Welcome to the 33rd edition of The Carnival of Satire, here at The Skwib. We tried find the common theme for the lively posts this week, but alas, we’re just not seeing it. So instead we give you this Gila Monster (in a bowler hat).
To begin, Ahistoricality has discovered a new separatist movement in The Dominion of British West Florida and Tips for Creating an American Separatist Cause. Mark and Dr. Tundra would have found this a ‘hellalot’ funnier if they weren’t Canadian, where these movements are real, ongoing and expensive.
For this next entry, you’ll have to remember Robert Shaw’s performance in Jaws. If you don’t, skip “I’ll Catch Yer Mexicans For Ya” at The Nose On Your Face. But if you do, you’re in for a treat.
Perhaps Quint could teach Dubya something too, as Madeleine Begun Kane suggests in Fishing For Accomplishments.
GJR Stevenson at Rants and Slants wonders How does the world know about my tiny penis? We didn’t want to be the ones to tell you, but your wife has a blog about it: histinytallywhacker.blogspot.com. Or perhaps you’re just suffering from Koro. As a side note, this post has a high irony factor. Read the Google Ads on the page, and you’ll see why.
Decker Beaumont at Demon Lime does a passable parody of fanboy fanaticism in Star Trek 1: Best. Movie. EVAR! We were disappointed that he didn’t mention Uhura.
Tommy at Striving For Average has his own take on The DaVinci Code. Our only complaint about this post is that we think that Zoot and the Castle Anthrax would be wasted on Ian McKellan.

Welcome to the party, hosted this week at The Skwib. As his regular advice column has been pre-empted for the Carnival, we thought we’d ask General Kang to do the honors and introduce the categories and posts.
