Carnival of Personal Finance is up! I got a couple ideas for new articles by developing what was there.

"Genius is 1% inspiration, 99% perspiration"



...and some amount of pure dumb luck. Accidental Invention Points to End of Light Bulbs



Not to mention a certain amount of hype, hokum, and blarney:

Tests of Fabled Archimedes Death Ray Fail

Well, it seems as if President Bush has redeemed himself with a highly qualified nomination to a post that's at least as important as Supreme Court: Bush Picks Bernanke As New Fed Chairman. Unlike Greenspan, he seems to have acquired the idea that some inflation is healthy - an idea with which I agree. Especially since once confirmed, Fed Chairmen tend to stay as long as they want to, this seems a gooid choice on the face of it.



Looks like Wall Street agrees .

Victor Davis Hanson has an exercise in perspective.



**********




Armies of Liberation talks about Yemen's duplicity in the War on Terror and their aid to terrorists who assaulted the Cole.

Carnival of Capitalists is up! Recommended: Jack Yoest for a worthwhile post about why government isn't more efficient.



Jeff Jarvis has a post about amateurism that's better than most of what was there.

For TTLB: I support the Miers nomination. Yes, there are people out there more qualified. No, she isn't my first choice, nor my 100th. But she is more qualified than many justices who have served with distinction. The man we elected President nominated her, and absent more convincing evidence of unsuitability than I've seen thus far, she should be confirmed. This is all part of what we've been saying for the past five years to get Mr. Bush's other judicial appointments confirmed as opposed to filibustered. I happen to believe it, and not just for reasons of cognitive dissonance. This was an area where the founders intentionally gave the ability to nominate to our chief executive, not a committee of senators or anyone else, as the one person who has won a national election.

Michael Yon has a post up called "Purple Fingers" about the second election in Iraq. Read it. It's mostly remarkable for what it doesn't report, violence.
