August 7, 2007 — The New York Times is poised to stop charging readers for online access to its Op-Ed columnists and other content, The Post has learned.

…

While other online publications were abandoning subscriptions, the Times took the opposite approach in 2005 and began charging for access to well-known writers, including Maureen Dowd, Frank Rich and Thomas L. Friedman.

Especially since he doesn’t even rate a mention as a well known writer.

Personally I can’t wait to see how he reconciles his French Family Values article with the recent election of Nicholas Sarkozy. Maybe he will go the DC Comics route and claim that happened on Earth 212 and on the main timeline Al Gore actually won the 2000 US Presidential election and rode into office to stop global warming, defeat Al-Qaeda with his steely stare and sophorific voice, and ascend to heaven on winged white horse after revealing God’s will as described in golden tablets given to him by Xenu and translated with a Little Orphan Annie decoding ring.

My only question is why God would want us to drink more Ovaltine.
