The 92nd Edition of Carnival of the Liberals!
Welcome to the first (that I know of) web comic version of Carnival of the Liberals! It’s my honor to host such a talented bunch of bloggers on my silly little site. There were far more great entries than we have room for in this carnival and I’d just like to say that I enjoyed reading each and every one of them, with the exception of the Make Money on Twitter entry. You know times are tough when people resort to spamming blog carnival submissions. But enough from me for now. We’ve finally got a president who can talk without making intelligent people cringe. Might as well let him take it from here.
Sense and Nonsense is definitely making sense about the former speaker and his near inhuman levels of douchebaggery, while Mad Kane wrote a song about him. And speaking of Douchebaggery, Rush Limbaugh and the phenomenon that is his rise to become supreme leader of the new Scary People Party (formerly known as the Republicans) is the topic of this post at the Camel Clutch Blog.
Greta Christina has a great post about how the ruling on California’s Prop 8 sets a bad precedent for the oppression of minorities through the ballot procedure. The Digital Cuttlefish takes that idea and runs with it, offering a ballot initiative to strip rights from left handed people using the same reasoning behind Prop 8. Step One Half continues to discuss how taking away a civil right is not serving democracy, and illustrates the post with a picture of a sweet transvestite from Transexual Transylvania.And last but not least, Feminism Friday has a review of a documentary about closeted gay politicians with voting records of anti-gay bigotry.
Johnny Pez has an interesting post about why we should all look past the armed robbery he committed. Hey, why not? Rough Fractals digs through 20th century political autobiographies to find Dick Cheney’s inspiration for all of the lying he’s built his career on.
Vis in Vox discusses the the divide between the pro and anti choice crowds under the context of Obama’s Notre Dame commencement address. Atheist Revolution demonstrates anti-atheist bigotry in action. A Revolution in Fiction puts some of the right wing [lame] arguments against the nomination of Sonia Sotomayor in the context of the French Revolution. And Florida Free Thinkers inadvertantly justify the existance of this very blog.
And that’s all, folks! Oh wait, looks like our old buddy Right Wing Blogger Guy has something to add. I’m sure it will add so much value to the discussion to hear from somebody on the other side…
What a racist cartoon. Obama cusing like a thug holding a gun is beyond racist.
You, sir or madam, are humorless. And for you to think that cussing and holding a gun has anything to do with race makes you a racist.
