Wry & Dry #6-27
Has Melongate hit DEFCON 2? JD Vance confuses a corporate favour with America’s foreign policy. It was Trumpster’s undetectable hairpiece that caused the decoy flight. Croesus Turnbull’s RDS returns, again. And the Monoculture Party has a mono country foreign policy.

Wry & Dry #17-26 Grim Jim didn’t smile. Begging bowl. Trump goes east.
Whilst Uncle Albo was lapping up the accolades for sitting next to his new best-buddy at a dinner at the APEC summit in South Korea, Treasurer Grim Jim was taking a beating for the latest inflation data.
Wry & Dry #14-26 So far, so good. Hasty Hastie. “To lose four is carelessness.”
The widespread conflating of the joy of the hostages’ release with Trumpster’s Nobel Peace Prize Plan (Gaza Chapter) is disappointing. There are at least three submerged logs. Meanwhile, Liberal wannabe prime minister Hastie continues to focus on the future, his own. To the cheering of the far-right echo chamber. And France’s government stumbles like a giraffe on roller skates on ice.
Wry & Dry #3-26 Albo goes the full tourist. The dropping penny. Public holidays.
Difficult to decide who enjoyed more adulation this week. Albo who didn’t seek it, but got it. Or Trumpster, who did, but didn’t get it.
Elsewhere, France’s PM wants to slash two public holidays – where is Tom Cruise when needed? And would celebrity add glamourazzi to the AFL Grand Final.
Wry & Dry #2-26 Mr. Albo goes to Beijing. Interest egg on face. Liberal idiots.
Albo’s plan to boost his lack-lustre frequent flyer miles account after the election was shredded by Trumpster’s fleeing the G-7 in Alberta. Albo also has no desire to meet Trumpster in the White House; why risk meeting Trumpster in front of the world’s cameras, with a couple of 60 Minutes-type gotcha questions ready to be fired?
Better to take a 7-day, all expenses paid (including tips), luxury but twin-share accommodation trip to China. Of course, it will be a week of eating three Chinese meals each day. An Ozempic homecoming for Albo?
Wry & Dry #36-25 Gnats incompetence reveal. AAA loss leads to ZZZ. Bre-enter.
The flat-earthers in the National Party have locked Albo into the Lodge until 2037. This week’s great schism of the Coalition mirrors the ALP split of 1955. And that sandpit fight kept the ALP out of office for another 17 years, until Whitlam gave the treacherous Billy McMahon the DCM in 1972. But by this morning the Gnats might have changed their minds.
