Sign of Hope?

At this moment, the seventh-most emailed article from the website of The New York Times is one about an open source statistics software package called R.

Is this related to the looming departure of Bush and inauguration of Geek-in-Chief Obama? Are Americans falling in love with data-driven, reality-based analysis all over again?

On the other hand, the second-most emailed article is one about squirrels -- it's the new white meat! So maybe everyone wants to learn about R because they figure it'll help them pick better lottery numbers.
