Did this ad in support of wikileaks appear in the NYTs today?

1. I don't know but boy, can they garner some support! Ninety-two thousand

signatures! Hell, we only get 5,000 - 8,000 for some of the ones we sign.

I'm interested to see if this did run, I hope so. Thanks for posting it.

And, just to add, my friend and her husband just headed to Australia for four weeks and I told her to tell everybody that we were supporting Julian Assange!

2. I usually don't post to GD for a question like this

but couldn't figure out a different way to find out.

I hope your friends have a great time. :hi:

3. Yes, I get the dead tree version of the NYT

and the ad (just the letter part) was a full page. But honest, who really gets the paper version of the NYT? I don't know. I've been getting it for 25-30 years, and it's a habit. Plus we get the educator's rate, which makes it not too expensive. So for the past 25-30 years, I take the front section while mr. frazzled takes the arts section; then we trade, and I read the arts section and do the crossword while he reads the front section and then reads obituaries out loud to me (so many intersting ones).

But I stray, because I had a Grey Goose martini and two glasses of Cloze Hermitage tonight. Yes, the ad was there.

4. Thank you, frazzled. We used to get it

in all its blue plastic glory until they refused to cover the election problems in 2004. 'Way back then, there were a number of these objects outside about 1/4 of my neighbors' homes. Today, not so much. So I didn't have anyone I could check with.
