Paying for Dowd

From now on, we'll have to pay $50 a year...

...for this:

Of course, it's taken Junior only five years to learn how smart his old man was.

His father made the "mistake" of not conquering and occupying Iraq because he had the silly idea that Iraqis would resent it. His father made the "mistake" of raising taxes, not cutting them, and overly obsessing about the federal deficit. And his father made the "mistake" of hewing to the center, making his base mad and losing his bid for re-election.

Yep. Starting tomorrow, you have to pay $50 a year to get the NYTimes' highest-demand features online.

I give it two years before it is quietly dropped.

I read the Editor & Publisher article on the new Times subscriber plan. The phrase that kept coming up from the Times' management types were variations of 'everyone agreed with this'.
It seems to be a curse of the modern management class to confuse consensus with the truth.

Wow!!! I haven't read that hag, Maureen Dowd, for a while now. She really has become a caricature of herself.

My mistake, but when I was scanning through, my first thought was that we were all going to be paying $50 per year for the WOT debt payments.
