Wednesday Reading

Ah, the joys of Wednesday mornings ... a panoply of thoughtful delights, courtesy of the Watcher of Weasel's weekly nominations from the Watcher's Council.

My two nominations this week were my piece on regulated efficiency vs. the free market, High-Efficiency Woes, and for the first time for me, a nomination for Tigrrrr Express, Liberals and Sopranos -- A Buildup To Nothingness, which I thought was quite good even though I've never seen a Sopranos episode. (Yeah, I know ...)
