John Tierney no longer to eat space on NYT's Op-Ed pages

:thumbsup:

Now I can ignore him in the Science Times.

Whatever they do the next two years, I won’t be here to kick them around. This is my last column on the Op-Ed page. I’ve enjoyed the past couple of years in Washington, but one election cycle is enough. I’m returning full time to the subject and the city closest to my heart: science and New York. I’ll be writing a column and a blog for the Science Times section.

I hate to abandon my libertarian comrades here fighting in the belly of the beast, but this is the right moment to leave. After six years of libertarians reluctantly electing Republicans as the lesser of two evils, we’ve finally had enough. We’ve voted out big-government conservatism, and the result is the happy state of gridlock. For now, our work is done. See you in January in a new column on a new page.

1. When they fire David Brooks I will resubscribe.

But not before. When will the neocon purge extend to the NYT????

2. Translation: Nobody reads me behind the paywall

Times Select has its first defection.
