The 'sluts for Clive' at the lizard Oz were at it again yesterday, which made this column particularly funny …
End of the freak show?
Not if the 'sluts for Clive' at the lizard Oz have their way, and they were at it again today, slutting away in their bid to help Clive nauseate punters and march towards a seat in Canberra …
… which made this Richo angle even funnier …
Um, talk to the hand, or at least talk to the 'sluts for Clive' at the lizard Oz … so desperate to make a buck, they made sure even loyal Murdochian readers wouldn't be spared the Clive drivel …
And so to a few more headlines …
Awkward.
Of course the real headline is that SloMo is a liar, pants on fire, because the speaker in tongues was forced to disavow what everyone knows … that when it comes to homosexuality, the Pentecostal mob play it hard … as per this 2016 SBS story about homosexuals unhappily confused by all that blather about Christian love …
But that's not the half of it. Have a squint at some of the delusions outlined more fully here … there's the speaking in tongues and the second coming ...
And then there's the full blown creationism ...
Speaking of fundamentalist Xians, as the pond sometimes does, the pond was vastly relieved that dashing Donners was out and about for the pond's farewell tour …
Indeed, indeed, though is it any weirder than an orthodoxy where imaginary friends and cannibalism prevails (when will Catholics begin to understand the implications of transubstantiation?)
Never mind, it was classic Donners, all hysteria, shouting at clouds and at the youffs who'd stumbled on to his fundamentalist lawn …
Ah, that opening line suggests that Donners has already accepted defeat, and wants to shift the debate to the fourth and fifth phases, 'hunt for the guilty' and 'punishment of the innocent' ...
Dear sweet long absent lord, did the pond just read that bit of nostalgia from the ancient dodderer?
Strange, the pond remembers an entirely different kind of education …
Not to worry, the pond is keen to see if Donners managed to fit in 'cultural Marxism' and 'Gramsci's long march through the institutions.'
Frankly, a failure to do so would constitute some sort of cultural crime ...
What no 'cultural Marxism', no Gramsci? Well the pond forgives the doddering dashing Donners, because that outburst is almost as good.
There's nothing like a Catholic blathering on about impartiality and objectivity to put the pond in a good mood …and it reminded the pond of another reading from the holy book …
You are old Father Donners, and yet you incessantly stand on your head and ramble on about the same things over and over, do you fear it might injure your brain? Why no, dear pond, I'm perfectly sure I have none, and that's why I do it again and again, and in this final gobbet ...
What, forget science, and in particular climate science, and keep on blathering about the culture wars, perhaps with a reminder that creationism is good science, that speaking in tongues gets you in touch with the Lord, and that the rapture will save us all by Xmas?
Well the pond looks forward to dashing Donners next book, "How Political Stupidity is Destroying Australia …"
And with dashing Donners done, the pond turned to Dame Slap to help with its omnibus edition … and Dame Slap delivered in her usual way.
For too long in this campaign there's been a failure by the distracted reptiles of Oz to indulge in some good old-fashioned greenie bashing. With comrade Bill looming as a threat, the reptiles have gone missing in action.
It used to be the reptiles' national sport, but it's fallen by the wayside of late …and yet it was always such fun, and such a great spectator sport …
Trust Dame Slap to maintain a keen interest in the sport, and even better, she's been blessed by the cult status of a Lobbecke cartoon, thereby allowing everyone to spend hours contemplating the cryptic message at the heart of the balloon bubble …
Now there's an irony at the heart of all this, one the pond has celebrated for years, you know, the one where Dame Slap pretends to be a bogan from out the black stump way, while the reptile thumb bio is tremendously keen to explain that really she's a smarty pants from the big end of town …
Delusional pot, meet smarty pants delusional kettle Dr. Dame Slap ...
Yes, it's more of that fragrant reptile love for dinkum clean true blue Oz coal, because the reptiles know that climate science is a theological hoax, and it was Dame Slap herself who confirmed it was just an elaborate ploy to establish a world government by Xmas, 2009 … though in the usual way of things there seems to have been some slippage in the conspiracy, a bit like hanging around waiting for the rapture …
And so to the Orwellian moment, because Dame Slap and the reptiles can never get enough of George, even though he was a socialist and would have loathed everything about the Murdochians ...
Ah, the ABC, how could the pond have forgotten that Satan's children wear cardigans and are employed at the ABC? Where are the tea ladies and biccies of yesteryear that might have softened their many thought crimes?
… so scribbles a rich and well-educated city slicker with an unholy yen for the Donald, and something akin to self-loathing, given her well-educated city slicker status … though given her mindset, Dame Slap possibly thinks that Fox News is a tad too moderate, and inclined to liberal thinking, as when that dreadful Chris Wallace had the temerity to suggest that the tariff emperor might have no clothes, though he certainly had some Chinese-made ties and suits clearing at bargain basement prices …
And that brings the pond to the Rowe of the day, as a distraction from all that reptile domestic drivel, with more Rowe here …
But anyone who wants the domestic one man band playing can always turn to the infallible Pope, and his regular encyclicals here ...
"You are old Father Donners, and yet you incessantly stand on your head and ramble on about the same things over and over..."
ReplyDeleteOh yes, DP, and in nothing more so than this from the Donners: "Instead of pursuing truth and a commitment to being impartial and objective, the dominant orthodoxy, given the rise of postmodernism and deconstructionism, is one where subjectivity prevails and being emotional is more important than being rational."
As always, Donners pretends he is looking outside at the world when is really just standing in front of a mirror.
And so we get to this: "...with mining companies such as chef enemy BHP, it's understandable why so many young people have a negative view of business and making a profit."
And you don't think the behaviour of the banks, indeed of a very large part of the financial "services" industry, had any part in it at all, Donners ? How about the Church (most of them) and the Aged Care industry then ? All pure and loving on those fronts is it ?
How will the Greens find an additional $66 billion a year? Do it over ten years, and the cost is easily covered by the economic growth in our $2000 billion economy. Health costs would be a bit lower too, because of a reduction in air pollution (sulphur dioxide, mercury etc.)
ReplyDeleteDon't think they have to find $66 billion per year, JM. Dame Slap's understanding of export earnings is about on a par with Trumpskin's understanding of tariffs. Australia just doesn't get anywhere near $66 billion from coal exports.
DeleteSure, the state govs get 'royalties' and maybe a landowner or two gets some rent. but at least the three major coal exporters - BHP, Glencore and Yancoal (which bought out Rio Tinto's coal mines) are all either majority or totally foreign owned.
So, we get some company taxes (always greatly minimised as only large internationals can), a few local jobs (not nearly so many now in this advanced machine age) and so on. But of course, the expenses and costs involved in actually operating the mines and transporting the coal takes a substantial part of the $66 billion too.
So we don't get anywhere near $66billion a year for providing "education, health and support to the neediest Australians" as our highly educated law PhD seems to think. We'd be lucky to get even $6bllion a year out of the total coal export revenue for things like that.
Jeez, that double Pope/Rowe right cross and uppercut has had me on the floor for the full count Dorothy. :) :) :)
ReplyDeleteBelushi would be pleased!
GB is exactly right. Donners is just looking in the mirror.....in fact a blind man looking in the mirror, imagining he is seeing all. He sure covers every base with devout delusion, that’s for sure.
My millennial daughter is a teacher and I have met many of her co workers. None, including my daughter have the time to even think about politics as they always seem flat chat just teaching, planning and coordinating and all the rest.
I’ve always been a bit surprised at their political disinterest to be honest. Donners is just doing his bit for union bashing.
As for Albrechtsen.....she is the only woman I know that gives the word bitch a whole new ranking. And like Donners, she covers every base, from ABC to zealot.
The only true thing that she said that I could relate to was “don’t take my word for it”
God, I would love the Greens to win Kooyong.....the Slap would have to disown half her social circle out of self respect.
.....then maybe not, because if she had any, she wouldn’t be working at the Oz.
But Kev, kids these days are taught science and critical thinking. Kids these days aren't stupid, of course they won't grow up to vote LNP.
ReplyDelete"… that when it comes to homosexuality, the Pentecostal mob play it hard … as per this 2016 SBS story about homosexuals unhappily confused by all that blather about Christian love …"
ReplyDeleteThese putative Puritan Pentecostals, they don't hate homosexuality, they don't hate the "sin", they hate People, they hate Life.
They don't even grasp their own theology, focusing on the old testament's fire and brimstone when Jesus was supposed to offer a New Deal, after his Pops decided the old one he had made(God screwed up?)with Israel wasn't working.
All you had to do was believe in Jesus and do your best because humanity was flawed, HAD to be flawed in order to have free will and choice, which gave their choices meaning.
But the Pentecostals want and need to punish the masses of lesser mortals, as they are the real Elites. So elite that out of all the people who have ever and will ever have lived, they are one of the 144,000 who will be saved.
This might be bad news to the millions of other Pentecostals if they ever did the math, or paused to take stock.
Schnooks do indeed rush in where wise men fear to tread.
