The Carnival of Satire (#65)

We have a great carnival for you this week folks. From love advice, to naming stars, to less, uh, prosaic satire about bodily functions, there is something in here for everyone. We hope you enjoy the sixty-fifth Carnival of Satire:

The Epicurean Dealmaker has a tale of the market gone mad in Cogito, ergo whom?

On a much less philosophical note, Craig Harper has discovered the science behind the Male-Fart-Laugh-Response. Women, especially, need to read this post to understand why men are they way they are. (Stoopid.)

Madeleine Begun Kane has Valentines Day advice for the gents too.

Ahistoricality reminded us of the fine work they do over at The Satirical Political Report including this roundup of Super Bowl Ads featuring Sunni and Shia marketing.

Blue Steel at Pollyticks.com has cartoony goodness: Bush Joins Bandwagon.

Keeping with politics for the moment, Judith Withers has found George W. Bush’s Netflix Queue.

Jessica Okon has Some Land In Florida She’d Like To Sell You. She also has just named a star. We really hope that it doesn’t have a habitable planet in the system. You’ll understand when you read her post.

Greg Laden has an amusing reconstruction of one of the stranger news stories this week in Fly Me To The Moon?..

Blade Hackington gives us some much-needed tips on being sloth-ful.

Brad presents Brad’s Bits: Stories of slacking in corporate America » Terri Schaivo: ‘Media Bonanza’.

Chris Dolley has learned that fantasy author David Eddings was appointed Special Adviser to Tony Blair.

Jarod Kearney has Christmas satire Scrooge – Malicious, Ill-tempered Miser or Financial Genius?

We’re not sure this qualifies as a blog or satire, but these Chuck Norris Banners are just too stoopid not to include.

And in a surreal final nonte, Mike Billy was a little freaked out when the Mooninites attacked Boston.

Thanks to everyone for submitting their satire and making this a great carnival this week. Thanks to these fine folks for helping us with webby-stuff: the Blog Carnival for their form; and the listings at the Ubercarnival, and at the Blog Carnival too.
