The pond doesn't resile from its decision to send the dog botherer off to a late arvo slot.
The pond has read the dog botherer's resilient climate science denialism so many times it could recite it off by heart.
The pond reckons it might even get a job as a ghost writer for the dog botherer. Type x columns into a computer, set the correct logarithms, press a key and watch it do a kabuki flower rearrangement, and then regurgitate a new form of the same old words, and be published in the lizard Oz...
So to the latest regurgitation ...
At this point the reptiles interrupted with a snap of some banner waving ...
But speaking of climate-change clots as that clottish dog botherer is wont to do, there was a clot out and about in recent times, as noted in Bloomberg ...
The pond thought it might just slip that in before returning to the dog bothering clot ...
The pond should have warned that the dog botherer would be exceptionally long and tedious, as well as malicious and spiteful ... and perhaps sensing this, the reptiles inserted a shot of the clot out and about looking concerned ...
It's worth repeating that the pond doesn't bother to argue with the dog botherer these days. Once upon a time, the pond would have taken the guff seriously and perhaps even gone off and fetched a climate scientist to explain how both fire and floods might be a sign ...
But why bother? The links are there for anyone who cares ... the pond just has to slog its way to the end ...
There's no point trying comedy either, even when the pond was astonished to discover that The Chaser was still a thing ...
Not nearly as funny as a collapsing kitchen!
Was it only yesterday that every weekend prattling Polonius would rail at the Chaser boys? How time flies ... and so inevitably, even the dog botherer must regurgitate a final emission before falling silent ...
It seems a real pity to waste a Kudelka on the dog botherer ...
But at least more Kudelka can be found here ...
And so to another climate science denialist loon, a lizard Oz regular ...
Out of boredom, or perhaps a deep sense of ennui, the pond googled some of the Bjorn-again one's text, and discovered that according to google, these words were nowhere else to be found except in the lizard Oz...
You can take this two ways ... the reptiles have come up with yet another astonishing EXCLUSIVE ... or no one else could give a flying fuck about reading the Bjorn-again one's TOSH ...
The pond doesn't much mind, the pond just wants to get the job done and finish the tosh, because it always has a bet riding on the Bjorn-again one ...
Nope, not in that gobbet, but did the pond fear it was finally going to lose its bet? Oh ye of little faith, trust in the moronic capacity of the mindless Bjorn-again one for endless repetition ...
Yep, thar he blowed: "We need to invest in research and development across a wide range of potential energy sources."
That must be the umpteenth time the Bjorn again one scribbled words of this kind, it certainly feels like the zillionth time the pond has read them ...
And that's about all that needs to be said about the Bjorn again one ...
The pond has no idea why he bothers, and frankly doesn't understand by the reptiles bother either ... except of course that they have a readership currently living in that Kudelka cartoon ...
Meanwhile, the pond regrets having wasted an infallible Pope earlier in the week, but given this unholy hour and time slot, why not waste it again?
Hmm -could the steady recycling of the Doggy One's 'opinions' be part of a cunning ruse by Liberal Party election team to tie up the available independent fact-checking sites and sources, so your Prime Minister, and the Beefy, and Minister Gidget, can spout their supposed revelations without being subject to that inconvenient fact-checking? I realise that that is crediting the election team with a capacity that they have not yet shown this time around. On the evidence of SloMo's visit to Lismore, which is almost a text book example of how to get offside with the maximum number of people in the shortest time, 'Liberal election planning' is almost an oxymoron, but -
ReplyDeleteHi Dorothy,
ReplyDelete“Wow, that is some list; it leaves you wondering who is putting the Prime Minister’s pants on in the morning?”
Can I suggest his tax-payer funded official/personal photographer;

"It's worth repeating that the pond doesn't bother to argue with the dog botherer these days" Nope, no point in arguing with someone who doesn't actually ever argue but just makes up stories, tells lies and expects everyone to believe them as much as he does.
ReplyDeleteBut re one of his lies, there's this about desalination plants: "Only Perth's was necessary and has been useful; the others are expensive white elephants kept on standby, chewing up money and energy in the hope they will be required some day." Yeah, well the Doggy Bov obviously didn't live through the 'Millennium Drought' in Melbourne roughly from 1996 to 2009 - we could really have done with a desalination plant back then. So the Wonthaggi Plant is the largest in Australia and is capable of delivering about 1/3rd of Victoria's water needs annually - at the current population level (did anybody mention that Victoria's, and particularly Melbourne's, population is increasing fairly rapidly due to high levels of immigration ?)
However, it does deliver a variable desalinated water supply every year as determined by the state of rainfall and dam storage. As the government water management folk will tell you, if you only ask, the Desal Plant works to keep Victoria's water supply in dams at a workable level, rather that waiting for a drought emergency to then be switched on. Which sounds way too sensible to be considered by a Doggy Bov. It also uses grid electricity which it offsets via Renewable Energy Certificates so it doesn't increase emissions.
And here's another thought that the Doggy Bov will never have: "Error one is that you must base policy not upon what you hope will happen, nor even upon what you expect to happen, but upon the range of possible outcomes."
The same old mistakes
