PUPPET TO BE MANIPULATED

Big local news from AAP:

A life-sized puppet of NSW Premier Morris Iemma will feature in a climate change protest by Greenpeace activists at parliament house today.

Protesters will tell politicians that Mr Iemma is nothing but a “coal industry puppet who is fuelling climate chaos” when they gather in Macquarie Street this morning.

Just in case you missed that crucial information in the first paragraph, here’s the third paragraph:

A puppeteer dressed in corporate clothes will be manipulating a life-sized puppet of the state leader.

(Via Alan R.M. Jones, who tomorrow will wear a suit and go to work)

UPDATE. Paco:

Climate chaos; tell me about it! I was shoveling snow from around the saguaro cactus in front of my home in Richmond, VA, and as soon as I finished, a fissure opened in the earth and a steam geyser sprayed hot water all over the place. All that work for nothing! If it hadn’t been for the fact that torrential rains had created so much humidity that the doors to the gun cabinet had swollen shut, I probably would have shot myself. Instead, I just chilled a few beers in the frozen goldfish pond, grilled some burgers over the creek full of magma that flows by the back fence, and settled down to enjoy the bright green sunset.

  7. The big puppet has become the unmistakeable identifier of the retard. Look for them everywhere.

  12. A puppeteer dressed in corporate clothes ...

    First time he’s even come near such clothes, I suspect.

  15. Well, it is global chaos.  There are nuts all over the globe who are running around in circles because they can’t decide whether the climate is getting colder or warmer.  I expect heads to start exploding any minute now. 

    Global cooling is back, by the way; there’s a new documentary out to that effect, anyway. 

    Paco, you’re a sketch.

  16. #3 Paco .. are you sure that the doors to the gun cabinet hadn’t rusted shut?

  17. I expect heads to start exploding any minute now.

    The energy released by that will only be adding to the global warming, you know.

  18. Surely the Iemma from Lakemba puppet should have Hilaly’s hand up his arse? You know, giving him a good sheik.

  19. #16: No, not unless it was some of that Israeli “insta-rust”. I’m pretty sure it was the humidity. You see, we had a neighborhood party the night before with a Palestinian theme (“An evening of ululating and shooting at the stars!”), and nobody else on the block had any guns, so I handed mine out, and the next morning it rained hard and the doors to the cabinet - made from bootleg rainforest wood - had swollen pretty badly.

  20. So that’s where all the bullets came from.  I was an hour picking those things up.  Next time aim more toward South Carolina, if you don’t mind.

  21. I’m sorry but never crap a craper!

    I don’t know why I like to call Mr Iemma, Mr Lemon but I do !

  23. Here in California the RINO governor Ahnold is said to be prepared to sign strict new emissions controls into place, desperate to secure his place in history as the founding father of the California Depression of 2007. 

    So who needs a Green Party?

  24. Funny, Morris Iemma is so wooden and expressionless, I always thought he WAS a puppet, with Sussex Street pulling the strings.

  25. I called the Gov’s office yesterday, Richard, and told him (well, not him, you understand) that with the stroke of that pen, he loses my vote (wasn’t gonna vote for him anyhow, but didn’t feel I needed to mention that). At least, they say, he’ll veto DLs for guest workers without borders—again. I’m a little worried about the universal health care thing though. Worried that I won’t get the F outta here before all the equity in my home disappears.

  26. Since Richard and Kyda have mentioned California maybe this is not too far off topic. An ABCTV announcer today referred to ‘California’s Baja Peninsula’.
    How did Arnie rip off the Mexicans like that without us hearing about it first here?

  27. So much for me advising Andrea to move to Virginia, paco.  I don’t think the geyser would put her off, but the magma certainly would. 

    (Sorry, Andrea, but I couldn’t get into your blog to put my 2 cents in).

  28. #23: Richard, I also read that California is considering passing a version of HillaryCare. Arnold’s not planning on sighing off on that, is he?
