Some reptile sub-editor has a wicked sense of humour, juxtaposing the news from the banks with Dame Slap acting as corporate shill …
As for comrade Bill's shameless kowtowing with sultans - the pond knows how the lizard Oz deeply cares for the fate of homosexuals - the pond has been appalled by the behaviour of Saudi Arabia in its dispute with Canada, even if it did remind the world of the role that Saudis played in 9/11, while pretending to give a flying fuck about the status of women in the country … (Graudian here).
The pond is looking forward to a reptile jihad against lickspittle fellow-travellers who've done more than accept a hotel upgrade, and loved the warm embrace of Saudi money …
Not sure who's in that bear hug, reptiles of Oz? Perhaps a reverse angle?
And so to the Dame Slap of the day, though frankly whenever Dame Slap goes into corporate shill mode, the result is disappointing.
She's at her peak donning MAGA caps, celebrating "Lordish" Monckton, doing a little climate science denying, or scribbling furiously about UN-led international conspiracies …though she does her best by leading off with the plod from the deep north, the mutton Dutton ...
And that tortured logic - punish them for not being far right enough, and not doing an epic policy back-flip - yet - is a beauty. a thing of extraordinary grace, though perhaps only rightly celebrated by Canadians attuned to the fine skills required for curling …
Now there's a sport that doesn't require a king hit or common criminal assault on the field to provide compelling entertainment, up there with Dame Slap herself ...
Yes, it's outrageous anyone should give a flying fuck about indigenous Australians, though that seems to make the reptiles' pious concern for the fate of homosexuals a tad hypocritical.
After all, if it's outrageous for corporates to pay attention to the welfare of their clients, why do the bleeding heart reptiles feign indignation at social issues? Shouldn't they just follow the chairman in hugging a Saudi?
And so to a Dame Slap no brainer, which the pond humbly suggests, implies that Dame Slap is a bear of little brain ...
Here's one good way to be on the nose. Screw your clients and customers into the ground, and fly the corporate flag of Ayn Randist greed …
And remember, Dame Slap is available to advise you on the very best ways to do it …
Meanwhile, on another planet, here's a Pope cartoon a little early in proceedings, with more papal japery here …
Ah, that feels better, and it gives the pond the strength to handle the final gobbet of Dame Slap-ist thinking ...
The biggest beneficiaries go missing in action? Well that's as good a code for the rich as the pond has come across, but at least Dame Slap doesn't bother pretending that the beneficiaries might be average punters luxuriating in the blessings of trickle down in the toilet of life …
As for her plan for corporates to attack the living conditions of the average punter, the pond prays they bring it on ...
… and that brings the pond to the Rowe of the day, wherein the problem seems to be not just corporate shills, but rats - a reminder of the trouble the pond experiences when the neighbours go away and stop putting out the cat food for their remarkably plump and well-fed rat population …
How the rats love to nibble and gnaw …
There are of course plenty more rats to be found lurking at Rowe here...
Off topic but did you see the puff piece by Leigh Sales last night she was downright grovelling to the guest so she would not have to produce evidence of their ability to use the funding efficiently and effectively.
ReplyDeleteAll I can say if the Labor party acted as the liberal party have in this case there would be outrage by leigh Sales.
So when people say the ABC is left leaning they certainly could not include the 7.30 as part of that criticism.
Her attitude when she interviews Bill Shorten is aggressive and confronting but when she interviews Turnbull it is soft and weak attitude.
Rory Callinan: "...connections with a sultan"
ReplyDeleteSomebody should maybe take Rory aside and acquaint him with the whole "6 degrees of separation" thing and just how difficult it is for any human being to totally sever contact with all of the bad guys - you and I have probably got about the same amount of "connections" with evil sultans as Shortn'n has. Of course Murdoch doesn't even try - up close and personal is his style.
But here's the Dame: "The historic shift by corporate Australia away from sensible economic policy and towards social policy comes at a high price ..."
Yep, that shift away from sound business to the social policy of screwing the customers is turning out very costly: in fact "racing towards $1bn" according to Roodan and Butler.
But then we also have: "the most recent World Economic Forum's global competitiveness index ... pointed to rigid industrial relations and uncompetitive tax rates as amongst the biggest problems for the country."
Oh yes, and we all just uncritically believe every last word that the Davos Doofusses throw our way, don't we. Well, Dame Snap certainly does; to her the Davos Doodlings have the authority of holy writ straight from the Trump's tweets.
