Alrighty then! I had some great responses and submissions to this very first edition. Whether you agree with some of the positions here or not – I encourage everyone to go check out these articles – and submit some yourselves.
Uncategorized
Dana presents Parents’ constitutional liberty interest in education posted at Principled Discovery.
Madeleine Begun Kane presents Sarah Who??? posted at Mad Kane’s Political Madness.
Jeffrey Stingerstein presents Holding the Wall Street Journal’s Feet to the Fire on the Economy posted at Disillusioned Words, saying, “Bobo, great to see that you started a carnival. I did too last month and will keep it going. You should submit, if you have anything you think would be good for it. It is called the “Carnival of the Future,” you can find it on this site.”
Conservative
Hairy Swede presents Immigration Issues in Sweden posted at A Swedish American in Sweden, saying, “A (more) conservative view of immigration in Sweden.”
Democrats
Meg presents Oligatory Election Comments posted at Simpson’s Paradox.
David Gross presents This time around, the anti-torture bloc gets wooed posted at The Picket Line, saying, “Last time the Democratic Party circus was in town, nobody mentioned the U.S. torture policy (even though Abu Ghraib was fresh in the news). Has anything changed this time around? Is there an anti-torture voting bloc worth reaching out to in this country?”
Babak presents How To Checkmate McCain’s VP Choice In Sarah Palin posted at Trader’s Narrative.
Libertarian
Archvillain presents Achtung! posted at A Dark and Sinister Force for Good, saying, “Sorry, but this article is NOT funny. At all.”
News
Aahz presents Labor Unions And Freedom Don?t Mix posted at Philaahzophy, saying, “So-called anarchist union activists just want to replace one tyranny with another.”
Politics
Tracee Sioux presents Top-Down v. Bottom-Up – Economics 101 posted at Blog Fabulous, saying, “A voter-friendly examination of top-down vs. bottom-up economic theories comparing Google and Wal-Mart. What’s really going to benefit YOUR economics?”
Ashok presents “Stupendous Fabrics:” Notes on Alexander Hamilton’s Federalist No. 9 posted at Rethink., saying, “Just a summary and some notes on a fairly important aspect of the ideas behind the Constitution.”
Alan Skorkin presents Does Everybody Hate George Bush posted at Software, Technology and More.
Recoil presents This Election is Not Black and White posted at Double Barreled Opinions.
Brian Tarcy presents Free Cheezeburgerz posted at Freecheezeburgerz.com, saying, “Non Voters Hold Their Own Convention — satire”
B.M. Garrett presents Sarah Palin a good pick? What do you think? posted at Blogciety, saying, “Who is Sarah Palin? Find out a little bit more about the newly picked Republican VP candidate and learn why she might not be such a good pick. We’d love to hear your opinions.”
vjack presents Who is Sarah Palin? posted at Atheist Revolution.
DWSUWF presents Pondering Palin posted at Divided We Stand United We Fall, saying, “There is a tradition in this country of the “citizen legislator”. It is a simple concept that those that govern us should come from among us, and that we should not be governed by an elite class or professional politicians. The practical implementation of this idea is barely visible now, as our federal government has devolved to a primarily professional political class of lawyers in Washington. And yet, it is because of this very American appetite for leaders that step out from the middle class mainstream that politicians like Sarah Palin and Barack Obama can still emerge.”
Writers Coin presents Who is John McCain, Really? posted at The Writer’s Coin, saying, “A fantastic look at John McCain that doesn’t look to bash him or elevate him, it’s simply an honest look.”
Republicans
Barbara Schreiber presents Sarah Palin: Lip-sticked Pit Bull posted at Britannica Blog, saying, “Interesting blog post about Sarah Palin’s very sarcastic speech at the Republican National Convention.”
That concludes this edition. Submit your blog article to the next edition of the bobo carnival of politics using our carnival submission form. Past posts and future hosts can be found on our blog carnival index page.

I just wanted to thank you for putting this carnival together! There seem to be lots of great posts here and I recognize some of those who submitted. Always fun to be creating community, however unwittingly.

@Ashok & Aahz – Just doing my part to help other bloggers get their stuff out there. This is a great collection of bloggers and a very diverse group of articles. My carnival is the same as this blog – all comments and discussion are welcome. We can’t learn if we don’t open up to other ideas!
@Monica – I won’t tell if you don’t!

Thanks for including my post. Pleased to be part of your inaugural edition. Keep up the good work. Is that really you in the E*trade commercial with the talking baby in the high chair trading stocks? He says he rented “Bobo the clown” with all the money he made at e*trade. If not – you should sue their ass.

MW – my pleasure. And..yup..that was me! What a sweet gig that was! That baby is loaded (no not the diapers..well..yeah..I guess those too) but just had to blow up a few balloons, jump around a bit – scare the dickens out of that little shit…and still got outta there with some serious payola. Yeah – he might be able to pick his stocks – but – he’s not too bright about picking his clowns!
