A few sheep short in the Homepaddock

Ele's fears realized - Greens under the bed



















"The Green Party trades on its association with the environment.

But that’s just a cover for its foundation of radical socialist economic and social policies which are anything but sustainable – economically, environmentally or socially."

Ele Ludemann goes bananas in the Homepaddock. Endless fun from the National Party hackette as she tries again and again to make John Key's over-heated-brain "Devil-Beast" lable stick to the Green Party.
Go Ele! You make fruit-loopy Colin Craig seem rock-solid normal.

An interesting approach to the argument that the Greens are fruit-loops. "But Colin Craig is weird, therefore we must not be."

Depending upon ones perspective, Colin Craig is actually fairly normal, just as the Greens think of themselves in that way.

Of course he is, Zen Tiger - I'm just ragging Ele. Her eye-twitchin', hand wringin' anti-Green post was an invitation to join the fray. My argument, of course, is that the Green Party, her MPs and staff, are not fruit-loops at all. Mrs Ludemann has posted repeatedly that they are devil-beasts, and really, I think she's helping the Green cause by doing so.
Go Ele!

Fair enough.

Y'know, a few weeks back some National party twat was retweeted on Ele's site (maybe it was your prickly mate, what'shisname) with some half-witted jibe about pop up toys and how certain people could be guaranteed to react in a predictable way to certain stimuli.

It occurred to me that National have already implemented the idea.

They have tame bloggers that are just like pop up toys.

The mention of the Greens seems to send Ele into a frenzy; I wonder if she wrote the "devil beast" thing. Certainly her writing style is well matched to Key's diction.

And it seems that sometimes National's favourite bloggers don't even need a stimulus at times. For example, as regular as clockwork there's a post that basically says "isn't irrigation a great idea." Seriously, you can almost set your clock by it. And of course while the post (the content is at best variations on a theme) has been thoroughly debunked as overly simplistic and missing the point, it's always back as mutton dressed as ever so slightly different mutton a couple of times a week.

It's much more interesting over at thepoliticalscientist.org and even better, most of the commentariat at rw blogs can't get past the first paragraph of any of the posts.

That political scientist chap's a lazer, isn't he!
Makes the blue-bloggers read like chumps.
I enjoyed your 'eagle has landed' post over at Every Tiny Straw very much. Very funny indeed.

Hell yeah, puddleglum rocks.
On a much less serious note, I'm so pleased you liked the post. It does bewilder me that the interpretation of things as important as Signs From God is left to an avowed atheist like me.

You'd think Mr Armstrong might have seen it, but no.

Very appropriate picture to illustrate this post Robert. It looks like Ele hasn't matured at all since she posted her 'na na' If the Greens oppose it, it must be good' comment last year. She can't be expecting to be taken seriously when she posts such childish nonsense.
I had a read over there, nothing new, still Cunliffe is deceiving people, global warming is made up etc. The usual right wing blah blah in the comments and "I was poor, so I'm an expert on everyone else's situation" Yawn.

Corokia - you are correct, in fact, the condition that Ele suffers from is worsening. I think she and KS are cross-infecting and with their unsavoury diet of Whale oil and Kiwiblob, there's not much hope of an improvement in their psychological health anytime soon.

Y'know, if I cared enough to be bothered to check I'd go to see what was up in the homepaddock. I've got dollar that says someone (Mr E I reckon it's you. Or Tracey) has gone "they're being mean over at (unnecessary derogatory term)'s blog" and worked themselves into a self-congratulatory frenzy, CG. When I am sufficiently bored I'll head back there, and stir. The inevitable is, after all, inevitable.
