My, Oh, My!!!

TIMES SELECT IS NO LONGER SELECT!!! In a move favoring the (wired and wirelessly wired) proletariat, the nytimes.com has done away with its bourgeois, premium service, and is now offering opinions and archives and SERIAL! ILLUSTRATED! COLUMNS! for FREE!!! They just want you to blog about it, and thank their capitalist partners "sponsoring" that week's freeness. This week, thank goodness for AmEx!
