What Part of the War on Terrorism Do They Support?

Ann Coulter skewers liberals again:

They oppose the National Security Agency listening to people who are calling specific phone numbers found on al-Qaida cell phones and computers. Spying on al-Qaida terrorists is hampering our ability to fight the global war on terror!

John Karr’s Mullet

Checking my logs, I find that lots of people are interested in confessed killer John Mark Karr's mullet.

They're finding it at this post. I'm trying to remember if any other accused/convicted murderer sported such a hideous coif. 

Any ideas? Post 'em in the comments.

Carnival of Comedy #70, Probably

Carnival of Comedy

**Update — See below**

***Updated Again — See further below*** 

Welcome to the Carnival of Comedy, brought to you by the relatively harmless folks at IMAO!

We're going to do this a little differently — this post will remain on top for a while, with each submission noted in a separate post below. And in an experiment to see whether you feel like we care about your opinion, you get to vote. And by "you," I mean blog-owners; yep, just like the old days of democracy, where only land-owners got to vote.

Here's what you do — read through all of them, then write a post on your site sending people to your favorite, and send a trackback both to the original post and to my critique here on Acme Anvil Co. If I'm still interested, I'll count the votes after 10pm Central time on Sunday, and post the winner as an update to this post. 

I already hear some of you whining — "But I don't haaaave a blog!" Well, get one. You have plenty of time between now and Sunday. Try Blogger; it's free. Or user WordPress like I do, cause I'm smart. Remember to learn how to use trackbacks.

Keep referring back to this post, and I'll include an update when the reviews are finished. I just included a new category for the carnival just to make your lives easier — look for the link to the left.

Want to be included in next week's carnival? Submit teh funny here or here

**Update — Almost finished! Keep checking back! 

***Update again — I'm done! Every entry has it's own post, and they're all in the new Carnival of Comedy category, so you can find the easily. The category is to the left, or you can click here

Also, it turns out this is Carnival of Comedy #69, so that's twice I've mis-labeled the carnival. The first time was SpaceMonkey's fault, and this time… well, you get what you pay for.

Don't forget to vote, if it's not too complicated. 

Also — please patronize my sponsors, so I can buy a new gun.

I’m Not Xenophobic! I hate Foreigners

FIAR at Radioactive Liberty presents I’m Not Xenophobic! I hate Foreigners.

Kinda funny, but then you forgot about the War Between the States, opening yourself up to comments from all sorts of unsavory Yankees. Wait, that came out wrong… I meant to say Damn Yankees. My dear departed dad used to say Yankees are like hemorrhoids — as long as they stay up where they belong, they're tolerable, but when they drop down here, they're a pain in the a$$.

PlayStation 2 comes out of closet; Sony to re-think backwards compatibility.

So, I take a break from posting these to take my family out to dinner, only to find a whiny comment upon my return — "Where's my post?" 

Well, here it is. I'm giving you a five-ping penalty for jiggling my elbow, dude.

Damian G. at Conservathink presents PlayStation 2 comes out of closet; Sony to re-think backwards compatibility.

This is kinda funny, in a gay-bashing sort of way. Not that there's anything wrong with that…

Those Unspeakable Meetings

Who said you could go twice? Can we get a ruling on this? I'm not going to read it.

Madeleine Begun Kane presents Those Unspeakable Meetings posted at Mad Kane's Humor Blog.

This is probably how they figured Al Gore would win, too. Evil liberals… they hope we don't pay attention to their wretched plots.

I'm gonna get Katherine Harris to disqualify you!

Get ready. This is a good one.

That's What The Law's About, a Song Parody

Cool! A moonbat at our little carnival! 

Madeleine Begun Kane at Mad Kane presents That's What The Law's About: Song Parody About Lawyers, sung to the tune of Hokey Pokey, except the Hokey Pokey had the courtesy to stop after a while.

Some parts are funny; maybe we should vote on which stanzas to delete!

10 Reasons You Should Never Get a Job

Steve Pavlina at Steve Pavlina's Personal Development Blog presents 10 Reasons You Should Never Get a Job.

Interestingly, I read this a few days ago following a link. While not exactly comedy, it's a lighthearted look at remaining or becoming self-employed — and it makes a lot of sense.

A Most Improper Idea

Alabama Improper presents A Most Improper Idea posted at Alabama Improper.

The idea itself isn't improper, see; it's a running joke because the his (oops) her site is Improper — Alabama Improper, which is probably more improper than normal.

Anyway… you could be a mystery guest blogger if you have a blog, otherwise, it's pointless. And improper.
