Welcome to this "special" Sunday, November 22, 2009 edition of On the Moneyed Midways, where in each week's edition, we present the best posts we found among the best of the previous week's business and money-related blog carnivals!
Longtime OMM readers will recognize what we really mean by "special" - it's our synonym for "late." Long story short, the edition you see below was all set to post on last Friday, but a technical glitch derailed the best laid plans of our editorial team of mice and men, who all opted to take a long weekend and therefore didn't notice that things had not gone according to plan.
The good news is that at least the mice are back at work, spinning the exercise wheels that power each edition of On the Moneyed Midways. The best posts of the week that was are finally ready for your review....
