In which the dog botherer nips at the heels of hapless Barners ...


The pond is supposed to be on limited reptile rations, but look what the reptiles stuck at the top of the fickle finger of digital fate …

How could the pond resist the sight of the dog botherer nipping at Barners' heel or shank?

The reptiles weren't sure what was best … to trash talk a trash talker, or to urge dignified silence, though the notion of 'dignified' sounds a tad odd if applied to Barners ...


Oh dear, as if conservatives ever gave up the chance at hypocrisy, it being an essential part of the human condition.

But enough of the social media dance, it's on with the nipping, the herding and the worrying ...


Such class. Not only slipping the shiv into poor old Barners, but at the same time promoting the dog botherer's rival talkfest … why, between watching the dog botherer harass issues and people in his usual ratbag way, and contemplating Barners in the Seven gutter, the dog botherer makes a potent argument that enjoying the mud wrestling on Seven might be a better way to spend Sunday evening …

How is it possible to urge dignified silence on Barners when the dog bother clearly doesn't have the first clue about dignified silence?

Did he really need to put out this piece promoting Seven and himself, and thereby force the pond to note the promotion, in a way that might well be construed, in a post-ironic, post-modernist way as also being promotional?

Never mind, the pond has broken its late afternoon diet, and promises to reform. Perhaps the new trajectory for the world economy will lead to quieter times …

  1. very uncharacteristic jab at Tony Abbott herein:

    "Too often they trash the very vehicles that gave them their careers...a decade of destructive and superficial politics has left us with a dysfunctional parliament and a jaded electorate."

    Hadn't expected the dog botherer to ever come clean, but yeah, he's nailed it. Of course when he refers to Abbott as destructive, it's not a worry.
