Merry Christmas from the Cabal!

We at the Cabal of Style wish all those of those who chose to celebrate this holiday a merry Christmas. On a side note, if you're escaping from holiday festivities into the blogisphere Dan Drezner has a link to a story in the Chicago Tribune about the changes in consumer behavior and the popularization of the credit card in the nations of the former Eastern Bloc. To me, the applications to Iraq seem obvious. They're already gettin mobile phones. Can plastic be far behind?
