Week 98 (May 16) - Conservative Cat
Week 99 (May 23) - Available

If you're interested in hosting an upcoming edition of the Bonfire let me know via e-mail.

Update: The Bonfire of the Vanities dishonors crappy posts by otherwise excellent bloggers. The entries cover all manner of topics, and are self-judged by the submitters to be especially crappy. Since there's no such thing as too much specialization, there's now a carnival for posts that are actually about crap - The Carnival of the Crappers.
