NYTimes Op/Ed Extravaganza!
I am SO excited!
Being a snooty New Yorker by proxy I love me some NY Times. Their web site has been the way of choice to read it for me. About four years ago they changed their site creating Times Select: a subscription service where you can get articles about certain subjects emailed to you, their op/ed pieces, and access to back issues going back to... when ever their content becomes public domain. The first two of those services were absolutely free before that, of course.
What would I do without my Nicholas Kristoph! Or my beloved queen of snark Maureen 'I should be writing for Designing Women but instead I am a journalist' Dowd. Tom Friedman leaves a bad taste in my mouth now a days, what with the whole Iraq War RULZ thingie. And nobody blows smoke up your ass like Frank Rich (who I guiltily enjoy).
Well, starting tomorrow (I believe) we will have access to the Op/Ed pages once more! Of course, in those four years I stopped reading traditional media and became hooked on the likes of Talking Points Memo and Daily Kos and it is sad watching great giants of journalism drag their neanderthal knuckles of paleo-journalism together towards extinction with dinosaur-blog newspapers.
But at least for a few weeks I can enjoy Dowd's tangy fluff!

And I hope you glaucoma, or what ever it is, improves with the copious smoking of god's medicine ^_~
Michael Savage is a total embarrassment to the entire genre of frothy-mouthed, hypersensitive, pernicious and xenophobic political pundits... which is saying a lot. Damn, I am guilty of a slightly ironic double entendre! But in any case, if I go to San Fran its for City Lights Books, my friends, wandering around while everyone is at work and smoking medicinal herb.
Jason: It could be worse. Have you read Huffington Post? Now that is a liberal train wreck.
