Things are getting a little confusing out there.



"Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull is sent deep into the jungle of the United States of America to try and smooth things over with newly elected President Donald Trump and quickly discovers how things get… ‘confused out there’. Huw Parkinson explores this harrowing tale."

Snatched from Ozfille.

Meanwhile on the home front, the serpent is indulging for the last few days of the Freak Show that is the Fringe Festival.

16 shows in 16 days. Such decadence.

The US election is just too distracting. So many tasty morsels, such a bitch fest on steroids and only 24 hours in the day to feast on the feral beastliness.

But the most impressive thing about the Donald is not his happy friendly smiling face or even those itsy bitsy little hands. It's his magnificent mind. It's his Brilliant Brainssssss
Simply the best Brainsss ever.

I never thought I would see the day of having something good to say about a certain Benedict XVI alias one Josef Ratzinger

Way back in April 2005 when the position last became vacant was hoping that God's Rottweiler would get the job. For entertainment value as much as his uncanny resemblance to a certain Star Wars senator. It seems that the Machievellian monster had a cute and cuddly side after all. He was a bit old fashioned but it was not quite the Spanish Inquisition that I'd been expecting (and secretly hoping for)
It turns out that he was not on a power trip after all. Otherwise they would have to snatch the prize out of his cold dead hands. But here he is giving it away. That truly takes humility and wisdom

Now why would an agnostic pagan give a Ratzi's arse about who has got the top job in the Vatican? Aside from having been brought up on the Dark Side, all the Papal history is a veritable feast of political intrigue. It's got all the ingredients for lots of juicy conspiracy theories too. Smells, bells, smoke, lots of shonky behind the scenes deals and conspiracies aplenty. What's not to love?

Only a conservative could be so radical. But the real reason the serpent is so so excited is quite simple. Not making any predictions like last time but purely wishful thinking. It would be worth doing deals with the devil if that's what it takes to get George the job. Pell for Pope. It would be just perfect
All those nasty horrid political satirists would be out of a job. It would be up there with Henry Kissinger or Barack Obama getting the Nobel Peace Prize

Looks like there's lots of Aussies out there waving the flag and patriotically promoting Cardinal Pell as positively the perfect candidate for Pope

Richard Dawkins would be ever so delighted. It would make his atheistic mission ever so easier and the whole world would get to see the wonders of Pell's marvelously profound and logical mind

Oh and while on the subject of Rottweilers and things German here's a cute little snippet found while lurking in Radio National land

'Wie Geht's, Y'all!'

Izzie loves the Texan accent and once again it wins hands down in this linguistic showdown

Had always thought that all the ethnic Germans in the USA lived around Pennsylvania and the 13 colonies. Looks like they got around. Must got check out the German Ocker accents in the Barossa Valley. Maybe they'd say stuff like 'Wie geht's old mate?

Recently seen a stand up comedian doing a show on "Five steps to being German"
He had to be a fraud as he turned up ten minutes late. But he had lived abroad a long time and had an Irish accent so all was explained
It was seriously politically incorrect and there was lots of Hitler jokes. But that is a tale for another day. But it was infinitely more fun than another excuse for a comedian who spent all his time proving his anti racist credentials but just did not bother being funny.

It is a source of great disappointment that the recent claims by some opposition politician that Julia Gillard's cabinet resembles the scenes of the last days of Downfall did not result in some sick and wicked new parodies.
Izzie could watch them for hours. Bruno Ganz is a genius

Izzie's been so busy watching creepy adverts and neglected to do a proper post about the upcoming event on Saturday

Firstly the juiciest Julia of all. It takes 40 seconds to get there but is worth the wait ;)




It's nice to see that even the Taliban are watching the antics in Oz





Oh the joys of Jerkchoices!

One sad serpent

The election advert embargo started at midnight.
At least there's Cyberia and Youtube to keep getting our fix

Driver's Seat




The Liberal Lunatics have taken over the asylum

So so enjoying the dirty and disgusting depths that this year's election campaign have descended to. Only ten more days of depravity

The Time Warp - snatched from Ozfille

Izzie is so so enjoying the adverts for the Oz election campaign. Pity that none of the good ones are from the parties themselves

And this one wasn't even on Gruen last night. Nearly giggled to death with the feast of politics geekery

Much better than that idiotic aftershave advert




But then again making libraries cool and sexy is a bad bad idea.
It's the last bastion of civilization against jocks and jerks
