The New York Times is going to wall off some of its content, once again, on its website. Let's see if this works.

Not many details, but it appears if you subscribe to the paper, then you're in. The rest of us get a set amount of articles for free, then once you pass that amount, you get dinged for whatever the monthly subbie rate is.

I gotta believe the amount of freebies is going to be pretty low, otherwise, why have it? But until they figure out what the plans are, we can hold off on the squawking for a time.

Comic strips that need to die. If you even take the time to scan the comics these days, you'll find them mainly without laughs. Link to the 2008 article and you'll see the ones you thought should be mentioned in that piece (e.g. Funky Winkerbean).

Nate Silver was right again on Massachusetts. Then again, he's never wrong. Is Scott Brown really left of Olympia Snowe?

Sundance starts this weekend. Has to get better, no?

"Pants on the Ground". And we wonder why they hate us.

Britney loves Stewie. Maybe he can write her a song.
