e-Privatization

Maryland Governor Robert Ehrlich has just auctioned off his state yacht for $275,000—not a bad price, though significantly less than the appraised value. The twist? As Jesse noted a while back, it was sold on eBay.

I'd suggest we do more government contracts this way, but the board of directors of Halliburton might have a collective coronary. (Hat tip: Jenn "Dutch" Holland.)
