YOU VILL OBEY

Peter Garrett is very worried about greenhouse gases. They’ve evidently turned him into some kind of pantomime German.

  3. “Scientist” Flannery?  Now what kind of scientist is he again?

    (See, Pogria, I didn’t even try.)

  4. Exactly WHAT conditions is bone-dome planning to impose upon the Australian population if he gets a gig as chief tree witch doctor later this year? What’s the bet Flannelly heads up the Dept as Environment Secretary?

  5. O man here I go again. For those who just tuned in, yes Peter Garret’s politics are absurd and tending toward the totalitarian, but let’s not forget: Midnight Oil’s first four albums were fucking incredible. Easily the most amazing, powerful and innovative rock music Australia has ever produced. He was in fact a great singer. I even liked their lyrics! (Though the irony of “no one goes out back. That’s that.” I’m sure is lost on him as we are just now opening up the dysfunctional no-go zones of indigenous communities).
    Anyway kids. Great music up until “Bed’s are burning”. After that, pap.
    Now back to the bagging.

  6. #3, salty,

    I went away and cried after that one.

  7. This might help.

  8. Before he knows it, he will be deeply concerned, and Peter Garrett could be Secretary General of the UN!

    He’s an ologist, not a scientist.

  10. though I’m not sure which…

    proct? (into self examination)
    copraph? (a new one, but works for me)

    any more ideas?

  11. What I find very effing worrying Peter is that a dork like you could be a Government minister soon.

  12. #7, Oh, thanks for that.  I needed a good laugh tonight (we just found our cat, after a 30 hour absence). 

    That movie is worth watching just to see Dick Shawn’s performance.  He was brilliant.

  13. Pantomime German? “Hogaaaaan! There is no escape from carbon offset scams!”

  14. #9, kae,

    What the hell is an ologist?  Someone who walks around saying “O! Logic?”

    I’d look it up but I don’t give a rat’s fanny.  I figured he would be another “scientist” who is giving us all the benefit of his ignorance of the particular science being discussed.  It seems that there are always those who never make it above “lab rat” in their own area, so attach themselves to the junk science craze de jour, which almost always means something within environmentalism.

  15. By-the-bye, I DO know what an “ologist” is, as far as it goes.  It was more fun otherwise.

    Posted by saltydog on 2007 10 13 at 06:40 AM • permalink

  16. He’s actually a paleontologist.

    He studies bones of long dead things.

    But there’s not much money in that.

    Posted by kae on 2007 10 13 at 06:44 AM • permalink

  17. Oh, an old ologist.

    When I read that he was merely a “scientist,” as opposed to say, a climatologist, I figured he lacked the proper bona fides.

  18. Salty, I think he’s a fool, but I don’t know if there’s an ology for that.

    No, he’s not a fool. It’s the fools who listen to him. Perhaps he’s the leader of fools, somewhat like the Pied Piper of Hamelin? A sidekick to AlGore?

  19. Flannery’s not an ologist, he’s a cologist.
    A very pale cologist.
    You might say he’s a wan cologist.

  20. Well deduced, Mr Capitalist.
    That’s gotta be the ologist for him!

  21. Achtung, halt!

  22. I think Peter Garrett should eat more.  His bones are threatening to break through his skin.  And that would be scary.

    Posted by RebeccaH on 2007 10 13 at 11:35 AM • permalink

  23. Does Mr Garret qualify?

    Cheers

  24. A coprolite wan cologist.  We’ve now attained definition.
