Times Select gets a blogger

The legions of loyal Suellentrop.com readers are the last to know: The New York Times has a new blog, "The Opinionator," written by yours truly. It's on Times Select, so if you've been thinking, "Hey, those New York Times columnists are worth only $48.50 a year," I'm here to provide the extra $1.45 in annual value to meet your demand curve. Though Mickey Kaus kindly writes, "Suellentrop's almost worth $49.95 by himself!"
