Kristol Pens Last New York Times Column, Reportedly Heading To The Washington Post
Think Progress —
Last November, Weekly Standard editor and prominent neoconservative William Kristol was asked if he wanted to renew his contract as a weekly columnist with The New York Times. “I’m ambivalent,” Kristol said. “I dunno. You gotta talk to them about that. It’s been a lot of work and I’m kinda stretched a little thin. I’ll see.”
It appears Kristol has resolved his ambivalence. At the conclusion of his Times column today, an editor’s note reads, “This is William Kristol’s last column ...

Blue Gal —
I had this bubbly, happy-but-sleepless feeling all night long, that I attributed to "too much fiber." (Not the eating kind, the knitting kind. Don't play with your yarn stash after 8 p.m., is all I'm saying.) And now I find that it may be because Kristol is no longer at the Times. I have to confess, due to the delightful surprise factor, I like this one better than the one I made for Bush, but my imaginary boyfriend makes the best Obamaicon evah. Skype Salon tonight. Hope to see you there.
