Kevin Drum Goes Cold Turkey on the Times
The Washington Monthly:
SO LONG, AND THANKS FOR ALL THE WORDS....This isn't the biggest deal in the world, but I think I'm going to stop linking to New York Times op-eds and columns starting now. Yesterday's announcement made it clear they no longer want to engage with the hoi polloi, and in any case their op-ed page will be off limits to all of us nonsubscribers in September anyway. So why wait?Me? I know I'll be scrabbling around in the ashtrays of the internets, looking for half-smoked butts of Krugman columns for months after I lose access.
It was nice while it lasted, though.

I have to say that, as an at-home subscriber to the Times for decades, it has really burned me to have to pay for "archival" material. I'm sorry that the paper will be so expensive to everyone else, of course. But the prospect of No More Clippings is milk and honey.
