Carnival of the Vanities 157

This week’s Carnival of the Vanities is hosted at the skwib, a satire blog by Mark A. Rayner, who begins by announcing a new carnival — the Carnival of Satire.

Is it a form of satire to add another carnival to an already bulging list of them? Yes, yes, it is, but we just don?t care!

(I note that Mark’s definition of satire differs slightly from the traditional dictionary one, but then, satire doesn’t really come with rules, and I’m sure it’ll be a fun carnival.)
Mark does a good job with innumerable posts, which he’s organized into categories for reader convenience.
Here are some that stood out:

  • Ian Hamet of Banana Oil examines Jesse Taylor’s rules of decorum, and opines:

    swearing, cursing, and cussing at our inferiors is not only acceptable, but absolutely essential in demonstrating to them that we are superior to they, and they are inferior to us, and nothing in the sweet wide world can ever, ever change that circumstance.

    I won’t spoil it, but Ian concludes with some polite advice for Mr. Taylor.

  • Rick Moran has a great post on “Outrage Fatigue.” (Something I share, but which fatigues me too much to write a post about it.)
  • Kevin Baker shows that the gun grabbers are very guilty of bad math (among other things “thousands” of accidental gun deaths turned out to be 762!)
  • Don Surber shows how racism is created.

    • Nice job, Mark.
    Read ’em all!

      I have had it with gun grabbers long ago. And, now, I had it up to the water level with race pimps like that so-called “sports writer”. I have just absolutely had it. I’m not in a kindly mood today toward anybody on the Left.

      Thanks Eric — you know, I had NO idea how much work hosting COTV was going to be, so I’m glad it turned out okay.
