Yesterday the reptiles had this at the top of the page … and a little further down, the dog botherer doing his usual thing …
Of course the pond could have started with a few cartoons …
But instead it remembered that this week had begun with the dog botherer doing his usual thing …
Even back then the pond knew it would need an infallible Pope as a booster just to begin the chore …
And then the much delayed Monday duty kicked in, and the pond went back to the future ...
Hang on a second, hang on a mo… the pond realised that all this sounded more than vaguely familiar, and decided to do another time travel experiment.
Into the machine the pond went, and for no particular reason, landed back in 2011 ...
Oh fucketty fuck fuck, nothing's changed, the pond is trapped in some eternal reptile hellhole with the repetitious dog botherer.
Not only is he is a moron, he moronically repeats his moronic rants … is it any wonder that the pond reached for a fresh Rowe … (with more Rowe here with an Xmas offer) …
And yet here the pond was still stuck in 2011 with the dog botherer showing off his climate denialist credentials ...
What was once the orthodox view is now on the back foot … in 2011?
The pond needed another Rowe to break free of the deadly past …
And with that the pond returned to the dog botherer just last Monday in the lizard Oz, still sounding like a broken clock, but without such a clock's chief virtue, of occasionally being right during the day ...
Actually, the pond wonders why a devoted climate science denialist would give a flying fuck about the Paris targets …wouldn't the position adopted in this cartoon be a more useful position?
Okay, it'll be clear by now that the pond has no interest in discussing climate science with a fuckwit. Roll out a climate scientist with field experience or compelling models or some insight on assorted theories, and the pond might pay attention … but a dedicated climate science denialist wanting to bring the pond alleged good news? Tell 'em they're moronically dreaming, and ranting ...
Funny. It isn't just the ABC of course … not that the pond reads the Nine papers much these days, but still, just for a jolly jape amongst chums …
More here, but the pond's really only along for the cartoons …
And so to the last gobbet of dog botherer denialism on the Monday ...
And there's the chief art of the spin doctor, down there with the Donald.
When acting as a propagandist on a daily basis, accuse others of propaganda; when not really giving a flying fuck about climate science, and not believing a word of it, carry on about how all the targets are being met and all is right with the world …
What a fraudulent ratbag he is … whipping his old nag to the finish line, like others in the house …
Yes, you wouldn't want to be a retiree living on interest...
But all that done, all the pond's travels - back to Monday, back to 2011 - and the pond hadn't even caught up with yesterday … yesterday, when the dog botherer seemed so far away …
But the dog botherer's here to stay … suddenly the pond's not half the blog it used to be, there's a shadow hanging over it … oh the dog botherer came suddenly, and how the pond longs for yesterday ...
This is a prime example of the boring, monomaniacal style of the dog botherer, but in its own way, it exemplifies the entire lizard Oz house beat …and some find it addictive …
But the pond must scurry on … because there's an unanswered question nobody much cares to know the answer to ... how much dog botherer can a koala lay bare?
That's as opposed to the quality policies being pursued elsewhere …
Never mind, the dog botherer is determined to pin it all on climate science …
Actually there was a reason that Labor failed, and it's Rowe who points it out, as the pond routinely did to the comrade Bill lovers in the family ranks, though why he's still hanging around like a bad smell must remain a mystery …
Ah trust Rowe to elevate the discussion with a quality reference …
But enough of art, guaranteeing as it does that the dead smell emanating from comrade Bill will continue to waft into the ether and spoil feeble Albo's party …
The pond isn't that interested in autopsy, and instead must make even more space for relentless stupidity ...
Yep, in the end, it's not about climate science at all … which perhaps is just as well …
Indeed, indeed, and could we now double down on that?
Every word of it humbug by a denialist, now content that pretending to care and making a minimal effort will be more than enough …
Well, they erect monuments to that sort of thinking, and so the immortal Rowe has the final word, or at least the final image …

but let’s not torture ourselves ‘cause salvation is a comin’ as hands are raised high to the sky followed with “thoughts and prayers”

Our thoughts and prayers are with those who have been so directly and horribly impacted by these fires.
Now once one takes the Doggy Bov on board, it becomes bleedin' bloody obvious why Alex the Downer was such a total disaster. Would any sane person in their right mind employ Kenny as a "top advisor" and "Chief of Staff" ? Well apparently Malcolm Turnbull did, and we all remember Utegate, don't we.
ReplyDeleteSo here's the Doggy Bov expounding re Labor and climate change: "By pretending its opponents proffer denial and inaction, Labor locks itself into reckless policies and indefensible arguments. It is conned by its own hyperbole, hemmed in by its own hype."
Wau, is that an enormous 'projection' from the herpetarium (and the LNP, boc) onto 'Labor' or not ? When he looks deep into his own heart of darkness, Doggy Bov is actually remarkably perspicacious ... provided he can project all of his wingnut faults onto "the Left".
But just for a wee bit of comparison, here's a contribution to the discussion from Michelle Grattan:
"The report [into Labor's electoral loss] says that high expectations of victory caused Labor incorrectly to assume it had a stronger campaign machine and better digital capacity than the Coalition. It also led to “little consideration being given to querying Labor’s strategy and policy agenda”.

I would just add that Labor also didn't have $60million to counter Clive Palmer's "Shifty Shorten" ads, a point that seems somehow to always get ignored, even by Weatherill and Emerson.
And I do just vaguely wonder if anybody will mention Chris Bowen's sage advice to voters: "If you don't like our policies, don't vote for us".
DeleteThat's one piece of political advice that seems to have worked.
