A Festivus for the Rest of Us!

Happy holidays, everyone! This columnist will be on vacation for a little while, so you may not see as many posts from me in the coming days.

But to keep yourself occupied, I encourage you to enter our predictions contest. Ponder the following:

What Nugget of Horror&trade will George Bush announce on Christmas Eve, when no one is paying attention?

How long into 2005 will Rumsfeld remain in the administration?

Are those two questions related?

Merry Christmas, and I'll see you next year!
