I love the weekend link-fest. There's always something interesting, surprising, or important there that I would have missed otherwise. Thanks so much for doing the hard work of finding and posting these.

Thank you for posting the link: “Some worldview differences between self-described conservatives and liberals.” I saved a PDF print out of the pole because of the Liberal contradiction.
I scratched my head when reviewing the charts on the strong, positive feelings with both Conservatives and Liberals about “Small Business, Free Enterprise and Entrepreneurs” versus Liberals negative feelings about “Capitalism.”
As defined at the bottom of the article, I was also taught that they are, pretty much one and the same.
I think Liberals need to start educating themselves about what a “Free Market” is and stop relying so much on the media to educate them.

Just wanted to say thanks for managing such a wonderful blog for traders. In the cycle of adding source after source of information on Trading, then deciding that outside influences were not necessarily a good thing, and subsequently cutting back on almost everything…I find that your blog continues to add value and is a keeper. Thanks for all the attention and advice you provide us.
