In which the squirrel turns to its stored nuts ...

The reptiles were marking time this day, with just a fair average climate science denialist outing at the top of the digital page …


Surely the boats can't have been lost in a single day!? Do the reptiles read the polls showing that solar is very popular with the punters? (here) How much tilting at windmills can a koala bear or a reptile do?

The bloviators weren't much better …


Sure, fireworks went off as the pond awarded entry for Dame Groan into the grand order of cliché users, for the squillionth reptile use of "virtue-signallers". Now for the next squillion.

And the pond did appreciate the optimism and enthusiasm of Graham Young …


Whatever happened to "progress"? The last time the pond looked, "progress" and "progressives" were as hideous and hated as "virtue-signallers."

Strange times, but as strange as they are, the judges had to rule out our Adam's nakedly obvious, rather pitiful ploy, a craven trolling and seeking of attention …


It just so happens there's a handy list of convict crimes here … so it seems murder along with many other forms of villainy suit our Adam just fine … though it does make a mockery of the carry-on conducted by our very own Elvis, which saw him humiliated for rank stupidity on Sky of all places … (check out Media Watch if you missed it).


Meanwhile, the pond was left with a dilemma. Confronted by reptile mediocrity, what would any wise squirrel do, but break the glass and turn to the nuts that had been saved for a time of shortage … and who better than the internationalist Oreo?


Yes, the Oreo is an internationalist, and better than that, she's one of the 'leets that turn up everywhere, even in Africa …

It made the headline for the Oreo all the more poignant, evoking the sad, lost days when the Oreo was just a parochial local radical feminist …


Sure, a day later, it all seems so dated and aged, like a stale Arrowroot biscuit, all crumbly and meaningless, rather than a deeply enriching Oreo full of stuf …


Instead it reminded the pond of the kit that British preppers are stocking their bug outs with in anticipation of the apocalypse, as featured by the returning John Oliver …

 

By golly, they're tough, the Brits, and it's a great relief to know that you can get dehydrated baked beans with compostable packaging …and they're posh ...


But enough of survivalism, that was just necessary to survive the next gobbet of Oreo ...


Globalist bodies such as the World Health Organisation, which in some weird loop, the Oreo cites as citing her?

Frankly, between being treated by the Oreo and a doctor from MSF, the pond would take the doctor everyday …there's something admirable about doctors willing to go into hell holes to help people, which is a sentiment that must be wholly alien to the ranting world of an Oreo …but is there any doctor who can truly handle rich, ripe fruit paranoia of the kind the pond last saw over the weekend in the RPA's emergency ward, but now returns full blown here?


Hint, if you're going to indulge in such blather, please don't cite the WHO and the UNEC in your pitiful CV in a tragic attempt to build up your tattered academic status and battered, precarious sense of self-esteem …

All it suggests is that you're ripe for a course at Pope University


Disclaimer: Pope University is not affiliated with Trump University or Trump Airlines or Trump Steaks or Trump casinos … and that brings the pond to the second part of the double bill …



Yes, only yesterday they were out and about, but the Caterist was on top of the pile, ranting about GetUp in approved reptile form, while ignoring the Department of Finance funding elephant in the room …


And with that ritual out of the way, the pond can safely proceed ...


At last, a proper use of the word "progressives", because the Caterists have a genuine contempt for any notion of progress, the world being a much happier place in the days of fiefdoms and kingdoms and the patronage of monarchs. Think of all the paperwork you have to do to get some cash in the paw from the Department of Finance so you can scribble furiously about the enemy, how much simpler if a king could throw a bag of coins on the table with a flourish … and then you could scuttle off to scribble some uxorious praise …

It was all very predictable, so the pond thought a teaser might help …



Ah yes, the crabs are still scuttling, and so the pond can scuttle cheerfully on, knowing that there will be  a Rowe cartoon at the end of it ...


By golly that portrait of a demonic comrade Bill is distilled essence of Lobbecke, and gives the Caterist a cult status he doesn't really deserve, as he worries about the mutton Dutton and the fate of the scuttling crab …

Luckily the pond had its own teaser portrait to hand…oh yes, things are building nicely ...


And so it's back to the Caterist for a final bout of fear, fear-mongering, and distilled essence of paranoia. Relax, you can afford to do that when you've got government grant cash in the paw … and with the cash, you can help the government fight the election on at least a dozen institute fronts ...


Thank the long absent lord, nothing will stop the Caterist mob getting their hands on the green stuff, essence of cash in the paw, and messing with everything, including our heads and the movement of flood waters in quarries …

And so to the Rowe treat for the day, with more tasty Rowe here …as the pond maintains the vigil and awaits the arrival of the boats ...

  1. Well it's just wondrous on a Tuesday, isn't it: The Oreo and Goosebumps Cater both on the same day. A sad duet of lorn and lost howling at an invisible moon.

    But here's just a tad of amazing perspicacity by the Cater: "It is getting harder to read Australian politics as a conflict between Left and Right. The shape of today's battle lines depends on where you sit."

    Just totally inspiring isn't it: what you fight for depends on where you sit. And it's taken a Pommy refugee social science graduate to sniff out that universal truth to enlighten us all. Just as well we allow immigrants from Ex-EU countries, isn't it.

  2. Fuck me they are on the wrong side of history. Independents are the new normal. There is a severe chance that the onion muncher is going to lose his seat to one. Shouldn't goosebumps analyse that? Sorry, scratch that, analysin' stuff isn't really his bag.

  3. Transparent with finance? it comes from people like me who are glad to chip in $25 when I can - not transparent like the IPA though, nowhere near that transparent.

    1. Speaking of Cash and transparency, I see that, when it comes to giving testimony about AFP raids, Michaelia has become so transparent that she is literally invisible...

  4. Oh yes the dreaded marxists are taking over the world!
    What about American imperialism (see wiki) or the fact that Amerika has at least 800 overseas military bases. Obviously a secretive marxist plot!

    What about the global political activities of the "catholic" church - search the topic the vatican and world politics. Never mind that it runs the worlds largest "privately" owned propaganda machine> And the fact that the "catholic" church has "legally" binding concordats with numerous states by which the "catholic" church is not subject to the civil laws of the countries that have such concordats?
    Search the topic concordat watch. Obviously a secretive marxist plot too!

  5. I suppose that watching these loons week in week out we have become a bit desensitised to the simple nastiness of the reptiles. Not a shred of empathy, no principles to mention, just an unrelenting attack on those they see as the enemy.

    Oreo's enemies are largely imaginary. Leftist conspiracies, world government etc. She might as well be writing a treatise on the malign influence of witches.

    Cater is a different room in the same house. He makes lists of "abominations" - renewable energy, asylum seeker, medicare etc - they just seem like worthwhile causes to me. He also has trouble with the operation of democracy or maybe just with free thought. GetUp has an agenda? The Left/Right divide is an oversimplification? Wow - worth the subscription eh?

    I guess Nick is just a dull little tit.

    Incidentally, when you see vision of activist groups lately have you noticed how many older folk are present? One example https://twitter.com/GetUp/status/1097682723500580864 . I think we may be at a tipping point.

    1. Yeah, the only stage in your life when you've got some free time, it's generally too late to do anything about it. But maybe I should join GetUp! anyway. What about you, Bef ?

    2. I think about it from time to time. My actions at the moment tend to be tokenistic - donating small amounts to lost causes and sending emails that no one reads (judging by the proforma responses), however I am not sure I would have the stomach for door knocking or working the phones. I tend to get a bit frustrated with folk that cannot join the dots, and that is just about everybody on the wrong side of human/reptile divide.

    3. Yeah, that's about the size of it. Though I might opine that "in the long run, all causes are lost".
