#3 I had wondered what happened to Maureen Dowd. I think that poor, old woman is in need of a good man.

#10 Just one more example that in a market system, price is set by what consumers are willing to pay. From the response here, Maureen would be better off selling something besides her columns. Any idea how many subscribers they actually had?

#13 Who cares? I shocked a telephone solicitor who was offering a move-in offer of three months home delivery of the NYT by telling him I wouldn't read it if he paid me. When he asked why, I said that they "just make stuff up" and that what they print usually has no bearing on reality. The NYT, once a great paper, is now just a partisan broadsheet.
