Welcome to this, the umteenth edition of the Carnival of the Capitalists. I’ve hosted it around my birthday since the carnival began. Feel free to have a look around while you’re here. Note that I have a “best of samaBlog” section in the sidebar on the right, if you’re looking for some of my writings to read. I’ve just come back from my honeymoon two weeks ago, and with all the holiday stuff going on and the insane amounts of snow here in Boston, I’m just a wee bit behind on my blogging. But I need to get this done, as I’ll be unable to do any of it tomorrow from work.

Incidentally, in reviewing these entries, it seems as the Carnival has become dominated by sole practitioners offering silly how-to type entries in blogs that have extraordinarily few entries to begin with, blogs infested with trackback spam, and submissions that seemingly have been made to every damn carnival under the sun. I used my editorial discretion to eliminate most of these types of submissions. If you don’t like that, go suck an egg. The Carnival I joined and have hosted for what, 4 years running, started out as a much more intellectual and frankly interesting enterprise than that. If it isn’t any more, then I’ll probably decline to come back next year…

So with THAT out of the way here it goes, with a heavy editorial hand:
