TOM SMITH: “Is there anything wrong with spending gobs of money on yourself?”

UPDATE: In a classic blog-fallacy, Sloppy Thoughts thinks I’m approving Smith’s analysis by linking it. Er, no — surely anyone who reads InstaPundit much would know me better than that!

Just to be clear, though, the answer to Tom’s question is “no.” And, furthermore, there’s nothing wrong with other people spending gobs of money on me, either! Just in case Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos or somebody is wondering about that . . . .
