Welcome to the Saturday, June 27, 2009 edition of On the Moneyed Midways, the one place you can count on each week to bring you the best of what we found in the world of business and money-related blog carnivals!
Long-time readers will know that we don't have late editions of OMM. No-sir-ee! Instead, we have "special" editions of OMM!
Of course, our "special" editions are in no way really distinguishable from our "regular" editions, but it sure sounds a lot better than "late!"
But we're late enough as it is, so let's get onto the best posts we found in the week that was!..."
