I actually paid for Times Select and still didn’t bother to read Dowd, Friedman, Krugman, Herbert, or any of the other columnists at the New York Times. But now that the content is free again I went over and took a look. Maureen Dowd’s column is the just incomprehensible…I gave up about two-thirds of the way down. But Friedman seems to have flat-out cribbed from my Pissing it All Away and GOP’s Tax Message Wearing Thin pieces.
Which means, of course, that I largely agree with him. I just wish he’d admit he’s reading blogs to get his inspiration.
On another topic, I was glad to see the Giants beat the Jets today. I was beginning to think that no sports team I like would ever win again. And if the Yanks lose today I’ll be right back to grumpy.
