In which the pond takes a break but offers up a Leyonhjelm...

The pond has been unavoidably called away on early morning business and will be gone for much of the day, and so the pond lacks the usual crisp frozen freshness of a snap-frozen stew of peas and reptiles ...

No doubt there are reptiles out and about this day - it would be too much to hope that the failing business model finally collapsed the one day the pond wasn't around to celebrate its fall.

But as a place holder, the pond thought it worth putting up a little of yesterday's business at the lizard Oz, which might otherwise have passed unnoticed ...



Indeed, indeed, the pond has always suspected that gays and lesbians - even the butch ones - are fragile pansies, deeply unworthy and useless and unwilling to do a decent debate fought on manly terms using manly language, with many manly epithets flung about ...

After all, a man's a man that can score a front page ...


And the same goes for the fuzz. Let the cops lie on the side of the road and bleed to death, like the squealing pigs they are ...

And so to a calm, measured debate, with a calm set of talking points ...


Actually not all the feedback from Ireland was that it was a positive experience overall ...



(more here).

Oh harden the fuck up you fragile folk, and debate the subject like a real man, in a manly way. Where's the harm in a little lie or three, a misrepresentation here, and a distortion there ...

After all, that's what free, open vigorous debate is for ...

Look, if you just had a good gun and a genetically distorted vegetable, there could be a terrific argument to be had ...


Hmmm, that sounds a little precious and genteel, almost fragile. Has the good senator suddenly developed a thin skin, with this talk of obnoxious slurs that would make a homophobe blush?

Are they as rich a set of obnoxious slurs as calling out a mangy female dog? Are they as currish as getting agitated about the suffering of angry white men?

After all, many would think Mark Kenny was just being a tad too literal when he suggested the good Senator was a boorish, supercilious know-all with the empathy of a besser block, though the pond is aware that many thought Kenny had seriously defamed besser blocks, which are, after all, useful, especially if students want to build a bookcase for their LPs (well at least the deeply silly ones who want to live in the 1970s) ...

...the Libertarian senator said he was not affected by the criticisms. "I'm only insulted or offended by people I respect, so it didn't make me feel anything," he said. Mr Kenny has provided a statement to the ABC accusing Senator Leyonhjelm of "rank hypocrisy". "This vexatious stunt not only proves the point of my piece, it betrays the Senator's disregard for the real work of the Human Rights Commission," he said. (ABC here).

Uh huh, but if you've got a thick skin, why suddenly make reference to obnoxious slurs that would make a homophobe blush?

The answer's obvious enough. As a gadfly blowfly independent, the only way that the good Senator can attract attention to himself is by dragging out his recipe for resentment and divisiveness, and railing against useless greenies and hopeless Labor and fragile gays ...

He is in short, the new Steve Fielding, envious of Nick X ...



How else to earn maintain the Rambo image celebrated by The Spectator?

Thank the long absent lord the reptiles have offered this Rambo a home so that he can bake his divisive cake yet again ...


He's not joking!
