In which the pond holds its nose and munches on a stale, smelly Oreo ...

The pond feels quite pleased at defying doctor's orders and getting through the triptych of terror at the top of the digital Oz's fundamentalist bigot section this day … but then it realised that meant coming to the Oreo, and this day the Oreo is particularly low-rent …

You see, the pond takes the view that murder and violence, against men and women, isn't something to be used for cheap point-scoring, especially as cheap a sneer as "globalist", as if somehow the Oreo is living on another planet …

Correction, she undoubtedly is, but one of the signature notions for people living on this particular planet, call it globalist if you will, is that we're all living in the only place we've currently got and wouldn't it be good if we didn't routinely perform violence on each other …

Yes, the pond realises that's unutterably wet, and so to the Oreo performing verbal violence, but right at the end, please forgive if the pond points out a truly globalist irony …

She really is a singularly vicious little turnip, isn't she, the woman who scribbled furiously in support of the man who boasted how he could grope women by the pussies and get away with it, and apparently Rudy now thinks he really should do a murder, come on down James Comey, just so he can see how the presidential pardon works …

We keed, we keed, the pond had promised not to make cheap political points, but it was more than passing strange while discussing rape to see this at the top of the lizard Oz digital edition recently …

Uh huh, while the Oreo was going feral about transnational globalist rapes, the reptiles were busy recycling a piece from The Times explaining how it was right and proper to think that rape was just bad sex on an off-date night …

It turns out it was all just harmless fun ...

So much for "no" … and how wonderful to return to the era of men's 'conjugal rights'  ...and now, with that distraction out of the way, it's on with the rest of the Oreo, and that irony the pond noted at the beginning …

You see the irony now?

Yes, the Oreo is an academic globalist, citing all sorts of places around the globe as examples of her potent academic status …while busily explaining how globalists can't be trusted … though come to think of it, perhaps in the matter of the Oreo, that insight might be an example of broken clock syndrome at work …

It also seems to have escaped the Oreo that her derivative work recycles the efforts of others to bring scrutiny to the doings of NGOs, but hey nonny no, never mind, as she's mentioned the Catholic church, with some hint of grievance at its suffering, here's a mild Catholic joke for the wrap party …with the triptych of terror shot and safely in the can ...
