We’re a bit rushed around The Skwib this week, so we’ll get straight to the posts, starting with Elisson at Blog d’Elisson who has inked up a classic in Cartoon Jihad.

Joan Conde at Mamacita sets it and forgets in in Nominations for The Popeils: 2006 Infomercial of the Year Awards.

Lordsomber at The Pungeoning has Good Advice: Look Both Ways.

J.R. Kinnard at Don’t Floss With Tinsel presents ‘Garden of Eden’ Stirs My Bloodlust

Ferdinand T. Cat at Conservative Cat takes this Deadeye Dick thing to its logical conclusion in Cheney Invites Dean on Hunting Trip.

Madeleine Begun Kane at Mad Kane’s Notables has a lyrical time of it in Cheney Misfires — Big Time! & Other Political Verse. Continue Reading →

Unholy satire awaits in this 20th edition of The Carnival of Satire. We are somewhat concerned about our title graphic, given the touchy nature of certain religious groups, but we are free speech proponents. (Be thankful we are not so free as to use this picture.) Let us know if you like the pull-quotes introducing some of the posts. We tried not to steal all the funniest lines.

We’ll start off with an invocation of thanks to Ahistoricality for digging up some damned satire. This moment of science: Metabolism of Evolution Information in the Blogosphere is hilarious (you may want to click on this view and zoom in). And this uberspoof from The Poor Man Institute, Cornhole Classic is also great, though General Kang thought it was a little too “on the nose”.

FIAR at Radioactive Liberty inspired our title graphic with Get Ready!.

J.R. Kinnard at Don’t Floss with Tinsel preaches to the fake (and demonic) news choir with Bush Unveils Plan To Invade Cat-Man.

“While Democrats voiced their opposition to the President’s intentions, they agreed Cat-Man was, indeed, creepy.”

Remember Terri Schiavo? We must have been in a persistent vegitative state, because we missed this un-hallowed post the first time around. Well, My Living Will was brill(iant). Thanks to GrrlScientist at Living the Scientific Life for healing us! Be-aow!

“Under no circumstances shall the members of the White House, or federal or state legislatures enact a special law to keep me on life support equipment. It is my expressed wish that these boneheads mind their own damn business by actually doing something to improve the health, education and welfare of Americans who aren’t yet in a persistent vegetative state.”

At Mean Ol’ Meany you’ll find And Now, I Have Renamed February “Blackuary”. While Two Dogs is at it, he renames the other months too, including, Juanuary, Sextember, and Deathcember. We were sad to see that Islamber was missed.

Peace Moonbeam’s mission of Anti-Christ-like mercy goes awry in American Gulag.

“I screamed for the guard as one jihadist held me while the another furiously tried to decapitate me! Thank God all he had was a toothbrush…”

Welcome to this week’s food-fighting Carnival of Satire. Not to say that any of the following posts are cheesy, but they do share a certain sharpness that is associated with some aged, dairy-based satire products. Enjoy. (With a bottle of wine, if you can manage it.)

Madeleine Begun Kane at Mad Kane’s Notables takes a break from politics, and tackles the serious issue of food in Ode To Takeout — Song Parody.

David at SqurtCheez provides a nice chunk of satire in Bolivian President Sends U.S. Politicians Scrambling.

Okay, Bob at either orr has a post that makes Dr. Tundra squirt cheese, because he can see some Liberal Party hacks thinking seriously about having, For Liberal Party Leader, John Kerry.

UberIrony Alert! Ferdinand T. Cat at Conservative Cat presents My Very Own Study of Brain Function. General Kang just hopes it is INTENTIONAL irony. Thag is sure it is — he knows how dangerous cats can be.

Bam! Tommy at Striving For Average kicks it up a notch with What’s For Lunch?. Continue Reading →

Welcome to the 18th Carnival of Satire, here at The Skwib. As always, we have a lively passel of satire, with a slight leaning towards news parody this week. Hah, you thought we were going to say “to the right, didn’t you?” Admit it! It seems like everything is leaning to the right — even Canada — so it’s pointless to say. Okay, onto the posts:

Vox Poplar at Vox Poplar is Right About Everything & Don’t You Forget It! explains why the French sometimes piss everyone off in Les Option Nuclear.

Elisson at Blog d’Elisson “plumbs” new “depths” with this edition of Ask Mr. Debonair. You might want to bring along a wet-nap when you read this one.

Dr. Tundra knew there had to be some kind of explanation, and now Mr. Right at The Right Place has provided it: Sunspot Activity Causes Brief Interruption of Karl Rove’s “Mind-Ray” – Democrats Claim Rare Moment of Sanity. Now, if only we could get Jacque Chirac to turn of his own “Mind-Ray” and let the Republicans have a moment of clarity too.

Okay, this post from Seun Osewa at Naijarita News is satire. For sure. Thag not get fooled twice: 3rd Term Saga: Obasanjo Threatens To Freeze NFA Account!

In this razor-like satire, Buckley F. Williams at The Nose On Your Face discovers Bin Laden Embroiled In Abramoff Dirty Money Scandal. Continue Reading →

Yes, that’s robopope.

We begin this week’s Carnival of Satire at The Skwib on a rare literary high note. Jeremy at bardseyeview takes a lewd act and turns it into art in his post Romeo and Juliet and U of Penn. Warning: this post includes a sonnet, a discussion of iambic pentameter and public fornication.

Speaking of acts both lewd and public, The Evil Emperor Mindstation at Point Five learns Al Gore Arrested Ahead of ‘Police State’ Speech.

Tommy at Striving For Average discovers the recipe for a Chocolate City.

Over at Avant News Ion Zwitter relates how a Talking Points Delivery Mix-up Shakes American Right Wing

After reading Jerry Monaco at Shandean Postscripts to Politics, Philosophy, & Culture and his post, The War for Intelligent Design, Dr. Tundra is convinced we might find something about the FSM in the US Constitution. Continue Reading →

There is some great stuff in this week’s Carnival of Satire. So without ado here it is:

This terrifying post by Internal Medicine Doctor at Doctor made Thag wonder how anyone emerges from a hospital alive — not that his primitive mind could really grasp the concept of “hospital”. Dr. Tundra says this ain’t half of it. Please enjoy Medical Consulting.

Sticking with medicine, Kim at Emergiblog presents a parody of the Grand SF Parody itself in Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Emergency Department

Buckley F. Williams at The Nose On Your Face discovers Aslan is the “Most Eligible Bachelor.

Madeleine Begun Kane at Mad Kane’s Notables goes all Liverpudlian on us and presents Say Goodbye To Tom DeLay — Song Parody — Sing to “Yesterday”.

Joan Conde at Mamacita takes us on a wild ride in SupremeQuest: Directions for Samuel A. Alito Continue Reading →
