The pond is vastly relieved that Thursday has again become a day when the pond can put aside all cares of the world, and listen to the soothing sounds of the savvy Savva, gently casting unguents on all that's bothersome …
The pond takes her columns as communiques, or missives, from the dear leader's office …for she has the ear of our Caesar, and takes his interests and concerns to heart …
But having done the build-up, the pond must first deal with urgent news from the north, where the frisky Gauls are conducting a show trial …
The Caterists will take the stand early next week? Why, that's only four or five sleeps away ...
Be still, fast-thumping heart, and return to the savvy Savva for a little quiet time …
Such a relief … glancing at the headlines, the pond had thought that there was trouble at mill …
What a relief to learn that this is just the wretched leftist media at work, scribbling furiously stories such as Female MPs under threat as Liberal Party wrestles with gender balance ...
The sanguine Savva will have none of it …but then she weakens, and oh, dread thought and deed, hints that the mighty Malware might, or should, be thinking … gasp … of quotas ...
Phew, that's a relief. For a moment the pond had thought there might be a little residual misogyny lurking in the hearts of Liberal menfolk, but perish the thought …
Then suddenly, unexpectedly, out of the Victorian mists comes a dark shadow and the howl of a dreadful beast, close cousin to the Kraken, the Kroger ...
Phew, reading between the lines, it seems the onion muncher is safe, and the Victorians have gone down the same rabid theocratic path …
Eek, the Bastiaan, as noted at the AFR here (may be paywall affected) ...
There's nothing like a new theocracy to set things straight, attending to the religion of the sacred bloke ball …
There shall be complimentary women, and they shall return to the kitchen sink, so it was written, so it shall be ...
But what's this? Trouble in paradise, and shonky builders at work, and the efforts of the onion muncher come to naught?
Enough of looking at ghastly right wing ratbag entrails, making meaningless the use of the word "liberal", it must be time for a Rowe cartoon, with many more Rowes here …
Well, that was some exposition by our savvy Savv. No "sorcery" the headline said, and no mention of "sorcery" anywhere in Savv's brainfart. I guess that's what you get when you can't even afford EnZed subbies any more - disconnected nonsense.
ReplyDeleteI did like a couple of bits though:
"They [ie "men and women" which I think just about covers the possibilities] can learn to cope with the losses ... or blame others for their failure (Kevin Rudd, Julia Gillard, Tony Abbott)".
Now I can accept that Ruddskin and Muncher were indeed the architects and builders of their own collapses, but Julia ? As far as I can see, Ruddskin and Muncher (being amongst the best) were major contributors to her "failure" - if her government, with the highest ratio of government acts passed to sitting days of any Australian Federal Parliament, is to be called a "failure".
"...Julia Banks who ... won Chisholm from Labor."
Yeah, yeah, sure she "won Chisholm". Now here's a list of all the people who have been federal MPs for Chisholm since it was created: Wilfred Kent Hughes, Tony Staley, Graham Harris, Helen Mayer, Michael Wooldridge, Anna Burke and now Banks. In short, since its founding in 1949, Chisholm has returned a Liberal member for 46 years out of 67 altogether. And Banks only won by 1.24 % (after preferences) with a huge and glorious swing of just 2.84%. Even the Greens managed a swing of 2.83 %.
So if I may be permitted the interjection, there was no "sorcery" in Banks's "win" of Chisholm either - a natural Liberal seat was returning to its rightful owners after being highjacked for nearly 18 years by Anna Burke.
