In which the pond sticks to the reptile headlines ...

Sorry George, the pond is deeply sorry, but did you just scribble "it's leadership"?

Did you really mean to type "A lot of that rests with the Turnbull govt, it is leadership and policy direction"?

Or did you mean the possessive "its", and like so many before you, got caught up in the twittering illiteracy of the dangling apostrophe that shows why conservatism is dead to the core of its grammatical stupidity?

And with that put aside - its so hard to deal with this sort of thing on a daily basis - the pond realised that its almost impossible on some days to deal with the chaos and confusion in reptile la la land, and the only way to cope was to stick with the headlines ...

No Oreo this day for much-needed distraction, and need to go deep, just stay on the surface humming "om" ... keep it to northern George level, its the sure way to enlightenment.

May be best situated?

Oh dear, best stick to the headlines, cruise right past that foolish Bleagh fop, and head straight for nattering "Ned's" take ...

Oh dear, death by tedium beckons ... but is there an ironical juxtaposition in the house?

Strong week v. brutal messages, and all within the week and a blink of a reptile eye ... 

Even worse, not only did the reptiles serve up nattering "Ned", it was such a small portion ...

There you go, another dollop of insightful analysis from the Chicken Little handwringer ...

Or could it be just the usual paranoia and hysteria, though the panting could only last a few pars ... and is as useful and as meaningful a contribution as can be expected from the goose that once gave unto the world this outstanding insight ...

And so, in lieu of a cartoon, a couple of tweets to start the meme day ...
