Welcome to the first Carnival of Satire for 2008, the Light-Year of the Alien. Basically, the blogosphere is like Manhattan in the Men in Black movies. Sure, we pretend that we’re normal people, but bloggers everywhere are freaks, exhibitionists, and certainly extraterrestrial in nature. Sometimes, we’re even satirical.
Daniel Brenton blows the lid off Operation Majestic Twelve in the second episode of The Round Files: The George W. Bush MJ-12 Briefing
David Mills makes good use of his audio editing software and presents this anti-Semitic rant from Ann Coulter. (I mean, come on, for sure she’s an alien.)
Madeleine Begun Kane believes there is an alien conspiracy in Arkansas, and she Won’t Graciously Submit To Mike Huckabee.
Brent Diggs and the good people at Ominous Comma Industries have a new product for us meta-galactic mutants looking for love, promising: Copious Comments – Guaranteed.
Thomas K presents MUTE Politics. Surely there’s an Earth drinking game somewhere in here?
Sammy Benoit is channeling some kind of Ambrose Bierce-like ET in this Middle East Peace RAW SEX TALK.
gameguy presents the news that Cheney’s Biscuits Are Burning.
Usiku presents an alien’s perspective on Understanding Underwriting
Keith_R tackles the surreal (off-world) language of the business world in: The Top 12 Phrases I Hate in 2007.
And while the jet warms up, Dan Johnson figures that Gift Cards are Ruining The Holidays and has reasons why. (Just replace the word “gas” with the word “space” in this post, and you’ll see he’s an alien too.)
And that’s it for the alien edition! If you have some satire to share, please consider submitting next time. Thanks to these fine folks for helping us with webby-stuff: the Blog Carnival for their form; and the listings at the Ubercarnival, the Blog Carnival, and the good denizens of Planet Humor-Blogs too. A special thanks to Garrette for his toothy alien.

Mark —
Thanks for including me in today’s edition of your Carnival of Satire. I’m glad you noted that this was the second episode — I have to number my “Round Files” because the last one was so long ago I would have thought this was the first one.
Actually, I’m a little surprised I even remembered to number it. I keep getting my memory erased by the Men In Black because I’m constantly finding stuff I shouldn’t see. I just know it.
