Reflections From a Murky Pond

So, the deranged pedophile that the Democrats installed into the White House was just in Japan, attending the G7 Summit. While there he decided to mumble and rant about “The Quad,” which is an alliance of America, Australia, India, and Japan aimed at keeping the four nations policies in sync to address threats in the Indo-Pacific and South China Sea regions – i.e., an Anti-China military-political-economic alliance.

I doubt many people in this audience or any other audience would’ve said that two years after being elected, I’d be able to convince India, Australia, Japan, and the United States to form an organization called ‘the Quad’ to maintain stability in the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea.

— Joe “Gaffemaster” Biden

Yeah, that almost sounds good. Hell, it almost sounds like the deserved crowing of an actual world leader. But, of course, it’s a bald-faced lie as one must expect from something like Biden. The truth is that Quad predates Biden’s residency in the White House, and it’s re-establishment being one of President Trump’s many unsung and unlauded international achievements.

But, the Quad Co-opter is going to drone on (pun intended) about how he did this and should be given credit for it.

Change is unavoidable. All epochs, periods, eras, and ages come to an end. Just as 360 million years ago the Carboniferous period ended, so too does it seem as if the New Carboniferous period – notable for its fixation upon CO2 – has come to a not-untimely end.

Then, this was never a sustainable era due to its chilling effects upon economies.

The ending of the New Carboniferous period will likely be dated from the moment that the Australian Government has abolished the carbon tax it had imposed in mid-2012.

Australia’s recent vote to repeal its tax on carbon dioxide emissions is a setback to establishing a similar charge in the U.S., both sides in the debate agree.

Australia started taxing carbon in 2012, one of about 40 jurisdictions to do so, before reversing course last week and becoming the first country to repeal the penalty.

The repeal will send international shock waves ahead of Global Warming talks next year, when major economies like China, India and America will consider global greenhouse targets beyond 2030. Given that Australia is similar to America in its energy-intensive lifestyles and industries, the repeal makes it highly unlikely that the US will choose to try taxes CO2 emissions.

The Warmists are, of course, gnashing their teeth in shock, outrage, and hatred over Australia’s repeal of the its carbon tax. Like the giant arthropods of the first Carboniferous period, they’re doomed to extinction. Unlike them, however, they can see the ending of the age and of themselves.

There are so many dumb ways to die and mankind seems to make a habit of finding them. One result of this is that Melbourne Metro Trains produced a public service announcement video called “Dumb Ways to Die” as part of a campaign aimed at preventing train-related deaths in Victoria, Australia.

The song is performed by Tangerine Kitty, who are Ollie McGill from The Cat Empire and Emily Lubitz of Tinpan Orange. And yes, if you’re so inclined, you can purchase this song on iTunes.

Lady Gaga (@ladygaga) seems genetically predisposed towards garish and outlandish outfits, but this latest one may take the prize as the oddest one as of yet.

A New Outfit For Lady Gaga?

OK, OK – Just kidding. 😉 In a similar vein to Donald Trump’s rogue toupee, this is actually a Pink Underwing Moth (Phyllodes imperialis) from the Springbrook National Park in Queensland, Australia.

But who knows? If Ms. Germanotta sees this post – not a total impossibility – perhaps it’ll give her some inspiration. 😉

I have a particular fondness for women with phat butts and thick thighs but I also like thinner or rangier babes with good muscle tone and definition in their legs. Rich curves and sleek musclature are a damn fine and sexy combo.

Apparently some elements of the Australian fashion industry agree with me and they’re doing their “best” to help women out…

So for about $95 USD ($88 AUD) my wives and I can live out all my Hellraiser and sexy anatomy class fantasies. Alternatively, the two of them  could make “sexy” PSAs explaining that you only get on a bike dressed like this at a bike show.

So Sexy, So…Skinless? File this under WTF but kind of cool.
