Well that about says everything, and for the master of summaries, see more Rowe here …
But the pond must press on, back into la la la reptile land …with the opening note that the mutton Dutton's mob couldn't organise a coup in a chook shed even if they were armed with a decent racing axe …
Soon enough we'll come to ScoMo's choice, worse than Sophie's - does he reward the onion muncher, as well as the mutton Dutton, for their treason and treachery?
Meanwhile, the reptiles feign delight and hope at this strange outcome to their conspiracy …
But a quick tour of the lizard Oz shows signs of frazzle and conflict …
There are a couple who try to polish the turd …
But what about the rest of this tower of babel?
There's the coulda woulda shoulda, of "would've hurt Hanson", there's the obligatory kicking of Malware now he's down - naturally Dame Slap and Dame Groan are on hand to do that, with Richard Alston in to add a lightweight voice to the throng of bovver lads and lasses … and the savvy Savva is on hand for a dissenting gloat ...
And look, there's News Corp wanting to feud with Nine over the obvious truth that the reptiles were hot to trot for a coup, and yet they fumbled and bumbled their way to an unexpected outcome …
Say what again?
The mutton Dutton and the onion muncher and the Murdochian reptiles have reduced the pond to agreeing with the oscillating fan?
For that they will pay a huge price for their bumbling, fumbling, inept idiocy …
And so to the reading for the day, and what better sort of inept idiot than the bromancer, stuck in his usual perch at the top of the digital opinion section …
Why is this compelling? Well it sounds like it's more of the idiotic culture wars that got the Liberals into their current mess, as the reptiles do their very best to enact the Trumpification of Australia …
Actually it's not that hard to paint it as a lurch to the Right.
Everyone's so pleased to have escaped the delusional potato head that they seem to have forgotten ScoMo's form, and it's not just his ability to speak in tongues, it's his ability to speak dinkum clean Oz coal, oi, oi, oi …
Ah yes, the glory days are upon us now …the pond must learn to speak in tongues ...
But back to that blather about a "strong culture base", which of course is your standard dog whistle for "angry old white men shouting at clouds and conducting a crusade for Judeo-Christian Anglo-Celtic Western Civilisation" …
Now the pond should have warned that this was going to be the bromancer in full long form dog whistle outing …
That always involves a litany, and perhaps as a gesture towards entertainment, the pond should join Rowe at a Saturday matinee screening showing off Western Civilisation at its purest and most elemental …
Remember Rowe's here, but enough of the Saturday matinee and that dry gulching varmint skulking away like a sidewinder coyote, it's back to mindless prattle on a cosmic cultural wars bromancer level ...
Yes, indeed, and the recent lizard Oz war on Sudanese is just crime reporting and nothing to do with dog-whistling race-based sentiment, and if you believe that, the pond has a harbour bridge to sell you, and it's recently been given a classic blonde bleach and looks beautiful in the sun, as glistening White Australians tend to do …
Now how about a special ban on Islamics, in the style of a Trump?
Hmm, a little tricky, but worth considering, an eminently reasonable form of discussion and dog-whistling … and don't forget that climate science denialism, that can is worth a kick down the road ...
And there's the point of all this odious prattle. Enact the culture wars of the lizard Oz, or suffer the consequences …
Tug the forelock and make gestures towards climate science, free trade and immigration if you will, provided they're mealy mouthed and aspirational and completely meaningless, but step across the line and the reptiles will resume the culture wars in earnest …
And now, oh fucketty fuck, not more blather about postmodernism, and people losing their precious bodily fluids ...
Bring the digital universe under the rule of law in the next few months? What is the bromancer blathering on about?
Oh it's a plea to save the lizard Oz business model? How silly of the pond to forget …
Such stupid people, scribbling so many stupid things over and over again, as if that will make them come true, or if that might lead the mutton Dutton to the Lodge …
And now to cap it off? Why not an implicit celebration of the Donald and the Trumpification of the known universe ...
Oh fucketty fuck, thugby league as the way forward. Well so much for Bach, Beethoven and all the rest of the cultural wallflowers …
Just speak in tongues, learn to love coal, fuck the planet and she'll be right. Put it another way, follow the onion muncher's policies, dance to the tune of the Murdochians, fix the full to overflowing intertubes for them, and they will lead you to some sort of redemption …at least for the next few months ...
And so the pond must yet again turn to the infallible Pope for guidance and perhaps a sign of hope, with more hopeful Pope here ...
And so Malware sails off, and the nation must endure talk of the culture wars and Captain Bligh's epic trek …
What can be said about all that ? Nothing much really - not because it's so terrible (though it is) but because whatever one says the reptiles will just trot out a set of illusions and delusions that are even crazier than all the totally loony things they've said so far.
