I've checked my own referer logs for this month (January) and I haven't seen
the Joe Leiberman referer spam, although I did see Wesley Clark referer spam
(I guess if it's good for one, it's good for the other) and plenty of sites
hawking the Paris Hilton (although why the Paris Hilton needs such
advertisements is beyond me—are they going bankrupt there or something?). And
in an incredible display of tackiness or cluelessness (or both!), I got
referer spam from StarProse Corporation [2] which has an article about how
bad referer spam is [3].

And Andrew Jackson [4] is still the most popular thing being linked to here.
