Comment:

 I agree with Jeremy.  I know comments_popup_link is not USUALLY used on a
 static page, but it seems like you should be ABLE to use it on a static
 page. Especially with static front pages.

 I think it's rather common to have a static front page, with a small
 section where the most recent, most popular, or featured posts are placed.
 It seems like a serious waste to have to duplicate the entire function
 just to drop a 2 line check.

 I'm attaching a patch for 2.7
