Welcome to the Silver Anniversary Celebration of The Carnival of the Clueless. The buffet table is on the right as you walk in. Sorry Beth and Raven, no open bar but I’m sure Jay, Cao, Kender and The Maryhunter will be happy to know there are plenty of sammiches.

Uh-oh…looks like Mr. Right and Jimmie K are at it again – the Series is over guys, Sox won.

Hey! Is that Tom hitting on the DHM? I’m sure he’s interested in her mind only. Now Fred and Rachel – that’s water from a Different River. Pure. Animal. Passion.

I see Orac holding forth. Come to think of it, that’s a pretty damn smart table what with Kaote, the two Adams and that wrestler fella.

Say! Look who the cat drug in! AJ arm in arm with Wonder Woman. AJ always was a sucker for superheroes. And I’m surprised to see XYBA given that he doesn’t like to Fly at Night.

Now, I’m sure there’s been a World of Speculation about who will be the Silver Anniversary Cluebat of the Week. No Speed Bumps here. So without further adieu, I will go Once More Into the Breach and say that the winner hands down and with no second and third place awarded since they absolutely swept the voting, is the United Nations.

The reason? Only the United Nations could, in the manner of a two year old child who covers his ears when wanting to shut out something he doesn’t want to hear, pretend that the State of Israel (a UN member state) does not exist by failing to include it on a map of the Middle East posted at a “celebration” of solidarity with the Palestinian people.

Think about how clueless this action really is. In 1947, the UN itself partitioned the former British Mandate of Palestine into Arab and Jewish states. In short, the United Nations created the State of Israel! Even more ironic is the fact that the “celebration” of solidarity with the Palestinians occurred on the anniversary of the UN General Assembly’s creation of the Jewish state. Of that date, cluebat Kofi Annan has said it is “a day of mourning and a day of grief.”

And we look forward to a day filled with rejoicing and celebration; the day you take your arrogant ass and your corrupt family and friends back to where you came from never to show your criminal face in public again.

There’s plenty more where that kind of cluelessness came from. Click till it hurts.

It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.

And to all the friends and supporters of this site and the COTC, thanks for letting me be stupid every once and while.

******************************************************************************
The Sophistpundit commits the unpardonable sin of throwing the Democrats own words back in their faces. He should be ashamed of himself, taking all those quotes out of context. Come to think of it…by putting them in context, they sound worse.

Jack Cluth has a rant against clueless Republicans who have lowered the quality of debate on the Iraq war thanks to their “white flag” ad campaign. C’mon Jack! Tell us what you really think.

Van Helsing pounds the wooden stake deep into the heart of John Kerry for his clueless comments about American soldiers in Iraq. Deja vu anyone?

TMH is blogging the Global Warming Conference in Canada among other things. He gives a rather baleful look toward the “enviro-whackos” and other clueless greens whose stupidity knows no bounds.

AJ at the Strata-Sphere takes the EU to task for their latest outrage; an exhibition and activities book about sex and relationships that targets children of preschool and primary school age. AJ’s advice is spot on.

Giacomo lances Jonathan Alter for his clueless article on the Pentagon’s media program in Iraq. Alter should know that straw-men are only used by hay brains.

Our Official Carnival Pin-up Girl, Pamela at Atlas Shrugs, has a real head scratcher of a post regarding an Islamic “professor” who says that Einstien’s theory of special relativity – among other “scientific” information” can be found in (wait for it) The Koran! Watch the excellent MEMRI video and be stunned.

Fred Fry skewers the clueless ones at CodePink who wanted to party down with Fidel in Cuba on New Years eve. Fred suggests they go to North Korea and keep Kim Jong Il company instead. Heh.

In a very important and informative post, Orac highlights the dangerous cluelessness of Mel Gibson who wants to make a movie on the Holocaust. Given Mr. Gibson’s feelings about the subject, I would hope he abandons the project and spends some time reading a little history.

In what has to be considered a Tour de Force of cluebat fisking, Tom Bowler chews on the Washington Post “Special Section” regarding our withdrawal from Iraq and spits it out, article by article, into little tiny pieces showing how nonsensical the cluebats are. Great job.

Rachel has a pithy and straight up answer to the question posed to Peter Watson about what is the worst “big idea” in history. Watson’s jaw dropping answer is laughably shallow for such a “deep” thinker.

Raven gives some “Profiles in Cowardice” of some of our current crop of American traitors. Raven on Kerry: “He and Osama are about the same size aren’t they? Yes…and isn’t it strange they tend to say the same things about American soldiers?

Jimmie K has some thoughts on the cluelessness of John McCain and the torture bill he’s trying to push through Congress. Wrong place, wrong bill, but IMHO, the right idea.

Never tiring of getting into trouble, Beth is looking for “The First Annual Weblog Awards Asshat” given to the person who whines the most about The Weblog Awards. Then again, Beth is the kind of woman who actually looks for trouble – which is why I want her in any blogging foxhole that I might ever find myself.

Ferdy the Cat has an interesting take on a C-Span show with Brent Bozell and Mary Mapes. Being a superior life form, I’m surprised Ferdy was able to maintain his interest whenever cluebat Mapes opened her mouth. Evidently, Ferdy amused himself by agreeing with the witch – up to a point.

A Different River shows why the PC maniacs who want to call a Christmas tree a “holiday” tree so as not to offend Jews is so off-base. ADR: “Hannukah has as much to do with trees as Christmas has to do with yarmulkes – or for that matter, with shoelaces.” Uh-huh.

Wonder Woman has the “oppressed people of the world unite” post of the day with the tragic tale of Inuits in Canada and the US whose habitat is being ruined by…what? They say global warming which is why they want the US to follow the Kyoto limits on CO2 emissions. And…oh. Did I mention they also want gobs of money from American taxpayers to help them “adapt” to climate change. Their long dead ancestors who “adapted” by coming here in the first place – without government assistance – are turning over in their graves.

Those definitely un-pusillanimous pachyderms at Elephants in Academia are having a gay old time with the cluelessness of Tom DeFrank of the NY Daily News and his anti-Rumsfeld articles.

The Deputy Headmistress uses her pointer to rap the knuckles of Saddam Hussein who is complaining about being tortured while in prison. She should make him write on the blackboard 500 times “I must not hide like a coward in spider holes.”

Adam Graham has the skinny on the UK professor who was beat up ostensibly because he was going to teach a class bashing intelligent design. Adam highlights the stupidity of the left’s response to the crime, in that they assumed no one on the right would decry the beating.

More excellent information on the Jack Idema case from Cao (still pronounced “key”). The cluelessness here extends from the media to our State Department. You simply must familiarize yourself with this case, especially if you think you know everything about it. Not all is at it appears and an American patriot is suffering because of our ignorance.

Mr. Right (one of our Carnival Satirical Artists in Residence) has an article about the ACLU’s continuing war on Christmas. The cluebats are about to go nuclear by demanding the removal of all Christmas songs from radio as well as Christmas programming from TV! No comment from Santa – he’s too busy.

More satirical gold from The Nose on Your Face: “Are you there God? It’s me, Tookie.”

Matt Johnson has a fascinating post about an undeclared war on blogs by high school administrators. A cheerleader kicked off the squad for “vulgar” language on her website? No wonder our kids can’t read.

No Speed Bumps targets Canadian liberals and pulls the trigger. The northern chapter of anti-gun moonbats wants to take away the handguns of law abiding Canadian citizens based on the same faulty logic used by their cluebat cousins to the south; that it will reduce crime. Um…how many murders in Washington, D.C. last year, a city with the strictest gun control in the US?

Jay at Stop the ACLU has some typical obfuscation of the facts by the so-called rights group. This time it involves cooking the books on prisoner abuse in Afghanistan. Not only can’t the numbskulls count, they also apparently can’t read very well either.

Here’s something I’d love to see more of in Blogland. Fly by Night blogs a very important local issue – how a small California County (Sutter County) responded to Citizen input and how clueless some politicians can truly be.

Kender has a story of PC run amok in Denmark and the clueless response to the UN to some Danish measures at self-defense against the Islamic tide sweeping Europe. Says Kender: “Moral Relativism and Situational Ethics seem to be the New World Order, where everything is opposite to reality and common sense.” Read the whole thing.

Once more into the Breach blog has the jawdropping story of the day. Apparently the authorities told a stalked student to move rather than giving her protection from someone who eventually killer her. All I can say is – WTF?

A World of Speculation criticizes Stephen Schwartz of the Daily Standard for a clueless article on Kosovo.

Here’s your Tookie post of the day. It comes from Kaote and the title says it all: “Tookie Supporters Are Clueless Morons.” That just about covers it all.

Finally, here’s my take on the Iraqi answer to the defeatists: “IRAQIS PREPARING TO GIVE THE FINGER TO DEAN AND THE DEMS.”
