In which the Caterist brand cops a delicious withering and a new movie franchise is born ...


Actually, if the pond may be so bold, it has another conspiracy theory …

Last week the Caterists scribbled this …


And last night Media Watch retaliated, and the very next morning, a mere eponymous google produced this fine array of hits … and guess what was at the top of the Caterist brand?


And today there's no Caterist on view at the lizard Oz. 

Have they cryogenically frozen old Nick?

It's not often the pond mixes "withering" and "delicious" as Nick Cater's hypocrisy revived fond memories of old Nick's grandest folly, one that pinged the Speccie mob for over a cool half mill …



Oh it was too withering and too delicious and today old Nick is a no-show …

Not that it's a major worry because there's plenty of other reptiles out and about gambolling in the sun, and cheerfully making helpful suggestions … like Dame Groan …


… which reminded the pond of a letter forwarded to it by its lounge lizard friend, featuring Dame Groan …

 

The workings of a free market? 

Hmm, the pond is ever so glad that Jane raised that matter, because in the last few days the reptiles have been in a frenzy about free markets, and the herpetarium has come to resemble an ants' nest given a good poking with a Tamworth stick …

  

And where was Dame Slap when it came to the crunch? 

You know, the one that was wearing the MAGA hat and slipping out into the New York night to celebrate the arrival of the Donald?

Off trolling Barners …


And the Oreo, acting as a late replacement for the Caterist? Where was she, what was she doing?

Trolling the awards …


The pond thinks the lowest it could go on inclusion is to include the Oreo … so instead it turned back a day to nattering Ned, doing his finest chicken little routine …



The pond didn't expect a mention of Dame Slap's flirtation with the Donald, or the Chairman or Fox and Friends, or any of the other enablers in Murdoch la la land, who are now finally seeing some real world consequences for their delusional faith …


The assurances the Donald gave? But he's a brazen, shameless hustler and liar, a tin man with aluminium sidings, and a cheat and a multipole bankrupt, and his assurances are worth the ones he gave his creditors, and all this was known long before the GOP and the chairman and Fox jumped on board, and the WSJ abandoned its conservative economic principles …


What a mess the reptiles have helped make … while trading off on this sort of nonsense from The Economist …


That's just to prove there's a month of reading in one reptile edition provided free in the airport lounge. So much silliness, so little time …

And Adam was there too, moaning and sobbing …



By this time the pond had developed reptile fatigue … so for anyone interested, click to enlarge ..



Well, it's all coming down this week, and we'll see what happens, but the pond has a long memory …and if the Donald does what he's threatened to do, the reptiles have only themselves to blame … and Malware's remarkable faith in the Donald's word explains just why the NBN is fukt so comprehensively … as drop-outs remain a way of life for the pond ...

Fortunately, the pond's memory is also long enough to remember that the delicious, withering Rowe published this cartoon the other day...




And there's more deliciously withering Rowe here …delighted that the reptiles and the Donald have delivered a brand new movie franchise … and taking in so many elements, there's even a Murcuttian piece of galvo ...

  1. Oh deary me, is this the resurrection and rise of mercantilism - and in America ? But then, mercantilism is great - just ask Germany.

    However DP, there seems to be something missing here: a paean from the Bromancer praising his crush-target for both grace and wisdom and describing just how good Trump's policies are for America. And surely Dame Snap would second that. MAGA !

  2. I had imagined that an apology from the editor for last week's Caterist listicle of errors might take the place of his blathering today.

    Not to be?

    Might have to settle for the Beetrooter copping a good slap today.

    One can be too greedy.

    1. Oh I dunno, vc. We should all dream the impossible dream occasionally, shouldn't we ?

      Besides, an apology from a reptile editor for a stack of errors would require that the editor could actually recognise those errors when they slap him in the face. And his Wingnut Welfare salary depends on him not being able to do that.
