Carnival of the Vanities #12
Published December 10, 2002
Eleven Day Empire - If You Have To Ask, You'll Never Know: Amazing how a liberated woman can use a free press to coddle those that would enslave her and wrap her in yards of stifling cloth. Well, that is if they don't rape and kill her as an infidel first.
OpinionsGalore - Some Questions For Journalists: This is why I think the regional Emmy Awards and Pulitzers are often a bunch of hooey. Many years, nobody's done anything intellectually or journalistically honest and comprehensive enough to merit a trophy representing truth, courage, and honor.
Overtaken By Events - Russ Kevin Childers - Idiot: Apparently, foreigners hate us so much they don't buy up our television shows and blue jeans and hamburgers... oh, wait... they do? I guess they don't hate us in the ways that matter then.
Eleven Day Empire - First Amendment...uh...Campaign Finance Reform: Ah, a favorite subject of mine. Amazing how around primary and election time, television and radio conglomerates choke on the revenues that come in
Jamie McDonald - Blue Yonder: Enviroweenies get their due.
Eleven Day Empire - Angry Boy: Washington... Post... my eyes glazed over at this point, and I started to mutter something about vomiting robots and eggplant.
And last, but not least...
BRING OUT YOUR DEAD!
Amish Tech Support - Dead Pool: Twenty to twenty-five posts a day, slamming the keyboard like Hulk Hogan making Rowdy Roddy Piper his kilted man-bitch, and I'm trying my damndest to get you folks to pick 9 names and try to win free money in what I hope will be the oddest and strangest collaborative project in the Blogosphere. But it wouldn't be a Carnival without a few games on the Midway, right?
That's it for the Carnival this week. As usual, it's been a blast.
Carnival of the Vanities is a regular weekly feature that appears both on Silflay Hraka and Blogcritics, but it currently on tour. For more information on the origins of the Carnival and how to participate (hint: send the URL of one of your permalinks to the person running it that week), feel free to read the institution's history.
The next stop for the Carnival of the Vanities will be at the fine establishment of Heretical Ideas. Mark your calendars now, update your Palms, and set the alarm for next Tuesday evening to get your entries in to... THE HERETIC!
