Carnival of the Capitalists
I've been picking the top five or so items from the Carnival of the Capitalists for several weeks now. This weeks edition focuses on selecting the top 20 of the 45 submissions. Much better than the two part laundry list of a couple weeks ago. And yet, going through the top 20, I still find about 5 which I think are a cut above the rest. I read most of the entries anyway and hopefully my weekly posts provide some sort of editorial value.
