Category: Carnival of Satire

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?.

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.

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.

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
