By the way . . .

Traffic in December was excellent, making December the second-best month in the history of the blog aside from the November 2011 Instalanche, when the popular site Instapundit linked to a post here and gave me nearly 30,000 visitors in one day. This is not a high-traffic blog, so that month became the all-time leader in the absence of another link from Instapundit. Still, December traffic was good, so thank you all. Keep coming by.
