In which the pond reverts to traditional signs of the cross Devine, and a splashing on of the holy water vitriole essence of Devine bigotry ...



After the 18C nausea the pond experienced at reptile HQ this day, emanating from the inner city Surry Hills 'leet, the pond was weirdly grateful to be able to return to the normal hateful homophobic Catholic fundamentalist bigotry of Miranda the Devine ...

What makes all the idle chatter about 18C and St Bill and suchlike sublimely perverse is the notion that somehow the Devine is currently prevented from being her usual strident offensive bigoted self ...

If only ...

And it gets even more peculiar, bizarre and astonishing, when the Devine somehow manages to cast herself as "liberal" compared to "illiberal" gays ...


The pond notes the name of the bank that is advertising on this bigoted homophobic column, and deeply regrets that it's been a long time since it held a Commonwealth bank account, so the chance of closing one has moved from zip to zilch ...

What's that? They want 15 bucks on Ebay for this sort of money box?


Woohoo, the pond is rich, rich beyond its wildest dreams ...

But wait, in the euphoria, a few might have missed that opening flourish by the bigoted, homophobic Devine ...


Yes, that's how to show your liberal credentials. Flash the Godwin's Law card ...

Start off by talking of a Rainbow Gestapo, referencing the Waffen SSM, in much the same way as a jolly, thoughtful piece about the Holocaust should always start off by noting the way that Jews are a Gestapo running the world (and the banking system).

You know, Jews as the Gestapo ... it makes so much sense.

Naturally this is all justified by an appeal to St Leak, heroic suffering martyr, and patron saint of homophobic bigots ...


Well when it comes to homophobic bigotry, the Catholic fundamentalist Devine is always willing to go the extra yard ...


There it is again: "the totalitarian nature of the rainbow lobby."

Of course it never occurs to the average bigoted fundamentalist homophobic Catholic that such language is offensive... which is why the pond is routinely free with the word "bigoted" when it comes to the Devine ...

What does the bible say? Do unto others as they do unto you?

Whatever, the good old ACL, former home of Allaby, routinely deploys that sort of Nazi totalitarian talk comparison, as with Lyle Shelton here ...


There's much more to learn from the living, because the art of bigotry never dies, and Shelton produced just the sort of reaction he was wanting, as can be found in the Star Observer here ...

The bigots need the attention, which helps explain the screeching bigotry of the Devine...


Oh the suffering of the Xians, and all they do is consign the gays to a lifetime of hellfire? And a generous dollop of bigotry and prejudice while on the planet, to give them a taste of the hellfire to come?

Where's the justice? Where's the fairness? Where's the tolerance?

Well, around this point, the Devine took a familiar turn, with bonus illustration of rampaging, persecuting zombie herds designed to terrify the average Devine reader ...


Well it wouldn't be a Devine column without a bit of Joyce bashing, as noted by Crikey here ...


As usual, there were upsides to be noted along the way ...




Only a fuckwitted toad from the deep north would appreciate the casual irony of slurring the Irish as jolly little leprechaun ... though on the basis of doing unto others what they do unto others, it means the pond is free to deploy talk of toads ...

As for the boycott talk, the pond is still waiting for an all-out assault on the haughty boycotting Houghton ...

Thanks be unto St Bill and his crown of thorns suffering ...

And so back to the end of that Crikey piece - spoiler alert - which ended this way ...


Well d'oh, but it gets better than that, it gets to be the Devine boasting of liberal tendencies up against the illiberal gays ... 

And we've seen what happens when the liberal Devine comes out to play ... so let's see how the final illiberal gobbet goes down ...


And that's how rabid it gets in the recycling ... "an employee of an unidentified organisation" ...

What, the Mardi Gras organising committee?

It's all in the service of a deeply entrenched bigotry and homophobia ... which leads to that risible final par about the squandering of public goodwill.

The Waffen Gestapo-evoking Devine has never had a scintilla of good will. She will stay bigoted and defiant to the last ...

Around this point, the pond usually pauses for a Pope cartoon, with this Pope's encyclicals offering an alternative to those of the rabid Devine ... (and more Pope here) ...



The mutton Dutton hit Fairfax this morning with the enormous stupidity of a postal plebiscite, here, with forced video of course, but the pond had a different sort of anxiety attack.

How could the Devine be certain that her bigotry had hit her fundamentalist readership mark?

The answer quickly became clear when a hapless Mark tried to make his mark ...


And there it all is ... Orwell and 1984 and North Korea, and even climate change ...

And all this under the supposed name of civility and liberal attitudes.

Well the pond has no time for civility or liberal attitudes. It follows in the path of St Bill and his 18C busting ways, and when the pond sees a bigot in full flight, it stops to point out the strange bird and marvel ...

Congratulations liberalism, it's not just the gays that have been splashed with some fragrant essence of Devine this day, you've score a liberal dose too ...

  1. Despite all the evidence to the contrary Miranda seems to think the ACL is Christian, and what is worse, conflates all of Christianity with the ACL.
    As someone married to an ordained Christian I can assure the tedious Ms Devine that there is a large contingent of Christians amongst her "rainbow bullies".
    It beggars belief, but I think she's dumber than her father (who was dumber than a sackful of hammers).

    1. I've always found it quite confounding to contemplate how somebody could end up being a 'Miranda Devine'. I mean she must have gone through her schooling and even, apparently, ended up obtaining a mathematics degree at Macquarie University and even worked for CSIRO for four years.

      So being "dumber than her father" while it may well be true, doesn't quite seem to explain it all. There's a deep and yawning chasm between Miranda and any semblance of reality and there's no clear evidence for when, or how, that chasm opened.

      But then, much the same could be said of just about all the Murdochrat reptiles I guess, and thankfully DP does say it, loud, clear and often.

    2. It's the eternal mystery, richer and deeper than transubstantiation, that keeps the pond fixated and entranced GB

    3. and that's pretty dumb - the first time I read a piece by Frank, I thought it was parody

  2. Psst, Bazza, your rhetorical devices are tempestuous.
