Most popular posts -- recap of seven months of blogging.

While this place is on semi-hiatus, here, for what it's worth, is the best of what seven months of blogging has produced -- as measured by what people have chosen to read, forward and link to. (Not including posts on Social Security, which are elsewhere.)

These posts are pretty much in order of how many people have looked at them, and so presumably in general order of interest...
