PLANET ABLAZE

Hysterical warmybaby Bill McHarg drools his way through nearly three minutes of earth-burning paranoia. John Howard’s planet-wrecking machine (shown at the 1.40 mark) is beautiful, however.

  1. I could only watch a little of it.

    Doomed. We’re all doomed. Austrlia’s stuffed. The world’s aflame. (Does he really expect anyone to take the amateurish video accompanying his serious sermon seriously? Seriously?)

    (Higher interest rates also prove that we’re stuffed. Of course. FIVE interest rate rises…)

  3. Hold up there, a minute, McHarg! I don’t remember giving you permission to use the marketing video for the Polyarmed Arboreal Chopping Obliterator in your campaign ad. I’ll have you know that our attorney, Ring M. Drye, Esq., is a prison trustee and can get access to all of the necessary materials he needs to sue you right down to your last solar panel. I don’t care how many cartons of cigarettes it takes, we will press this matter to the fullest extent of the law. As Drye would (and will) say, “govern yourself accordingly.”

    He got a bit (more) confused at the end, not kowing whether to call it ‘global warming’ or ‘climate change’, so he ended up with ‘global climate change’. Idiot.

  7. I couldn’t be bothered listening to the soundtrack so perhaps someone could kindly explain to me what the green pulses coming from the middle of Australia that cooled the planet actually are?

    Just from the visuals the story I gleaned was that Fox Mulder had uncovered a secret UFO base in the middle of Oz and that tachyon pulses from the UFO have a coolering effect on the Earth.

    Did I misread this?

  8. What a lovely machine. I MUST HAVE ONE.

    I also very much enjoyed the scene where Howard shoveled cabbages into a furnace. The mad fool! Now the cabbages are ANGRY!

  9. If only Howard cared enough to do something!

    Burning money is a good start. It’s made of plastic, so the sooner we melt it down and get rid of money to advance our country, the better!

    Or something.

  31. Penalty units are a sneaky way of setting fines for offences.  They just define the fines in the various acts in terms of penalty units, and then separately define what a penalty unit is.  Then, instead of having to revise a whole lot of acts and regulations to stiff us for more money, they just change the definition of the penalty unit.  More money (for them) for less work - a politicians dream!

    All images are of the Earth. They clearly don’t give a rats arse about other minority planets like this ‘un.

    They would just as soon stand by and let Uranus fry. Shame on you Planet First!

    If aid is such an issue for you and Australia’s contribution is so pathetically low, you’re a millionaire, put your money into it. Don’t perform some awareness raising concert and donate some of the money from that, put your OWN money into it. C’mon, sunshine. You can do it.

  51. #47.  Why is it these people never follow through on their premises?  If they think the world has too many people in it, why don’t they off themselves and set a good example for the rest of us poor besotted idiots?  It’s always somebody else who’s got to sacrifice themselves for the good of ..., well, I guess it would be for their good, since they don’t seem to include themselves in the equation.

    No, that’s pretty much what it was about.  Which reminds me, it’s time to send Agent X around to misdirect Mulder.  Please tell Nick to get his menacing black man persona on.  And not to give out so many clues this time!  This is not I’ve Got A Secret.

    Geeze, that’s a bit discriminatory isn’t it?  What about the “yella fellas”?  Hmmmm?  Nothing to say?  Hmmmm?

    Actually, I’m not sure about all that stuff myself.  I think it relates to discrimination against part Chinese Aboriginals by Aboriginals who aren’t part Chinese. 

    Aaaah!  Racism!  Fun for everyone who isn’t entirely descended from (or doesn’t identify with) proper whitefellas!

    By the way paco, that damn contraption of yours is malfunctioning.  Last week two of them chased me around the VRWC logistics base.  One finally caught me and the other proceeded to cut off some of my beautiful hair.  I look like Alfafa now.  I certainly hope you can fix them.

    You’d be a whitefella too.

    Don’t be too sure.  My lot started off here in Tasmania before the 1850s so I’m suspecting (hoping for?) an Aboriginal connection.  If I can find one, and do all the identification stuff as necessary, then my kids will be able to go to university for as long as they want and get paid to do so.  I suspect the search will fail but, what the hell!  Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
