The deadline for entering the 25th Carnival of Snark is Saturday at midnight. The Carnival is now published on Sundays so blog readers have something fresh to enjoy on the weekend. To submit your entry, please use the Carnival submission form.

The post-holiday blahs must still be going around in full force, since this week many of our long-time Carnival regulars are Missing in Action. Never fear, though – every week seems to bring new folks to the Carnival, with new points of view and new ways to snark. This week is no exception!

On her way to becoming a regular, Wenchypoo submits a Book Review: Medicare Meets Mephistopheles at Wisdom From Wenchypoo’s Mental Wastebasket.

From Madcap we have the suggestion to Issue Box Cutters to All Passengers posted at The Global Conservative.

J.C. Wilmore says Bush Plans to Win War With Army of Undead at The Richmond Democrat.

John takes on Pat Robertson with It’s Magic! at Hell’s Handmaiden.

Meanwhile, Mister Juggles helps us all understand the give-and-take of love with Relationship Exchange Rates at Long or Short Capital.

That’s it for this week’s Carnival of Snark! Submit your entries for next week’s using our Carnival submission form. Entries are due by midnight Saturday (CST) for Sunday publication.

Until then, Snark on, folks!

Technorati tags: carnival of snark, blog carnival.

The belated, Post-Holiday Blah edition of the Carnival of Snark is finally here! As they say, good things are worth the wait, and this week’s entrants are no exception. So, with the sucking up out of the way, let’s get on to the Snark!

From Madcap we have a riff on The Liberal Jihadi at The Global Conservative in which Madcap attempts to define “liberal” for, well, liberals.

DWSUWF serves up a round of Bartender! One more Rum & Mac for the road at Divided We Stand United We Fall and reads Colin Powell’s thoughts.

John rants about Heroin Sheikh: US Overthrow Means More Opiates for the Masses at The Largest Minority.

Nerd Mom snarks about the dearth of books written about historical female church leaders at Nerd Family.

Gabe Recchia “reviews” Stephen Colbert’s World of Colbertcraft at Two New Things.

Leon muses on the Top 10 Business Shenanigans for 2006 at Sox First.

Charles H. Green presents Seasonal Sarcasm and Santa: Who Can You Trust? at Trust Matters, saying, “Bah Humbug. Who can you trust to get you what you want? Santa Claus?” Yeah, right.

Miriam Sawyer notes that Dr. Johnson was wrong… at Miriam’s Ideas. (And, no, she’s not referring to that Doc Johnson.)

From Madeleine Begun Kane we have some timely New Year’s Resolution Humor posted at Mad Kane’s Humor Blog.

Wenchypoo shares some Post-Holiday Commentary at Wisdom From Wenchypoo’s Mental Wastebasket.

And Brian J. Noggle has an Arthur C. Brooks Christmas Moment at Musings from Brian J.

That concludes this belated edition. Considering how miserable I am with chicken pox — as well as how busy life is during the week even without all of this itching and scratching — the Carnival of Snark will now be posted on Sundays. If you’d like to be included in the upcoming edition, please use the Carnival submission form — and thanks to all who did, since it makes posting this so much easier!

Next week’s theme: The Resolutions We Make To Break.

Snark on!

Submissions are due for the Carnival of Snark by midnight tonight!

It may be the “most wonderful time of the year,” but that hasn’t stopped the blogosphere from snarking. This week we have a fine collection from those who’ve been naughty and those who’ve been nice. No lumps of coal for these folks — we’ll let them pass out the lumps themselves.

Who’s Been Naughty?

Ben from Yarbroughs, for instance, has visited the rant of autumns past to thump Moby over his August 2005 rant about the right, the government, and everything else that didn’t go his way.

Meanwhile, Madcap at The Global Conservative thumps just about everyone else and concludes that America must have a death wish.

De Doc doesn’t agree. In fact, he’s got a couple of suggestions for folks who belong on Santa’s “naughty doesn’t begin to describe it” list.

Brian J. Noggle‘s got a few folks to add to that list, too.

You Oughta Be In Pictures… Or Not.

Gabe at Two New Things: A Webcomic knows that pictures are worth a thousand words, and in this case what he knows is the internet.

But some pictures, well, they’re not merely unworthy of a thousand words… they’re also unworthy of the celluloid upon which they’re filmed, according to Nehring the Edge.

Let Us Eat, Drink and Be Merry

In this season of feasting and plenty, Wenchypoo‘s a bit peeved about slackers turning charity into free rides…er, free meals.

What holiday season would be complete without a fat white guy? In this case, the fat guy is Michael Moore, and Bill Losapio‘s telling him to get stuffed.

Speaking of getting stuffed… Madeleine Kane at Mad Kane’s Humor Blog has whipped up another helpful marital agreement, this time concerning the exchange of gifts that don’t suck.

We Wish You A Merry CHRISTmas

Yes, it’s sad but true: the Christmas season has become so PC that written contracts concerning the exchange of gifts doesn’t sound all that far-fetched. So PC, in fact, that Teresa at Technicalities reports even private Catholic schools are now singing “Happy Holiday” songs for fear of offending anyone.

But is that truly “politically correct” — or does political correctness lie more in the difference between Democrats and Republicans as Slobokan seems to think?

Naturally, our Muslim counterparts don’t really understand the hooplah surrounding Christmas. Richard Miles, whose bathroom reading time is rather limited, finds it rather onerous to figure out why.

As for me, it turns out I’m not finished with my Christmas shopping after all. There are still stocking stuffers to be purchased, and I’ll be driving all the way across town to find a store with self-checkout just to save myself time.

So, ho, ho, ho and all that. Enjoy these last few days before Christmas. But don’t forget to Snark!

UPDATE: Submitted to Outside the Beltway’s Traffic Jam, where they just don’t get enough snark!

Get your submissions to the Carnival of Snark in by midnight tonight to be included in this week’s edition!

The Snark Hunt is a day late, thanks to my “always on” cable internet provider who was entirely off yesterday. Their excuse? “Oh, sorry — we did an upgrade in your area and apparently you were knocked off in the process.” But that’s ok, I suppose. I’ll be upgrading my checking account later this week, and I’ll be taking the same lackadaisical approach to paying their bill.

So, now that I’m definitely in the mood for it, let’s snark!

Politics, Past and Present

Starting things off nice and easy, Miller’s Time takes aim at rather slow-moving target: Jimmy Carter. (Meanwhile, Drudge gets hit in the cross-fire.)

Speaking of slow… Xrlq wonders how much crow will a Prager eat if a Prager can eat crow?

Teresa at Technicalities reveals that the poison used to Alexander Litvenenko was named after yet another Russian political scandal. Oh, the irony.

Here, There and Everywhere

David E. snarks about immigrants taking U.S. jobs at Worldwide Success.

Gavin provides Mayran Tourist Information at Reverend Qelqoth’s Journal.

Look, Up In The Sky!

Slobokan points out that politics isn’t the only thing that stinks these days.

Avant News discusses The Armstrong Tautologies at Avant News.

Girls, Girls, Girls

Wenchypoo presents Memo to Old-Line Feminists at Wisdom from Wenchypoo’s Mental Wastebasket.

You always suspected your mother was the root of all your problems. Now, Talia Mana says there’s scientific proof of it at Centre for Emotional Well-Being.

Tis the Season to say ‘Tis

Madeleine Begun Kane discusses Office Party Follies at Mad Kane’s Humor Blog, with a helpful little pre-party marital agreement.

Tis also the season to say “Bah Humbug,” which loosely translated means: Snark! Get yours in by next Tuesday to join in the next Carnival of Snark. And, in the meantime, please keep the fruitcakes to yourself.

Submissions are due for the Carnival of Snark, and it’s looking to be the best one yet! Send yours in by midnight tonight!
