okay, this is getting way way off-topic, but that Times-is-a-liberal-rag bit is a balloon that really needs to be popped. When you've got David Brooks and John Tierney lording over the op-ed page, you're hardly a lefty rag. You can look at any journalism study published by any source other than the Heritage Foundation to find that the Times editorial and front-section coverage is far less "liberal" than any number of other papers.
