Last call for January's comments. Despite closing most of the archives to comments, spammers inundate the site with close to 1,000 junk comments a week. This makes it necessary to close comments. Worth revisiting in January include posts on George W. Bush's second inauguration and those protesting it, the Iraqi elections, stingy Europeans calling Americans stingy, the Armstrong Williams-Bush Administration payola scandal, and the U.S. government calling off the search for the Holy Grail, eh, I mean WMDs in Iraq. Speak your peace before you can't speak no more.
