Polite Dissent

It’s time to pause and take a moment to look at what search phrases brought folks to Polite Dissent. The usual suspects (Dave Trampier, Gor, Hawk and Dove, Zatanna) were all near the top, joined this month by quite a few searches for both the Bing Crosby/David Bowie “Little Drummer Boy” and the apalling Beach Boys song “Little Saint Nick.”

Search phrases are in green. My comments — if any were required — are italicized.
