Cruise the web starting with these most excellent entry points.

• Carnival of the Godless #80

• Friday Ark #168

• Carnival of Education #148

• Skeptics’ Circle #75

• Revere’s Sunday Sermonette — there hasn’t been enough outrage at the unconstitutional vileness of Romney and Huckabee.

Now tell me something I don’t already know.

I’ve got to go baste. If you aren’t similarly occupied, you could browse these fine carnivals.

• Carnival of the Liberals #52, celebrating AU’s 60th anniversary!

• Skeptics’ Circle #74

• Four Stone Hearth #28 (and they need more hosts)

You aren’t watching football, are you?

More carnivals, including one that is new to me!

• I and the Bird #62

• Friday Ark #165

• Accretionary Wedge #3 (a geology carnival!)

And we have a new Tangled Bank coming up at From Archaea to Zeaxanthol next Wednesday—send those links to your science articles to me or [email protected].

By the way, we’re going to run out of hosts in January, so if you’re interested in hosting, drop me a line to volunteer.

Now say something, anything here in the comments.

I’m on an airplane on my way to Washington DC, for an event sponsored by Americans United for Separation of Church and State. It should be good — I’ve heard that Blue Gal, D-Cup, Phil Plait, and some of the gang from Corrente will be there…and we’ll find out who else. I’ll report back later!

Until then, here are a few carnivals to browse.

• Skeptics’ Circle #73

• Carnival of the Liberals #51

• Four Stone Hearth #27

• Linnaeus’ Legacy, a brand new carnival dedicated to classification

• Friday Ark #164

And of course, feel free to talk among yourselves! Except any lingering denialists. You can go look for a rock to crawl under.

This collection of carnivals has a theme: savage, wild, weird animals.

• Friday Ark #163

• I and the Bird #61

• Circus of the Spineless #26

• Humanist Symposium #10

Don’t forget the Tangled Bank! Another edition is coming up on Wednesday at Paddy K — send those links in to me or [email protected].
