New York Times Columnists (need to register at NYT.com, the jerks)
William Safire is an expert writer, so one can often gain a clear understanding of some aspect of his subject, and he is ideologically pure. He is a libertarian, civil and economic, and American interests (more like the interests of the rich in America) unabashedly come first. In no way a party hack, he fearlessly states what he believes. I do question his information sometimes, such as his claim that higher taxes “contributed to the Great Depression”).
Thomas L. Friedman only makes points when he has one to make; otherwise, he gracefully provides some piece of news.
