Hello everybody. This is the last time Altercation will be appearing on the Media Matters site. When we return after the new year, it will be on The Nation's site, and will appear rather more sporadically. Thanks to everybody for dropping by, helping out, and offering their support, encouragement, and, of course, solidarity.

You can find Altercation's new home at this URL: http://www.thenation.com/blogs/altercation. If you need to reach me in the interim, I'm at whatliberalmedia@aol.com.

So, thanks again, and a healthy, happy holiday to each and every one of us,

Eric.
