Category: Carnival of Satire

Happy International Woman’s Day and welcome to the Carnival of Satire (the sixty-ninth edition — purely a coincidence). We hope you enjoy it:

Rebecca Newburn has a parody that is not only fun, but educational: Learn about Biodiversity: Bio DaVersity Code presented at Information Age Education.

Rob at Old is the New New has Five For The Gipper an alternate history/satire for the 80s.

Conservathink has news about one of our favourite bugaboos: Greenspan chastised by investors for economically insensitive comments; use of r-word sparks massive sell-off.

From economics to politics: Don Davis at the Satirical Political Report has “The Secret” to a long list of disasters.

Ahistoricality discovered a useful (and extremely f*cking sarcastic) Blogger’s style guide for Civility and Seriousness.

Madeleine Begun Kane reminds us that it’s not only the quaint-British-insult-hurling liberals that have a problem with incivility: Why I Won’t Use What’s-Her-Name’s Name Anymore.

Archer at Lawyerworldland finally explains why NASA has had all those problems with, you know, exploding things.

The Language Log has research showing chimps making and using pencils. Thanks to Aloysius for digging this one up.

David wishes us all a Merry ValPatrick’s Ramadanukkah Easterweenmas. We don’t think Dr. Tundra can handle it.

Then again, he could be much worse off. Amanuensis learned about the strange problems besetting fellow feline, in: Darcy in rehab!

Yep, this is two great carnivals in a row, so we’ll just get straight to it:

If one can be cured of being an evangelical ass-bandit, then surely Archer can be healed as well.

And now, a short video from the help desk of a medieval Norwegian monastery. Thanks to John Sloan, Thuder Gott of Cyber Space for finding this one!

Ahistoricality has found 23 (worrying) signs thatYou’re Becoming a Design Geek.

The Epicurean Dealmaker has taken Swift’s original Modest Proposal, and updated it for the 21st century.

Madeleine Begun Kane has poetry on why she’s Qualified To Be Dick Cheney’s Top Aide
