Tierney: It's hard to say what's going to happen. I'm glad they're trying to find a way to make the Web pay. The libertarian in me thinks you've got to be self-supporting, and just giving away content is not a long term strategy. That said, I'm concerned that conservatives and libertarians may be reluctant to pay for New York Times editorial content and opinion. I won't pay.

I look forward to reading this guy, glad the libertarians could get a foot in the door. Libertarianism ideas generally catch on quick if they are given exposure.

I want the US to have 2 political parties:
Party A -- Conservative on Social issues and Conservative (but perhaps not nearly enough!) on economic issues.
Party B -- Liberal on Social issues and Conservative on economic issues.
I'd always vote Party A.
But Party C (Liberal on Social issues and Liberal on economic issues) needs to fade away.

From time to time, Ill ping on noteworthy articles about politics, foreign and military affairs. FReepmail me if you want on or off my list.
If anyone notices regular OpEd columns from John Tierney or David Brooks being syndicated in other papers around the country, please let me know because I can't pay good money for the only Times' writers that don't make me embarrassed. Please let me know even if it's days old. I simply can't send money to the NY Times.

Reason: What do people get most exercised about?Tierney: Anything that is construed as defending Bush really raises people's hackles.

Wow! We have a libertarian afraid to let the market decide who makes money off editorial writing. Maybe he's ready to join Hookers For Chastity Belts.

Tierney: Anything that is construed as defending Bush really raises people's hackles. When I was at the Times Magazine I wrote a piece about recycling that set the record for hate mail. The mayor of Pittsburgh wrote an op-ed demanding that I apologize to the city after I wrote a column about the problems with eminent domain there that I'd seen. We just have very different views of eminent domain. I was concernedâI am from Pittsburgh and I love it, it's got great neighborhoods that haven't been touched by eminent domainâthat people would think I didn't like Pittsburgh.Marty, yinz think that this deserves a ping n'at?
