I got sidelined by a Business Week article that I read last week, and what began as a single post on debt collection practices spawned a series of posts on the other pseudo-scams that credit card issuers use to keep people in debt. It’s a little off-topic for me, but I’ve enjoyed describing the horrors of the penalty rate scam.

This was a busy week for me, so I only got one, somewhat superficial post in. It’s basically just a link to The Story of Stuff with a couple of my own comments on it. However, this week or next I hope to start a monthly book review. Also, I think this “Shameless Self Promotion” thing is such a good idea that I’d like to start my own - on Wednesdays so as not to compete with this site. I certainly appreciate the opportunity to tell people about my work - thanks.

It wasn’t actually this week, but I haven’t been writing much lately, and every police/law-enforcement abuse like this one infuriates me, so I’ll post the link here.
I simply offered my commentary on a story I read on Radley Balko’s blog, theagitator.com, about the abuses and lack of accountability that characterize the War on Drugs: Gonzalo Guizan: another death by drug war
