So much time, so little to do…
…Wait. Scratch that. Reverse it.
Lots going on today. Spanky is at the vet for the saddest day in a young male puppy’s life. Work is hectic. And I don’t even have much time to link many stories. But, alas, certain things need to be mentioned.
First, I posted over at The FairTax Blog about whether or not prices are sticky. Many FairTax critics don’t understand that when costs go down, prices will be driven down by the market. They think greedy capitalists will just keep their prices high to rake in the profits. Rather than try to give the philosophical and economic reasoning, why not use a concrete example? I bring up gas prices, which have dropped about 50 cents/gallon from a level people can afford to pay, now that costs have dropped. What forced the price down? Competition.
Next, a couple of carnivals going on. My article Separation was submitted to both, and highly suggest you read it if you haven’t yet. It was over the weekend, so many of you may have missed it, but I consider it to be one of my better posts as of late.
First is the Carnival of the Vanities, hosted by El Capitan at Baboon Pirates. I actually submitted two posts to this carnival, although I didn’t realize it until today. Mentioning Boortz in both posts got me a choice placement in the Carnival, so muchos gracias a El Capitan!
Second, good friend Eric has nominated the post Separation for the Watcher’s Council. Thanks Eric! We’re poised for an LLP takeover of the Watcher’s Council, with you and Rhymes With Right on the council, and posts by myself and QandO nominated!
Extra Bonus Points to whoever can name the reference I made in the title to this post. And no, the points aren’t worth anything.
