Welcome to the Carnival of Satire here at The Skwib. Okay, something has happened. Something important. Since we’ve started posting the “artwork” of the Last Dadaist, Toulouse Le Grandfig, people have become more absurd. Don’t believe us? Just read for yourself…

a4g [Ed. note: What kind of name is a4g? Is that some kind of artificial intelligence? A monkey-loving robot?] Anyway, a “staff writer” purporting to be a4g at Point Five breaks this important story wide open: Iraqi Police Seize New York Times Tanker Headed For Iraq

Wow, great posts for this week’s Carnival of Satire, including a few swipes at politically correct language, which we dislike almost as much as state-sanctioned religion. Enjoy!

Welcome to the eleventh Carnival of Satire all. A few less posts than last week, but still some fun reading to be had. As there’s a few people coming from Instapundit (welcome all), I’ve added one of my own satires from this week, based on a controversy that made the rounds both in Canada and the US: Druids, pagans protest naming of Christmas tree.

Welcome to the Carnival of Satire at The Skwib. Wow, what a turnaround. After #8, we thought that maybe there wasn’t enough satire to sustain a carnival. As usual, we were wrong. We hope this robust COS makes it an extra-happy Thanksgiving to all of you south of the 49th!

Where the hell is John Stossel when you need him? We’re going to sick him on Obi-Wan at Forward Biased who has reported a Strange meteorological phenomenon disrupts life in Upstate SC.
