WordPress decided to rearrange itself while I slept last night, requiring readers to log in and closing comments on the previous post. Sorry ’bout that. I believe I have the bullshit train back on the tracks, but if you discover otherwise, holler.
• Late update: Checking the back-end, some posts still display as “comments closed.” I don’t know what causes this, but I’ve seen it before. I’ve re-enabled comments on a couple of recent posts, but further research will have to wait, as I’m up to my tits in the Giro right now. So holler via e-mail if you feel stifled. I don’t unplug people with whom I disagree, I tell them to get fucked — in the nicest possible way, of course.

Patrick,
Some posts allow comments, while others appear not to….obviously. Just saying….
