Thank you Crooks and Liars, it's been an honor to dance in a new year with you and our 28 or so bloggers this week. I hope to be with you again soon!

We've got a lot on our plate this month, let's get to the links.

Dave Dubya's Freedom Rants asks and answers the burning question of "What is Conservativism?"
