this morning just to confirm that Barrie Cassidy has returned and Chris Uhlmann has disappeared forever from their ABC ...
And so to the Devine of the day, which it has to be said is exceptionally tedious, being a lot more of the SSM usual, and is mainly of interest because it presents the reptiles with something of a conflict of interest ...
You see the Terror fancies itself as the home of thugby league, and the thuggers are at heart sensitive and caring folk...
Sheesh, what we need here is someone who knows how to play it hard, do a coat-hanger to the head or a kick to the balls ... release the crackers and cheese Devine!
But first the pond should admire the contribution of attention-seeking Annika Smethurst ... doing her level best to look like a poor person's Sharri ...
Why do the tabloids make their female reptiles adopt these wretched poses?
Never mind, the pond is happy to enrol Annika in its "ticket to Tamworth" movement, which hopefully will see the entire reptile commentariat decamp to the regional capital of the world, there to scribble fruitfully bounteous columns for the Terror ...
The pond's logic is impeccable, which is why it offers only one way tickets on the Flyer (a name used in the comical, juxtapositional way of laconic Australians calling the NBN Speedy).
After all, how hard would it be for the Devine to pound out this short piece while being represented by Barners. Sure he's a Kiwi, but Tamworthians embrace him as they would any sheep-lover ...
But why should the Devine be so grateful to Malware? Well the "public vote" - which is actually a survey, the vote being restricted to MPs - gives the Devine a chance to maintain the rage and her unremitting Catholic fundamentalist homophobia ...
For this she needs useful fools and compliant tools, and there's plenty wanting their useless moment in the sun ...
Indeed, indeed. Naturally there were a couple of shots of the happy 'Gong couple proving how conventional they were up against the dastardly activists ...
Apparently they can say whatever comes in to their noggins and everybody's supposed to bow their heads, and say "well they're gay, so that makes them impossible to send up shitless for fellow travelling with the likes of the Devine ..."
Then the Devine gets down and dirty with a survey. Now don't expect a discussion of methodologies or the why and the how of the "exclusive polling" by the "Coalition for Marriage", which just coincidentally happens to be home base for bigots in the SSM campaign...
What a fine bunch of saucy doubts and fears. Congratulations, for once again the pond has been Devined ...
Yes, Tamworthians deserve a chance to splash on that essence of vitriole darkness ...
Oops, perhaps the pond was a tad premature with the parfume, there being one further Devine ejaculation, naturally featuring those vile wretches making obscene gestures ...
Every time the pond reads words like "rainbow fascists", often comically associated with words deploring abuse, the pond wonders what happened to Godwin's Law?
What actually happened to an understanding of history? Who remembers what the actual fascists did to real people?
Ah right, that's what happened. When reading Murdochian reptiles, it's possible to become so desensitised to humanity that "rainbow fascist" seems like a cheerful form of polite discourse ...
Yes, the Devine would fit right in to the pond's "ticket to Tamworth" program ...and there'd be the chance of encountering not a horn-hidden Mike Bowers, but a Barners in the street ...
Good old Barners ...
Indeed, indeed. There's almost nothing a gay married couple can't ruin ...
Sure, it's an oldie, but what a goodie, and they dug it up, and the news finally spread to the UK about the yarn ...
And speaking of memes, the frock wearer recently featured on the pond has also been out and about and attracting attention ...
This led to almost universal support ... for the notion that as a prize Pellist twit the frock lover was aiming for a cardinal's hat ...
Never mind, when it comes to memes, the pond will always find a home for yet another "Speedy" joke about the Flyer ...
Good old Malware ... beloved by the Devine ... perhaps he could also be persuaded to take a ticket to Tamworth?
A few more words of wisdom from Krugman in his yesterday NYT blogpost:
ReplyDelete"...the habit of accusing everyone who says or does something you don’t like of sinister motives is pervasive on the right."
Describes the reptiles - and most appropriately The Devine - to a 'T'.
PS. Unlimited nostalgia, DP: a picture of a genuine old "red rattler" from the days before the coming of the Harris Blues.
Devine's a classic beggar of the question. Only she would be as brazen as to turn 'a third would change their vote if the 'Yes' case got nasty' into 'they have serious reservations about the consequences of changing the definition of marriage'.
ReplyDeleteNo Miranda, there are no 'consequences', there is only the fear, that was introduced and championed by you.
And Shorten trying to 'brownnose' the gay community? What an unfortunate metaphor.
