The Carnival of Feminists

Natalie Bennett is doing something which I think is overdue: The First Carnival of Feminists. It still takes me somewhat aback how much the carnival movement seems to be tied to strongly conservative bloggers and communities; the academic carnivals are not in that mode, but I never quite understood why liberal bloggers didn't carnival.

Speaking of liberals, So Quoted Bill's line of the day is:

Liberals blame hurricanes on global warming caused by industry, whereas conservatives take the much more reasonable view that they are caused by gay sex.

I guess it's South Beach which is drawing Wilma inexorably towards Jeb Bush's state... but FEMA's ready this time! Sure, because after 2000, Republicans will never deny Florida anything.
