I seem to be suffering from PCSS (that’s Post Continuous Satire Syndrome) further exacerbated by the suspension of belief that this Lieberal Government can continue to make gaffe after gaffe, usually by their Prime Winky Dill, but also increasingly by others who you’d imagine, after watching their leader make an absolute dill of himself, would be ensuring that they had switched on the intelligent part of their brain before putting their mouth into gear. Anyhow, the PCSS has left me bereft of any bits of clevery to annotate onto appropriate graphical bits. Luckily, That Bloody Rat, and a couple of his hangers-on have willingly barged their way in with their jaded view of Homo sapiens (ssps politicus). I leave you in their capable paws!
Rat was pleased to see that our PWD was still getting in there and giving “gaffe prone” his absolute best shot.
That not to be outdone, Prissy Chrissy Pyne declared himself a ‘fixer’ of the first order.
It was noted that our employer class were still absolutely keen to resurrect that ‘dead, buried and cremated’ Work Choice thingy.
And the Prime Winky Dill had some good advice for his Members of Parliament. And that was to KISS: “Keep It Simply Stupid”. Good advice from one who knows!
And naturally, our fiscal wizard Joe (Eleventy) Hockey obligingly supplied a simple dose of irrationality.
We are also now blessed with another of That Bloody Rat’s friend Rattus eruditis, a more learned compatriot who thought that a Winston Churchill quote could aptly apply to Christopher Pyne.
That Kevin (Plotboy) Rudd provided a very nice fit to a quotation by another dead-un, Abraham Lincoln. It’s amazing how quotes from the past apply equally appropriately to the modern day, isn’t it?
And that quotes by senior ministers in the Abbott government indicate (in the nicest way of course) what, exactly, said senior minister thinks of said Prime Minister.
And finally we introduce one more player to the game, Rattus politicus. For his first outing he’s very determined to keep it brief with just a Five Word Slogan!
Which leaves us with pigs! Pigs on the wing. Pigs in pokes. Pigstys. Pigs in shit. Or just Pigs in Lipstick.
And there you have it . . . . . . . .!
Except for;
AFTERTHOUGHT: If you don’t punish politicians and their parties for lying to you, you are predetermining your treatment as a fool!
POSTSCRIPT: All characters appearing in this work are entirely, and amazingly, fictitious. Any resemblance to real persons, living, dead or in a zombie like state, is purely coincidental with an exceptionally high probability of being the construct of a deluded mind trying to grasp the true meaning of the political unreality of Australian politics, al la NO Coalition! We can only gaze upon such greatness with wonderment!
I was going to make a reference to ‘King Rat’ but even I couldn’t be so swinish! 🙂 🙂

Breaking news! The entire front bench of the government have announced that instead of ‘The Passion’, this year’s Easter pageant will feature a revival of the 1971 film ‘Willard’. You remember Willard? It’s a heart warming story of a boy and his pet rat. An LNP spokesman who would only give his name as ‘Ben’ assured the press gallery that the play would feature a live cast. “No need to waste money on special effects or make-up, everybody in the party is coming as themselves” he said.

LOL! Maybe a rename to “Rats in the Ranks”? Or even “Rank Rats”! 🙂
