Oooh, that really hurts. vbg I'm an urban, globe-trotting kind of guy, speak more than one language, can tell difference between carpaccio and steak tartare, sushi and sashimi, can talk to you about history, literature and politics until the cows come home, but I'm not a liberal. More importantly, neither are 100% of the NYT urban and urbane readers, though its editorial staff somehow has deluded itself into thinking that they are. I'm not befuddled. I enjoy the NYT, and will continue to buy it in hard copy. I enjoy the sports pages, the Magazine, the great Sunday crossword, and often find gems in the Book Reviews, though I think its political pieces belong in the Style section, next to the gay wedding announcements. The creationism point I thought was misplaced. Creationism is of course a joke. Okrent inexplicably engaged in caricature in this aspect of his editorial. Since it is easily not his major point, for you to focus on it is a cheap shot. But I do understand how someone like you might think that conservatives are red neck friends of the KKK. I should have thought that GOP domination of national politics for the past few decades might have disabused you and other Dems of this kind of thinking but who ever said leftist urban pseudo-intellectuals were smart?
