CoTV Obamaitis
Welcome to the February 11, 2008 edition of carnival of the vanities. Obamaitis is a term I came up with for this piece.
FitBuff presents Double Dipping – An Actual Study of the Seinfeld Term! posted at FitBuff.com’s Total Mind and Body Fitness Blog, saying, “Well, several years after the legendary double dipping scene, a researcher (presumably a big Seinfeld fan) decided to test whether this practice was completely harmless or as disgusting as the accusing actor would have you believe…”
DotLobby presents Bad Dates – How to Eject Safely and Easily! posted at DotGirlfriend.com, saying, “But, its too late now. Youre in the cockpit and the plane is going down!

Rob Moshe presents title posted at Rob Schaumer, saying, “This is not necessarily a fitting post for your carnival. Once the project starts, each day I will recognize a fellow blogger that “Helped””
Avant News presents Italy Pins Stability Hopes on Medfly posted at Avant News.
GrrlScientist presents New Bird Discovered in Nepal posted at >Living the Scientific Life, saying, “Another new subspecies of bird has been described, this one, in Nepal! Includes lots of pictures.”
John Brown presents The day after Super Tuesday in Kansas… A letter to Senator Barack Obama… posted at Prepare Yourselves for a Settlement, saying, “A letter to Barack Obama reminds him of the responsibility that comes with creating a fervent political following.”
Joshua Wagner presents Instant Gratification Doesnt Always Mean Instant Success posted at Total Possibility, saying, “In a world of Million Dollar Prizes, and surgeries that can make us skinny in a few months, we have gotten used to the idea of instant gratification. The problem with instant gratification is that it often has consequences down the line that are not always foreseeable, nor is instant gratification as fulfilling as actually doing the work necessary to achieve true success. It is the difference between robbing a bank and earning a paycheck- one comes with potentially dire consequences, and the other, while taking a bit longer, achieves the same ends through a meaningful expression of our abilities.”
That concludes this edition. Submit your blog article to the next edition of carnival of the vanities using our carnival submission form.
