Tin cup for the Times

We're still taking a beating about dropping our New York Times service. So here's my idea:

Come on in to our editorial offices and read our copy. (Our subscription hasn't been cut ... yet.)

While you're here, please make a 50-cent donation to our NYT fund.

The newsstand price is a buck, so you'll be getting a real bargain. Plus, you can meet our staff and look at all the editorial cartoons that don't get into the paper because, well, how many Michael Jackson cartoons can you print?

If 68,000 of you participate in a year's time, we'll have the $34,000 we need to renew our contract.

I don't know if this proposal will be approved by higher-ups. There may be a problem securing enough guest badges to accommodate the hundreds of NYT fans who would drop by every day. But the Gray Lady is ready. Hope to see you soon.
