This is the last Carnival of the Capitalists for 2003. What a toppsy-turvy year in the economics/business world it was.

Also, through much of the year, the economy looked to be a heavy weight on Bush’s re-election chances. […]
I’m home, but due to the Packers sneaking into the playoffs (thank you, Arizona) I’m on the phone and Net trying to get tickets for next Sunday’s game. Wish me luck.
UPDATE: My patience paid off. After a little over 1 1/2 hours of constant redialing, I got through and got my tickets. What a way […]
You still have plenty of time today to get in your entry to this week’s Carnival of the Capitalists. I’ll be at a family Christmas gathering today so the CotC won’t be up until late this evening. So far the entries are of high quality. Now, I also want a high number. Any recent economic […]
This is from an e-mail posted on The Corner:
Wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas and to let you know my wife gave me a copy of Rich Lowry’s book for Christmas…she says she saw me rearranging the book display at our local Waldenbooks - replacing all of the Franken tomes with Legacy. She then […]
If I pointed out all the “Best of” lists on others’ weblogs I’d have no time to enjoy this Christmas weekend. There is one list I will point out for you. Right Voices AKA Boycott Hollywood had a wild year. By pointed out the stupidity of certain Hollywood celebrities the William Morris Agency tried to […]
Help and aid from all over the world is headed to Iran. Unlike the 1990 earthquake that killed 36,000, the Islamic nation isn’t shunning the assistance as long as none of it is Jewish.
Officials have said this time help would be welcome from everywhere except Israel.
The mullahs should be toppled now for putting their religious […]
Some Deaniacs think President Bush is behind Mad Cow Disease arriving in the U.S. As one person wrote on Duck, M.D.’s “Forum For America,
The questionable beef comes from the Pacific Northwest, typically a Democratic stronghold. Who would most benefit from the Pac NW losing so much agricultural business? How about the Midwest and Southest, i.e. […]
The wild and wooly Christmas shopping season is my excuse for missing TAM’s 4-year anniversary. On 12.11.99, your humble weblogger uploaded his first post onto a bit of free space on Angelfire. I won’t reminisce too much because it is only TAM’s fourth birthday, and who gets all worked up about four years of anything […]

Keep the Carnival of the Capitalists entries coming. Only a few of them are “Year in Review,” “Year-End Wrap-up,” or “2004 Prediction” posts. That’s ok, but this week would be the most timely for them. Keep ‘em coming. Since the Packers are playing a late game, you have most of Sunday afternoon to get your […]
Here’s Howard the Duck’s Christmas message:
Today, for just a single day out of the year, much of the world recognizes a day of peace. It is a day when we set aside our differences and come together to celebrate an ideal of a world free from hate, free from want and free from war.
“Over the […]
Just because Christmas is over, don’t think that me and other retail workers will be taking it easy. Schools are out until after New Year’s Day and many workers take their last few days of vacation for the year. Add that to the large numbers of gift cards given this Christmas and the inevitable gift […]

And heav’n and heav’n and nature sing.
Joy to the world! the Saviour reigns;
Let men their songs […]
