The pond is always delighted when others share in its assorted fetishes - rubber, leather and Lloydie - and by golly Lloydie was a star last night on Media Watch here.
He really is the Crown of Thorns starfish of climate science.
And then there was a parade of assorted rogues and ratbags in the matter of the banks…
The AFR, which frequently outflanks the lizard Oz in its desire to suck up to the big end of town, scored very well up against the reptiles …
… though they really should have blamed fake news for the conspiracy theories.
The pond was however bitterly disappointed that the Caterists didn't make the cut.
Media Watch usually has a lot of time for the Caterists - remember the joy of Nick Cater's hypocrisy - and surely this effort on 14th August 2017 would have made a nice clipping ...

In its perp walk, its hall of shame, Media Watch spared a few kind words for acts of contrition, by the Bolter and others …
Well there was no way that the Caterists were going to walk back their shame - the Caterists and shame are like kero and water - and this day the Caterits were out and about, as saucy as you please, maintaining the rage about Bill Shorten as if nothing had happened …
But what of others?
By golly, Dame Groan is a humble sort of person, she'd be sure to walk things back, and what's this?
This very day she's scribbling about bankers?
The pond knew that Dame Groan would begin with a sizzling "In my view, there is every reason for a royal commission into banking, at least now that the Buddha has given me enlightenment" …
How deluded is the pond?
Well it probably passes as bank bashing of a kind … especially because the wicked banks apparently accept climate science (oh Lloydie, Lloydie, much more dissembling to do) and manage to sound like the ABC and pretend an interest in women … when we all know, thanks to Dame Groan, that "in my view, there is every reason for a royal commission into banking" …with their wretched diversions and subterfuges and puerile blather not fooling the Dame, not for a groaning second ...
Yes, the banks should follow Dame Groan and regain trust by admitting the errors of their ways …
The pond thinks we all get the drift in that lot of groaning… though it took a Rowe cartoon to discern the exact nature of the drifting and the listing … with more Rowe here ...
Dame Groan is a fine example of the dictum that "If you have no memory, you have no shame". Her ability to completely 'forget' any past lies, stupidities and failures - a talent also possessed by all of the reptiles to a greater or lesser extent - allows her to always act as though she's a complete innocent; and, of course, to lay claim to infallibility.
