Welcome to the June 2, 2006 edition of Political Calculations' On the Moneyed Midways! Each week, we scan through all the business-oriented carnivals, seeking out the best posts which we present here for your weekend reading/catching up convenience! Plus, we've identified The Best Post of the Week, Anywhere!(TM)
Before we go further though, I'm pleased to report that none of the Carnivals we cover were presented in a Haiku format this week, for which we'll be grateful to the individual hosts forever! But enough about that - here are the best posts of the week!
