Right Wing Nut House

One of these days, if I ever get the time and ambition, I’m going to write a history of cluelessness in America.

It will be a multi-volume set, leather bound with embossed letters at the beginning of chapters just like the monks used when they copied the bible. I’ll have publishers lining up to bid on the darn thing, believe me. After all, any publisher that would accept a 1000 page manuscript from Bill Clinton that says absolutely nothing should have no trouble in taking on my literary project. And I won’t even ask for a $5 million advance.

I certainly won’t be lacking for material. One need only reflect on the America that existed at the time of our Declaration of Independence to realize an entire volume could be devoted to the cluelessness of the British in their handling of the American colonies. Or the idiocy of British military commanders like General Cornwallis or General Burgoyne, both of whom allowed the finest armies on the planet to be defeated by a bunch of brave, determined, but still raggedy and disorganized group of farmers, merchants, and laborers.

American General of Artillery Henry Knox was a bookseller by trade. The hero of Saratoga Benedict Arnold was an apothecary at one time. And yet, the British army never had a chance. They could win battle after battle and the more they gloried in their victories, the closer the colonies came to independence. Theirs was the cluelessness of arrogance. They actually thought that because some King had touched a sword to the shoulder of one of their ancestors thus making that worthy a “noble” that this somehow made them better than the free born farmers and merchants who opposed them. That kind of cluelessness cost them an empire.

Thankfully, we have an army of intrepid bloggers who protect us from that kind of cluelessness today. So without further adieu, let’s dig into some genuine, all-American stupidity.

Red State Rant alerts us to Stephen Spielberg’s latest project that involves the Israeli agents who tracked down and killed the terrorists who murdered Israel’s athletes at the Munich Olympics in 1972.”Stephen Spielberg: Nuancy Boy” captures the director’s “moral equivalency” perfectly.

Chirac, Schroeder, and Putin. I wonder what analogy you could draw to describe those three cluebats? Kefuffles hits the nail on the head with “The Three Stooges do Europe.”

Beth at My Vast Right Wing Conspiracy spanks the left for their yearning to see a Viet Nam redux. If the moonbats had any brains, I’d say they had a death wish. Since they lack the necessary gray matter, we can simply point to their utter cluelessness and shake our heads in collective bewilderment.

Giacomo of Joust the Facts brings us a Carnival favorite. Ted Kennedy has opened his mouth again - this time to warn the President on his selection for Supreme Court Justice - which means he’s automatically entered in the “Cluebat of the Week” sweepstakes. It really isn’t fair, you know. He should really step aside and give someone else a chance some time.

Mr. Satire is at it again. The Master of Cluelessness gives us a piece called “The Supreme Court Relies On Foreign Couture.” Mighty pretty they are too! And this one is self explanatory: “Senator Dick Durbin Tied Pol Pot In Third Place, Vows To Beat Hitler.”

The folks at The Common Room take pity on Nancy Pelosi. To be clueless in private, in the bosom of one’s family is one thing. But to display one’s idiocy with the TV cameras and microphones picking up every clueless word is something totally different.

More on Nancy Pelosi from Going to the Mat. It doesn’t seem to matter what the subject is, the Minority Leader in the House of Representatives, the individual who represents the oldest continuously viable political party in existence, is quite simply, a loon.

Possum links us to a transcript of an interview with several clueless Congressmen and Senators regarding the upcoming Supreme Court nomination fight. Check out Lindsey Graham’s weasel words.

Mark Coffey of Decision “08 points his finger at David Corn of The Nation and asks for an air sickness bag. Anyone who uses his children to make a political point is not only clueless, they should be flogged.

Raven at And Rightly So has an excellent rant against Bob Geldof and the moonbats of Live 8. She has a message for the self righteous snots who constantly carp about America’s contributions: “They need to realize that by imploring the G8 governments to DO SOMETHING, they are demanding that I do something. I already have. I’ve given my money.”

Pamela of Atlas Shrugs is baaaaaaack! After braving the perfidious French for the better part of a week, our fearless correspondent shows us that as far as the French are concerned, denial ain’t just a river in Egypt.

The Maryhunter of TMH Bacon Bits takes us on a trip into moonbat land and the tiresome and dishonest rants by the anti-war left against the President every time he brings up 9/11. There’s a lesson to be learned there but I don’t think they’re listening.

Van Helsing from Moonbattery brings us words of wisdom from that noted philosopher and towering intellect Woody Allen. No, that’s not a typo. It seems Mr. Allen has taken something of a long view of history with regards to 9/11. Funny how his view of history shortens up quite a bit when it comes to his view of shacking up with his stepdaughter while he was married.

Okay…think real hard and tell me true. Is there anyone more outrageously clueless than Madonna? Northstar of The People’s Republic of Seabrook has the answer.

Two Dogs at Mean ol’ Meany blog has some “splodeydope” links for moonbats like Rep.Sheila Jackson Lee “(Dumbass-TX)” regarding our treatment of prisoners at Guantanamo. Ms. Jackson Lee has proven herself clueless on numerous occasions in the past which, of course, makes her easy pickings.

Cao of Cao’s Blog has an excellent and detailed post about Iraq’s ties to terror and WMD that gives a lie to the Democrats sloganeering “If you say a lie often enough you’re a republican.”

Harvey of Bad Example compares and contrasts Dick Durbin’s “apology” with one given by his blogson. It’s not only Durbin that could learn a thing or two from that kind of forthrightness, but also the rest of us and most especially, the MSM.

Josh at Multiple Mentality thinks it’s fantastic that Justice Souter may get his just desserts with the building of the Liberty Hotel on his property. I like the old Klingon saying “Revenge is a dish best served cold…like Gaach.”

Jan Bear at A World of Speculation links to the Sally Jenkins puff piece on “moderate” Howard Dean and what an ordinary guy he truly is. (Just scroll down until you see Howard’s picture). Trying to turn Mr. Dean into a teddy bear must have been a herculean task - much harder than cleaning the horse manure from the Agean Stables.

Finally, my own entry this week is also on Live 8 called “Geldof’s Goofy Gig.”

Because of the 4th of July holiday, we’ve pushed back the deadline for submissions to this week’s Carnival of the Clueless to Tuesday night at 10:00 PM.

Last week’s Carnival garnered 22 posts from both the right and left side of the sphere. Here’s what we’re looking for:

Each week, I’ll be calling for posts that highlight the total stupidity of a public figure or organization – either left or right – that demonstrates that special kind of cluelessness that only someone’s mother could defend…and maybe not even their mothers!

Everyone knows what I’m talking about. Whether it’s the latest from Bill Maher or the Reverend Dobson, it doesn’t matter. I will post ALL ENTRIES REGARDLESS OF WHETHER I AGREE WITH THE SENTIMENTS EXPRESSED OR NOT.

It should be another interesting week. Washington has been such a target rich environment lately, trying to decide who or what is the most clueless is getting to be a herculean task - something like cleaning the Aegean Stables - with just as much manure being tossed around.

You can enter by emailing me, leaving a link in the comments section, or by using the handy, easy to use form at Conservative Cat.

I’ve recently given a lot of thought to the subject of cluelessness.

After consulting various historians, philosophers, artists, and theologians, I’ve come to the conclusion that there are two states of cluesslessness:

1) Cluelessness as an aberration.
2) Cluelessness as a pathology

The first state of cluelessness is familiar to all of us in that each of us from time to time has fallen victim to our own humanity. In other words, everyone makes mistakes. President Bush falls into this category. I myself have been known to be clueless at times, especially when it comes to trying to figure out what makes women tick. Why would Sue get so upset that I’d rather stay inside to watch the Cubs-White Sox showdown than go outside and do yardwork in 95 degree heat? Was this a trick question? And yet, when she gave me the “choice” what I wanted to do, I didn’t realize that the choice was in fact, no choice at all but a test. If I really loved her, I’d give up the biggest game of the year to help her weed, hoe, water, and care for her extensive garden.

Like I said, I can be clueless at times.

The second state of cluelessness is easier to spot. It includes all Hollywood types, some conservatives, most liberals, and both political parties. It is cluelessness as a disease; incurable, virulent, but thankfully not catching.

Most of today’s Carnival of the Clueless entries fall into this category. So let’s get to this week’s mayhem!

“GROW old along with me!
The best is yet to be,
The last of life, for which the first was made”
(Robert Browning)
“Browning never had to do yardwork in 95 degree heat, I’ll bet.”
Me

The Right Place asks the question of the week: Are you a Moonbat? Please take the test…and no cheating!

Raven of And Rightly So (Welcome back! Where’s the beer?) targets opponents of having balanced PBS programming. Raven’s piece begs the question; why is it okay to have a liberal Democrat as President of PBS but a dangerous precedent when a Republican is named?

Minh-Duc of State of Flux, in a stirring tribute both to the flag and free expression, points out the obvious to the clueless Congressmen who voted to outlaw flag burning.

Josh Cohen of Multiple Mentality , in the first of several diatribes against the execrable Supreme Court Kelo decision sums it up nicely in the title to his post: “The Constitution has Officially been Crapped on.”

You may have heard that the lovely Pamela from Atlas Shrugs is now also blogging at Trey Jackson’s excellent site Jackson’s Junction. She has a lot more on the Iranian elections including some gruesome but eye opening pictures proving again that the religious nutcases in charge of that country are among the most clueless humans on the planet.

Harvey of the excellent blog Bad Example has more on Dick Durbin and throws in a comparison reference to one of the Republicans own Clueless Cohorts, Rick Santorum.

Speaking of Rick Santorum, Elyas of Ablogistan proves that culture warriors like Mr. Santorum can carry some analogies too far and stray into the territory of the despicably clueless.

Giacomo of Joust the Facts has the skinny on Fred Phelps, the baptist preacher who attends funerals of soldiers to make the claim that they “were cast into hell to join many more dishonorable Americans” - ostensibly because 9/11 was punishment from God for our tolerance of homosexuality. Whatever happened to the time honored American tradition of tarring, feathering, and hoisting this lickspittle onto a rail and riding him out of town?

From the “You’re not going to believe this department” Maggie’s Farm tells us about Ethnomathmatics. Gee…I always wanted to learn how to count like the Mayans. Bird Dog adds in an email “I just think of Mayan Math and wonder if that will build a bridge I am willing to drive my Explorer over. Or my tractor.” Good point…

Bill Teach at Pirates Cove brings back an old friend - John Kerry - and asks what Senator Clueless has done for us lately? If you give him a minute, I’m sure he’ll tell us.

Matt Johnston of Going to the Mat shows us that education bureaucrats aren’t only clueless, they’re dishonest to boot. I was never any good at math - but then I’m not in charge of dispensing tens of millions of dollars in federal aid either.

Cao of Cao’s Blog links us to an ad from Moooveon to support Dick Durbin in his fight against the forces of darkness. Too bad the moonbats never saw that other Dick coming - Dick Daley - otherwise, they could have saved themselves a lot of money.

Beth of My Vast Right Wing Conspiracy is back from a short blog hiatus and the moonbats will shortly be begging for mercy. Her reasons for the hiatus are as sound as her reasons for returning.

Was there any event more illustrative of pie-in-the-sky cluelessness than John Conyers’ pseudo hearings on the Downing Street Minutes? Van Helsing of Moonbattery doesn’t think so.

BeeJay of What Would Hollywood Do brings us news of a possible Warren Beatty run for Governor in 2006. Can someone who’s portrayed both Dick Tracy and American communist John Reed actually think he has a chance? As Beejay says…Only in Hollywood!

More Hollywood “Tom” foolery from Northstar at The People’s Republic of Seabrook. Is Tom Cruise nuts? Or just clueless? The title of the post answers the question: “No, I’m not a psychiatrist, but I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night….” (Hee!)

Congratulations to Mark at Decision ‘08 who really works hard to find the truly clueless. This week, he highlights Eric Hobsbawm’s ridiculous article in The Guardian entitled “America’s Neo-Conservative World Supremacists Will Fail” ( I wonder if Wolfowitz beat his wife today?) and points out the truly clueless company Mr. Hobsbawm keeps.

GM Roper at GM’s Corner has solved the mystery of John Conyer’s missing turkeys (the ones intended for the poor that “disappeared” from his office last Christmas). You’ll never guess where he found them!

Blogbud The Maryhunter from TMH Bacon Bits takes the Euro lefties apart with a post about how the moonbats not only sympathize with the beheaders and torturers in Iraq, but actively support them with donations.

Satire from My Blogsite is so good I took the two posts he submitted this week. The first one is called “Wal-Mart To Demolish The Supreme Court For A New Super Supreme Center.” The second one is “Do you Want to be Google’s Pal?”

Finally, my own entry this week is also on the Kelo decision and it’s called “God Bless our (Banana) Republic.”

The lastest edition of the Carnival of the Clueless last Tuesday proved to be a resounding success. With 16 entries from both the left and right side of the Shadow Media, the Carnival proved that there’s plenty of cluelessness to go around.

Here’s what we’re looking for:

Each week, I’ll be calling for posts that highlight the total stupidity of a public figure or organization – either left or right – that demonstrates that special kind of cluelessness that only someone’s mother could defend…and maybe not even their mothers!

Everyone knows what I’m talking about. Whether it’s the latest from Bill Maher or the Reverend Dobson, it doesn’t matter. I will post ALL ENTRIES REGARDLESS OF WHETHER I AGREE WITH THE SENTIMENTS EXPRESSED OR NOT.

All sorts of targets this week from Durbin’s non-apology to Karl Rove’s remarks. Then there’s also the various outifts that supported the Kelo decision on private property rights.

C’Mon everyone! Join in the fun!

Entries are due Monday evening by 10:00 PM EST. You can enter two ways:

1. You can send me an email with a link to your post to elvenstar522-at-AOL-dot-com.
2. Or, you can take advantage of the easy to fill out carnival submission form at Conservative Cat.

Here’s the orginal post on the Carnival with a more detailed explanation.

I’d like to personally invite all members of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy to contribute to the Carnival…that means you Beth! Blogation is over…back to work!

I played with the idea of subtitling this installment of the Carnival the “Dick Durbin Pol Pot Memorial Edition” but frankly, that’s entirely too limiting. After all, why place a boundary on our horizons? As intrepid explorers of the intellectual wasteland of the clueless, we must be prepared to scale altitudeness heights of stupidity, cross expansive rivers of ignorance, and traverse the seared and forsaken landscape of witlessness to find the Nirvanic bliss of true cluelessness.

Or, we could read the on-line edition of the Nation.

Thankfully, none of our fearless adventurers had to Narfle the Garthok to find enough cluelessness to satisfy our wanderlust and fill this week’s quota of jaw dropping, head shaking, side splitting cluebats.

“Ah, but a man’s reach should exceed his grasp, or what’s a heaven for?”

Daisy Cutter has a warning for Democrats who think that “Blogs for McCain’s Opponent” will assist them in their nefarious plans to actually win an election. Judging by the activities of Howard Dean, John Conyers, Dick Durbin, Nancy Pelosi, et. al. I don’t think we have anything to worry about on that score.

Northstar at the People’s Republic of Seabrook, and once again our lone (lonely?) left of center blogger highlights the cluelessness of the President’s brother and his quixotic quest to keep the Terri Schiavo case alive. Those who are pushing Jeb Bush for President in ‘08 should note what is written on this post and ask yourself a question: What utility is served by raising issues that have already been decided in the courts and that 95% of the country have moved on from?

Giacomo at Joust the Facts questions the sanity of ABC News. While it may seem that this is too easy a target, the jaw dropping stupidity highlighted proves that one should never underestimate the media when it comes to them making total asses of themselves.

Minh-Duc at State of Flux takes on The Cunning Realist and his ill-conceived comparison of Iraq to Vietnam. When will they ever learn?

Blogbuddy The Maryhunter at TMH Bacon Bits has a story that defines cluelessness so well it should be placed in the Cluebat Hall of Fame. It’s about two employees of PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) being arrested for…what else? Cruelty to animals. I wish I could have made up a story like this but unfortunately, this sublimely doltish reality has outpaced any fantasy I could possibly come up with.

Our first Dick Durbin entry comes to us courtesy of moonbat slayer Van Helsing of Moonbattery. Van has a picture display for my home state Senator on torture - assuming anyone that has made the statements Durbin has must have some difficulty with the printed word. (Caution: Disturbing images)

Mark at Decision ‘08 had…well, a decision to make this week. He figured that everyone would be submitting posts on Durbin so instead, he picked an equally worthy jackass, Howard Zinn. Mr. Zinn is perhaps best known for his deterministic, revisionist People’s History of the United States in which he makes the people of the United States unrecognizable. This time. Comrade Zinn takes on American exceptionalism with equally obscure results.

Bill Teach at Pirates Cove proves that cluelessness is an equal opportunity disease striking both liberals and conservatives (although recent studies have shown that the former far outnumber the latter in both frequency and severity). Anyway, Representative Walter Jones calling for a “timetable” to withdraw from Iraq had the terrorists in Baghdad clapping their hands in anticipation of America cutting and running.

Duncan Avatar of Parrot Check asks if former Bush Administration economist turned 9/11 conspiracy nut Morgan Reynolds is really from his Alma Mater? “Fraid so, Duncan. It could be worse. Just think if you actually had to take a class from this screwball.

Satire Blog has a post entitled “Larry King - a Serial Husband, a Monogamous Polygamist and the Joys of Multiple Fatherhood ” with a picture of Larry from 1970! Actually, it’s a mugshot and I’m sure that Larry won’t mind. After all, everyone’s forgotten about all those checks you bounced so many years ago…

More Durbin Droppings from GM Roper who wonders if Dandy Dick knows that he’s energized Americans who “know bullcrap when they see it.” If he didn’t before, he sure as hell knows now.

All Durbin all the time here at the Carnival with American Warmonger taking Durbin apart piece by piece. Hey guy! Leave some for the rest of us, huh? You picked over the Senator’s carcass so thoroughly that the pitiful mouthfuls you left us wouldn’t feed a sated moonbat!

Had enough, Dicky? Hah! Cao of Cao’s Blog, blogmama extraordinaire, turns her poison pen on Durbin and makes a mish mash of the Senators ill conceived diatribe against the military. Don’t mess with mothers who have loved ones fighting in Iraq, Senator!

More PETA poop from AJ over at Strata-Sphere. It’s got to be a shocker for people who drop their unwanted but still loved pets off at PETA and be told a home will be found for them only to discover later that they’ve been euthanized in the back of a van and dumped in a shopping center garbage dumpster. Gives a whole new meaning to the term “ethical.”

Gorgeous Pamela of Atlas Shrugs has the inspiring story of Iranian women standing up to the most clueless males on the planet; the Mullahs and holy men who are currently running Iran.

Dave of Short Final, Cleared to Land has a host of targets for his ” Jackson Reaction” action figure doll. Hard to pick one but my choice would be Elizabeth Taylor.

Orac at Respectful Insolence fisks Charlie Rangel’s less noticed but equally outrageous assertion to Durbin’s idiocy that the war in Iraq can be equated with the holocaust. I predict Charlie will be a regular Carnival entrant as not only is he a partisan hack of the first order, he also can’t count.

My own entry in the Dick Durbin sweepstakes takes us back to a time when there were fistfights on the floor of the House and the people’s representatives came armed with pistols to the House chamber. Do you think Durbin would have been so quick to diss the military like that if he knew 2 or 3 of his colleagues were packing heat? Doubt it.

The Innaugural Edition of the Carnival of the Clueless last Tuesday proved to be a resounding success. With 15 entries from both the left and right side of the Shadow Media, the Carnival proved that there’s plenty of cluelessness to go around.

Here’s what we’re looking for:

Each week, I’ll be calling for posts that highlight the total stupidity of a public figure or organization – either left or right – that demonstrates that special kind of cluelessness that only someone’s mother could defend…and maybe not even their mothers!

Everyone knows what I’m talking about. Whether it’s the latest from Bill Maher or the Reverend Dobson, it doesn’t matter. I will post ALL ENTRIES REGARDLESS OF WHETHER I AGREE WITH THE SENTIMENTS EXPRESSED OR NOT.

This should be a can’t miss week what with everyone blogging about Senator “Turban” Durbin and the arrest of the PETA employees for being cruel to animals. Then there’s John Conyers and his over the rainbow hearing on the Downing Street Minutes.

C’Mon everyone! Join in the fun!

“The irrationality of a thing is no argument against its existence, rather a condition of it. ”
Friedrich Nietzsche

“Only someone who made a living out of being irrational can say that with a straight face.”
Me

Cluelessness is more than just a state of mind. After all, most of us at one time or another in our lives have experienced moments of being clueless. How many times have you been in a car and not had the foggiest idea of where you were? Or been at a loss for words when your spouse asks what you were doing out until 4:00 AM? At a strip bar? With the phone number of someone named “Peaches” written in lipstick on your palm?

Now that’s clueless!

Stupidity is an equal opportunity disease. It can strike people of any race, any sex, any nationality, and any political persuasion. Of course, it seems to be funnier when one’s political opponent proves themselves to be clueless. But why limit ourselves here? There’s plenty of ammunition for all sides of the political spectrum. Liberal, conservative, libertarian, anarchist - the possibilities are endless, limited only by good taste and a dutiful sense of noblesse oblige.

Thankfully, the Shadow Media rarely lets good taste stand in the way of thwacking the truly clueless. Hence, the idea for this Carnival. Some of the most interesting and inventive writing can be found when we point our fingers in mirth at the moonbats, loonbats, charlatans, fakes and fakirs of politics and culture.

So sit back and enjoy! And make sure you bookmark this site and return every Tuesday for some rollicking good writing and good times!

Van Helsing of Moonbattery makes his living feasting off the idiocy of others. In this post, find out what happens when our Customs and Border Patrol proves that we have a little work to do when it comes to defense of the homeland.

A likely candidate for Cluebat of the Year would have to go to Irene Kahn of Amnesty International. Here’s Mark of Decision “08 and his take on The Great Gitmo Gulag Gaff of 2005.

Pamela of Atlas Shrugs takes Hillary Clinton to task for her selective memory on China. Why do I get the feeling Hillary is going to be a Carnival regular?

Minh-Duc of State of Flux fisks Kevin Drum’s choice of books he considers among the 10 most harmful written during the 19th and 20th centuries. A response to the Human Events piece, Drum jumps the shark…and then some with his selections.

Josh Cohen of Multiple Mentality has a beef with the Supreme Court’s medical marijuana decision. So do most of us, I imagine.

A.J. of The Strata-Sphere wonders about Congressional spending on a report stating the obvious.

Nickie Goomba is mad at the ACLU for complaining about “cruel and unusual plumbing” at Gitmo. “Military guards have been heard complaining that it takes over 400 plunges of the toilet handle to flush a standard Koran. A Torah can take almost a week to flush.” I agree. We need to work on the technology of waste disposal if we want to get truly efficient with our desecrations.

Diamond, AKA “Zombie” is a photographer. Peruse this page of photograph links and get a true sense of the marvelously clueless moonbattery on display at demonstrations against…well just about everything.

No Carnival would be complete without Howard Dean. The Powerline guys says he’s a gift that keeps on giving,” kind of like a Norelco Electric Razor but without the Fathers Day wrapping paper. Raven at And Rightly So simply calls him an idiot. C’mon girl! Tell us what you really think!

Our lone lefty entry this week is from Jack Cluth at the People’s Republic of Seabrook. His subject is James Sensenbrenner. You remember Representative Senseless? He wanted to criminalize “indecency.” Actually, it may have been worth it just to see Oprah do the perp walk. This time, Sensenbrenner is taken to task for walking out of the hearing on re-upping the Patriot Act. Mannerless? Yes. Warranted? Depends if you like political theater or not. The two act comedy put on prior to Sensenbrenner’s exit could qualify for an Academy Award Short nomination.

Kender of Kender’s Musings trains several well aimed barbs at Socialism (capital “S”). I almost penalized my blog bud for picking too easy a target. But then I remembered…Don’t get on Kender’s bad side. I’m still pulling the stingers out of my hide from the last time I crossed him.

I’ve just got one question for The Maryhunter of TMH Bacon Bits: Who is Squidward and where in God’s name is “Bikini Bottom?”

Cao (pronounced “Key” for those of you not familiar with the Celtic idiom) of Cao’s Blog plays with one of her more clueless trolls. Now Cao, how many times have I told you not to feed the trolls? Feeding them only helps them procreate and make many where before there was only one. In this case though - an Islamist loon - we can make an exception.

Barry Ready, the Palmetto Pundit, takes on the idiocy of Charles Rangel. Rep. Rangels hyperbole regarding the holocaust and the Iraq war is typical of a man who introduced a measure last year to re-institute the draft and then got mad when Republicans brought it up for a vote. Charlie must be a lousy poker player. It was a no brainer calling his bluff when he wasn’t even holding a pair of deuces.

Bill Teach over at Pirates Cove has an exclusive picture of one of John Kerry’s advisors. Now, where have I seen that face before?

My own entry this week knocks Frank Rich for not staying on as the New York Times Drama Critic.

That’s it for this week. I hope a few more of you liberals out there will join us next week. I promise to include your entry regardless of subject matter.

If you’d like to enter next week’s Carnival, send me an email with your post’s URL or, go and visit Ferdinand T. Cat and use his handy Carnival Entry Form.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT! IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!

Want to have some fun at the expense of our friends on both the left and the right?

I’m pleased to announce A BRAND NEW LINK FEST!

It’s called “THE CARNIVAL OF THE CLUELESS.”

Each week, I’ll be calling for posts that highlight the total stupidity of a public figure or organization - either left or right - that demonstrates that special kind of cluelessness that only someone’s mother could defend…and maybe not even their mothers!

Everyone knows what I’m talking about. Whether it’s the latest from Bill Maher or the Reverend Dobson, it doesn’t matter. I will post ALL ENTRIES REGARDLESS OF WHETHER I AGREE WITH THE SENTIMENTS EXPRESSED OR NOT.

Of course, that won’t stop me from making snarky comments about those that I disagree with, but hey! Ya pays your monies and ya takes your chances, eh?

THE DEADLINE TO ENTER THIS WEEK’S CARNIVAL WILL BE MONDAY, AT 10:00 PM EDT. Please send only recent posts - something that’s fairly topical - perhaps no more than 2 weeks old.

PLEASE SEND ALL ENTRIES VIA EMAIL TO: elvenstar522-at-AOL-dot-com (substitute the ambersand for “and.” Also substitute .com for “dot com) Someone once told me to never overestimate the intelligence of your audience. Hence the remedial email course.

ATTENTION ALL MY LEFTY TROLLS: I’d appreciate it if you spread the word about this. Who knows…maybe you’ll convert me!

UPDATE

Just so there’s no confusion:

1. I’ll accept posts on individuals such as columnists, politicians, religious, TV personalities, other bloggers, even your next door neighbor (as long as you don’t use his name!).

2. Posts on organizations will also be accepted. The Vast Right (or left) wing conspiracy doesn’t count nor do generic groups like “Christians” or “moonbats.”

Ferdinand the Cat has been kind enough to include the Carnival in his easy to fill out Carnival submission form. You can go here and take advantage of that excellent service.
