Political commentary is not my forte. Even so, that American Lady on Q&A was asked who she would be still afraid off in America, answered oh so sweetly, “well, of course those priests.”
This was apropos of previous comments about her saying that fear has overtaken all common sense when it comes to letting children grow up without being scared witless and imposing too many restrictions.

Couldn’t have put it better myself. Not an ounce of leadership anywhere in his waddling body.

You know, guys, I have a funny feeling in my tummy-tum that Tony Ballony will find “leadership” all too hard and too much for his tiny brain and not long from now, we’ll hear him utter the words, “decided to retire from the leadership… to spend more time with my family…” or words to that effect; and it will not be me who is denigrating this utterance when it comes from people who are sincere but it will be Tony Ballony because he’ll not be resigning for those reasons. He’ll simply be overcome by the task of backtracking and mumbling excuses for his gaffes. The more you lie, the stupider you are, the harder your work!
The Greeks have a saying to the effect of: Those with little brain do lots of running around.
I see him getting more and more exhausted, not by the job itself but by his own inadequacies.
Let’s see if he can vacate the little throne before he manages to destroy the throne room.

Clearly not up to the job of being a leader of anything. A little bit mad, vain, vicious and insensitive. The kind of person that those around him find difficulty in hanging in there until he goes away. Yes, even a little bit creepy and quite a lot heartless.
But who would replace him ? Julie ? Andrew? Christopher ? Joe ? The list of non-leaders is endless.

That line-up of non-leaders is among the more well known of queues for the common cold, surely. Thank you. I am entirely inspired by everything that has been said before I got here to put in a pennoworth. Rabble, rabble.

Imagine the troop’s delight when they get up in the morning and find Tony in their ranks. Nearly as exciting as finding a polywaffle in the pool.

Yes, the puffed up chest and a gait that looks like you’ve been riding a horse for a month non stop.

Now that’s one species of mullett I never did care to fish for Big M… though I do hear they’re far from an endangered species around Bondi…

Bondi speaks to me because my brother pinched an amount of sand -’bout a kid’s playbucket – for their Christmas tree and took me along with him running by his side to keep up and him telling me how he would get into trouble if anybody knew about the sand. 🙂
