In which the pond oversleeps and loses a few, but wins a couple of epic Henry and bromancer rants ... so much winning ...

 


The pond slept in this morning - it was possibly the wild-eyed excitement at the thought of reading the hole in the bucket man, or the disappointment at having missed out yesterday on the bromancer, a good groaning and the meretricious Merritt ...







What a tragedy ... the pond had just run with the Killer and then later in the day the perfidious treacherous reptiles had snuck in a good groaning about a hidden danger in plain sight, the bromancer explaining how Boris was snubbing the EU to try to save his political hide, and a Merrittorious agitation about intellectual freedom in Murdoch la la land ...

But what is done is done, and that is yesterday and the pond must plunge boldly on into the future, gaily bedight and on to the current El Dorado ... and how pleasing it is to see the reptiles still raking in Klive's golden cash in the klaw ...







There was shallow Shari doing her very best hit job, and at the top of the page ma, but when the pond looked at the digital edition, all it could see was a cry of existential pain and anguish from the lizard Oz editorialist ...





How did an image of Josh get mixed up in that Ginsbergian howl of pain

Oh it was extremely tempting to go there, what with the reptiles unable to capitalise on the man who lies in the Shire and speaks to his imaginary friends in tongues on tranny bashing policy matters, but that history lesson from the hole in the bucket man called out to the pond, and how could the pond ignore the pleading?.








The pond realised it was going to be a long lecture, with few mentions of ancient philosophers and historians, and so did the reptiles,  because they flung in a snap, to get the juices flowing ...








The pond felt the need to fling in a matching cartoon ...









And then it was back to the history lesson ...







See, not a single reference to ancient times, and our Henry in a state of Stalinist-induced rage ...







Indeed, indeed, though there's lots of places where mere indifference turns into hostile disbelief ...









And so to a final quick gobbet ...





Ah yes, holding the falsifiers to account ....








And as we move on from preserving historical truth from the jackboots of the falsifiers ...







... the pond realised it needn't have panicked about missing the bromancer and Dame Groan because after being there yesterday, they were here again today, and suddenly the pond wished they were on the stairs and would go away ...








Luckily the groaning was in a specialist area and could be safely ignored. And while clearing the decks for a lengthy outburst, the pond could safely ignore bubble headed bigot Claire out and about with some tranny bashing in the triptych of reptile terrors ....







The gravity of her message? As in the siren song of a Deves loon calling out to a Claire de loon?

And so, with the pond exceptionally tired by the relentless tranny bashing inspired by the liar from the Shire, the way was made safe for an epic bromancer rant ...






Whenever the bromancer asks an obvious question like "is it safe?" the pond can't help but think of the bromancer starring in a movie with the same sort of scenario ...







By golly, the bromancer could show Larry a thing or two ... but back to "Is it safe?", with the answer bloody DLP obvious ...







It's the old commies under the bed routine, and let's face it, the bromancer is something of a fundamentalist tyke DLP expert at this sort of idle talk ...







And there you have it, that's how you do history ... Ming's appeasing ways were suddenly made credible ...

Well the pond hasn't got time to go there, though it's wondrous how many issues might be swept under the carpet with this approach ...








But enough of the present, back to the history lesson ...






Why has the bromancer dragged all this out of the closet and given it a jolly good DLP airing? It seems obvious enough ...








And yet heroically the bromancer went on and on with his Commies under the bed routine ...









At this point the pond had run out of fresh Wilcox cartoons and was getting desperate. The pond wanted to hold its infallible Pope as a closer, but the bromancer's ranting cried out for another cartoon intervention. Usually the pond would let First Dog lie in his kennel, but why not a sample, with the full cartoon here?









Oh heck is it right for the pond to mutilate a work of art and miss out on the punchline?










And so back to the bromancer for a final gobbet in what everyone will surely agree has been an epic DLP rant ... and for those wondering about the grand success of the war in Vietnam, and the wildly dysfunctional and bewildering Australian participation in it,  there is a passing reference ...






After all that, with the DLP gloriously triumphant, it seems hardly fair to return to the actual present with an infallible Pope, but the journey has to be made ...

  1. Where to start. So all the atrocities committed by the US is OK by the Catholic gang at Murdoch enterprise. They will rewrite history about what labor stand for and never give credit for the how history has proved to be labor on the correct side of history. Hawke was given access to the secret services of America and informed how the USA would develop foreign policy. So how did Hawke become so trusted by the US intelligent agencies. A possible answer is he was provided with support by the rich and influential business captains that had access to the secret services of America. What we do not know is what the Jewish hierarchy in Australia played in providing this course of action. But what is not talked about by the Murdoch press is why did Fraser turn so ante American in his later life.

  2. Hi Dorothy,

    Good old etymology;

    bulldoze (v.)

    by 1880, "intimidate by violence," from an earlier noun, bulldose "a severe beating or lashing" (1876), said by contemporary sources to be literally "a dose fit for a bull," a slang word referring to the intimidation beating of black voters (by either blacks or whites) in the chaotic 1876 U.S. presidential election. See bull (n.1) + dose (n.). The bull element in it seems to be connected to that in bull-whip and might be directly from that word. Meaning "use a mechanical ground-clearing caterpillar tractor" is from 1942 (see bulldozer); figurative use in this sense is by 1948.

    Somebody should tell the Liar from Shire.

    1. Can anybody actually tell $loMo anything ? Even God fails that task.

  3. Goodness gracious but the Bro gave us a fantastic (ie full of fantasy) tale today. And ASIO, and Aussie internal "security" agents in general were just as honest as the day is long and gave every bit as much attention to the right wingnuts as to the left.

    But just a couple of specifics: "Mark Latham seemed for a moment [yes, just one tiny moment] so hostile to George W Bush that he might have imperilled the US relationship, which perception contributed to his defeat in 2004." Yep, there's at least two people who would have voted for Latham but didn't because of his "perceived" hostility to George W. So we went on to be a part of the glorious invasion of Iraq which, when all is said and done, only resulted in about a million or so deaths all up. Just the sort of thing to really cement the Aussie-US "relationship".

    Bro again: "Harvey Barnett, ASIO director under Hawke, reported in his memoirs that allies were 'aghast and concerned' that a grab for security service records was often the first step in a undemocratic coup. Whitlam never trusted Murphy ..." Oh wau, so Murphy's "raid" on ASIO HQ was the precursor to an "undemocratic coup". Just as well it didn't come off then, wouldn't have liked living under a Lionel Murphy dictatorial autocracy.

    And once more: "The three-volume official history of ASIO is nonpartisan, desperately keen not to make any political enemies for ASIO today and very undramatically written." And of course, it goes without saying, is totally accurate and honest in every single written word. Otherwise, the Bromancer would have told us, wouldn't he, because he personally has checked every word in it and can guarantee its pure honesty.

  4. Our Henry tells us of Gorbachev’s thoughts, that it was an enduring strength of the West that it faced the past as it was, not as it wanted it to be - but, but - provided there is no sense of shame in the accounts of the ‘as it was’.

    Well, aren’t the so-called ‘history wars’ in our little piece of the west prosecuted because one side will not hear of anything that might carry a stain of shame? I give you, for example, Windschuttle. There are many others of his ilk - cluttering the pages of ‘Quad Rant’ in particular, under the informed editorship of - Windschuttle.

    No surprise that our Henry has contributed to ‘Quad Rant’

    1. Is contributing to Quad Rant an act of seeing the past as he wanted it to be ? Besides, I don't reckon the Henrys and Windschuttles if this world feel any shame, I think it's just that they resent the idea that anyone should try to make them feel it.
