Welcome to the 30th Carnival of Satire, where this week the commentary has 30 percent more clichés and mixed metaphors! Enjoy.
Ahistoricality continues his quixotic search for satire and finds this lovely bit Just Say Don’t Walk! (which doesn’t need the satire warning at the start, in our opinion).
Whoah! We just discovered that Madeleine Begun Kane at Mad Kane’s Notables has a nice Pair of Limericks For A Six-Pack Of Generals.
Dean Swift at A Swiftian Rant cracks open the books and takes The Harvard 8 behind the shed.
Tommy has Mr. Cruise learning The Finger Trick.
Peace Moonbeam returns to the carnival with a demented Whale Rescue.
This was inevitable. FIAR at Radioactive Liberty discovers that More Bloggers Leave Blogspot.
And now that the cows are coming home to roost, and the WH press corps has rediscovered their job, this suggestion from The Man will probably seem like a good idea to Dubya and crew: Bauer Replaces McClellan as Press Secretary.
J.C. Wilmore at The Richmond Democrat has the pithy “Empty Suit”.
Buckley F. Williams has parody with Frey Claims He Was Raped By Duke Lacrosse Team
Remulak MoxArgon presents the fourth Intergalactic Round-Table.
Richard Morris at Bread and Money tackles the soul-sucking weight-loss industry in Advice From the Experts. (Once again, the “this is satire” preamble is not really needed.)
Miriam, on the other hand, understands that you gotta just let it all hang out with Saints and Sinners.
Jack Cluth says Thank God for the brave jack-booted thugs at ATF who keep us safe from the threat of ninjas. Satire? Probably not, but it’s got ninjas and pirates.
Ferdinand T. Cat brings us a great satiric premise, if not the actual satire in Make Electricity, Not Missiles!
On a related note, AbbaGav has fake news with this future headline: ElBaradei appeals for more time after nuclear “tragedy”
And to take us out on a puuurfect note of parody, Aloysius Katz presents Religious notes: First Church of Catymology.
As always, thanks to everyone for continuing to make this a confused, contrarian carnival. Submit next week via this handy form, or or here; the COS is listed at the Ubercarnival, and at the Blog Carnival too. The deadline is midnight.
Another delicious carnival! Thanks for your tirelessly demented efforts.
amazing cruise figured out how to impregnate.
