Editors Note: Please alert me if you detect omissions or errors. Links received after 9 p.m. CDT will appear later today 3 September.
Next Week: Solport will host Carnival of the Vanities #51 on 10 September.
Disclaimer: I'm looking forward to HBO's Carnivale, which premiers Sunday 14 September at 9:30 p.m. ET. It looks like just the kind of weird TV show I like. I hope no one gets too upset with me for taking liberties with their photos for my Carnival of the Vanities theme. Let's just call this a pre-homage and a little free publicity. :-)
