The pond was delighted and relieved, at the return of our man Flint to the Speccie mob (along with other glorious specimens, such as Mark Latham and Hal G. P. Colebatch).
The reptiles simply can't match the Speccie mob on a Friday when it's firing on all three cylinders, though the pond was disappointed to see that Flinty wasn't scribbling furiously at the way that the declining Royal flock's genes had been improved by the importation of fresh, soap opera-baked genes from the new world …
Instead Flinty was still banging on about the need to bring back the onion muncher.
Once upon a time, the pond would have thought of this as a tiresome, tired refrain, but a recent story in the Graudian gave the pond food for thought.
You see, the onion muncher has had a stunning success, and can now be fondly remembered as the Prime Minister for Wind (and wind energy) …
For those who can handle an irony overdose there's more here …
The pond hears that the good folk of Nundle, up Tamworth way, have recently been roiled by arguments over a wind farm up Hanging Rock way, and now it seems there's a solution - get the Wind Commissioner to send a few pamphlets, or better still, send the Minister for Wind up to explain the dire threat climate change poses, and the benefits to be had from wind energy …
After the pond picked itself up from a bout of cosmic karmic laughter, it returned to Flinty making the case …
Now it's true that the line about not having an impact whatsoever on the world's temperature generated another bout of cosmic karmic laughter in the pond, and it almost got in the way of the pompous monarchist ass blathering on about elites and opinionated experts, thereby hinting that there was a shortage of mirrors in the Flinty household …though it's fair to say that Flinty isn't so much an opinionated expert, as simply opinionated …
Picking itself up again, the pond wondered whether it should take a hit of the hypocrisy-laced opiate based prescription drugs favoured by Rush Limbaugh, but decided it could handle Flinty cold turkey ...
Indeed, indeed, the Prime Minister for Wind has much going for him, and is fearless in his ambition to stay at the top of the pond … though that mention of Pauline reminded the pond that this day the reptiles had been distracted by a tear-laden flurry …
Just like Flinty the pond is shocked to discover that transgender folk consider themselves human, when they could be just like good old attention-seeking Germaine Greer, settle back and enjoy a regular series of fumbling rapes …
And so to our man Flint's final rhetorical flourish … showing a remarkable capacity to completely forget the way the Minister for Wind white-anted and stabbed in the back poor old Malware in the first round of the leadership wars …
In those long forgotten days, the Minister for Wind had a thing about the ETS, but thankfully his later initiative helped produce a windy turnaround and spread wind energy around the land…
Speaking of the wind needed to drive wind farms, here's that final gust of Flinty ...
There's no doubt that our man Flinty is a truly stupid man, and please, forget all that jibber jabber about having a dinkum schooner from a ponce who sounds like he's swallowed a box of plums …
The pond would love to have a glass of wine in a discreet sophisticated up-market inner city 'leet restaurant with the Minister for Wind, who has done so much to help improve the prospects of wind farms and thereby help the world confronted by the real dangers of climate change, as elaborated in some detail by scientists who have more of a clue in their big toe nail than Flinty has in his monarchist noggin …
And now, as Pauline managed to get involved in the conversation, why not celebrate with a Pope cartoon, which involves not just the pond's love of its daily popery, but also the magical Lewis Carroll, whatever his interest in young girls …please pay particular attention to Humpty Dumpty ...
It's a wonder isn't it: if you appoint a Commissioner to take notice of people's complaints, most of 'em realise that they never really had a valid complaint in the first place.
ReplyDeleteOtherwise, yes, how does Tony escape the 'knife in the back' re Turnbull in the first place ? Was it only because Tones's mate Joe Hockey made it seem like a genuine exercise of democracy ?
