In which the pond enjoys its ritual Monday white fudge Oreo ...


Talk about mixed messages. One day it's talk of clowns and panem et circenses, and all that results ...


... and the next day it's the Oreo and the lizard editorialist getting all excited by it all ...




Every so often the pond would like to take a reptile and give them a sound thrashing with a copy of the lizard Oz, preferably if it had one of their stories featured on the front page.

Well there has to be a good use for the tree killer edition, and besides, as everyone knows, there's a Presidential precedent for this sort of behaviour, though perhaps the pond should have thought of using Forbes magazine ...

It might sound a little kinky and weird when it comes to an Oreo, perhaps better dunked in a tepid cup of tea, but why should she escape, especially when she goes into full apocalyptic preacher mode ...


The pond's first thought is that if a populist tidal wave looms, then the 'leets of the lizard Oz should be beware, because this time next year the current crop of reptiles will be out on their ear, and anarchy will rule the intertubes, and the pond will be scribbling the editorial warning of the dangers of our lizard overlords ...

But that's the thing with the panderers, shouting in apocalyptic style from their eeries at the top of the ramparts ... they never imagine they'll be devoured, even as the 1930s showed that those who hunger for an apocalypse should always have second thoughts ... especially those that yearn for that vilest of all substances, white fudge ...


And now, as what's here is thinly disguised white fudge, it's on with the race-baiting and the fear-mongering ...


Is it just the pond, or is the Oreo sounding increasingly erratic, irrational, paranoid and hysterical week by week?

All this talk about the UN is of the familiar black helicopter kind, as it was when Dame Slap assured her readers that the UN was using climate science to establish a world government ...

We've been there before many times ...


Now here's the Oreo in full apocalyptic mode.

How is it possible to tell? Well anyone who includes lines like "As I have written", or "the writing is on the wall", or perhaps "so and thus it is fulsomely written", is in full-blown oracular, sibyllline, prognostic Charlton Heston mode ...so let it be written, so let it be done ...

What's interesting is the way that "supranational" is a word likely to set off a full-scale panic attack, as if a bunch of nations getting together trying to sort out assorted issues is a dire threat ...

Yep, we've been there before ...


The only trouble there was that the May 21st in question was in 2011, and poor old Harold Camping discovered that his prediction of the world coming to an end was actually him foretelling that he'd suffer a stroke and be shuffled off to a nursing home to regain his strength ...

Woe betide those who would scribble "as I have written", sayeth the pond ...


Now the pond is content to leave the Oreo's garbled mis-representations and mis-understandings of historical events to others ...

She doesn't even seem to begin to comprehend that if we're talking of overthrowing the 'leets and picking up the pitchforks, amongst the first into the tumbrel to take the short journey to the guillotine should be Chairman Rupert ...

Does the Oreo really think that blather about government and greenies and all the rest of it obscures the real danger, which is a bunch of self-serving billionaires?

The silly chook thinks the decline of Rome was all about the concentration of wealth and power, as if billionaires don't happen to represent some fair concentration of wealth and power.

When was the last time that Chairman Rupert did something useful and constructive for the world? As opposed to publishing doomsayers and naysayers blathering about the burden of unprecedented debt... at the very moment that the Donald himself decided to give him and his spawn a handsome pay-out by adding a humble $1.5 trillion to US debt.

What a deluded, paranoid soul she is, but the pond does look forward to next week's column, when no doubt the writing will be on the wall for Chairman Rupert and his ilk ... and the pond promises to get out the old tumbrel, dust it off, and grease the wheels ...

And if that doesn't work, there are some folks working on a splendid plan ...



As for the rest, the pond has been there before ...

  1. Is JO really getting less and less coherent with each passing week, or have I just not noticed how totally incoherent she's always been ?

    But otherwise, the rapid transformation of D.Trump into 'Great Hero of Great America' by passage of his tax law is delicious, if incomprehensible. And our very own M.Trumble wants to repeat that triumph here. Oh wau.

  2. She has a history of going over the top. You can see in this effort that she tries to assemble things to support her world view & when that fails she descends into the standard rant about big government, debt, the left, ABC, world government, witches, demons etc etc etc.

  3. Thanks DP - an Oreo with my morning coffee is a special treat!

    This also made me laugh...

    Ex UKIP MP Douglas Carswell says moon less influential on tides than sun.

    So much for HIS ability for "incisive analysis" as intimated by the Oreo.

    Quoting a twit like Carswell in her inane rant is just more incestuous right wing echolalia.

    1. Now there's a word one doesn't see all that often: echolalia.

      But apart from its usefulness in describing churched religion, it is indeed a total way of life for denizens of the herpetarium.

      And Caswell is a treat, isn't he - even better than Leyonhjelm and nearly as good as Scott Morrison.

    2. For sure GB. As (yet another) Pope once remarked “a little learning is a dangerous thing”. Carswell’s garbling of basic primary school physics is characteristic of all paid-up members the “anti-expert” brigade. Their agenda is always to muddy the Pierian Spring. Non-scientist, climate conspiracist, and all round nutjob Malcolm Roberts for example is especially proficient in throwing around phrases such as “empirical evidence” in a futile attempt to sound as if he knows what he is talking about. Imagine my horror when I found he was born the same day as me – at his age he should know better!

    3. Delicious :)³ You make a powerful argument for lamingtons and rock cakes over Oreos ...
