Comments are currently disabled, because leaving them enabled led to my host shutting this site down temporarily on Friday and on Saturday. The commenting script was using a lot of CPU for a reason I haven't looked into yet, but it may be a bug, or a MovableType "feature", or it may have been abuse. Regarding the last, I note that I had two short busloads of "liberals" coming by here recently (this and this), but whether it's related to that I don't know.
