Carnival of Personal Finance is up.



RINO Sightings is up. Recomended: World According to Nick, Pigilito Says,

Dr. Sanity has a long and thoughtful post about the civil rights movement and the fact that they have moved away from their previous ideals.

Instapundit makes a good point in one of his rare site editorials. There's a difference between real torture and just icky.
