About

The Political Carnival is a fast paced Progressive political site that combines humor with dead serious, inanity with politics (synonymous?), snark galore, and sprinkles in idiosyncratic posts with breaking news. We aggregate stories from multiple sources, provide original content, have fun with visuals, and always appreciate reader input. We get some of our best tips from you!

BLUNT has its own page now, too. You can find it at ThePoliticalCarnival.net/Blunt. BLUNT is a series of webisodes that allow you to use your voice to express your views about anything you want. Kind of like Twitter on video. It’s a grassroots effort to provide an outlet for anyone and everyone, from notables to everyday people. For more details, go to the BLUNT page.

Paddy lives in Indiana. She’s the Lou Grant to Laffy’s Mary Tyler Moore, and has an astute mind to go with her acerbic wit. However, she looks nothing like Ed Asner. Due to many years being acerbic, sarcastic and annoyingly opinionated she decided the blogging would be the only way to not have her head explode during the Bush years and it just kinda stuck.

You’re wildly encouraged  to offer me free stuff at Paddy at ThePoliticalCarnival dot Net.

GottaLaff lives in California. She’s a UCLA grad and takes pride in her vast experience bellowing catcalls at what passes for TV news. Her career includes teaching theatre at a performing arts high school; TV, stage, improv/stand-up; directing, writing, you name it. You might even catch her on the radio with Lizz Winstead, Nicole Sandler, Shane-O, John Fugelsang, Angie Coiro, or anyone who will have her. Laffy’s posts tend to go for the lighter–okay, demented–side, suitable for pointing and laughing.

You can reach Laffy at:  GottaLaff at ThePoliticalCarnival dot Net.
