NY Times Kudos? Now I'm starting to worry. Ann was right!
I'm not worried if it's from a Brooks or Tierney OpEd column. OpEd columns from Rich, Dowd, Krugman or Herbert, like masthead editorials from the New York Times Editorial Board, are almost always reliably dimissed 99.44 percent of the Time.
OpEd Contributors, like today's by Jeffrey Rosen, are more like ships passing in the night never to be paseed again, and may be useful for insights like the occasional Kristof or Friedman OpEd column.
N.B. Rosen has always struck me as a leftist.
Brooks is the NYT's token Republican, who also writes for Weekly Standard. Not to worry.
