Held up by many columns

I picked up a copy of The Times here in Shreveport, and took a look at the editorials: one actual editorial (on the burial of the N-word), one local column, Leonard Pitts and Jonah Goldberg. Not too unusual an array.

But on the second page of the section (which is dubbed "Conversations"), there is a complete list of all the columns carried by the paper, on what days of the week they appear, and, if syndicated, a "liberal" or "conservative" tag as appropriate. Ellen Goodman (Wednesday) is "liberal"; Michelle Malkin (Saturday) is "conservative." I wouldn't argue with any of these, particularly, though David Broder (Friday) is marked "liberal/moderate," which almost demands a "Since when?" Still, this is a peachy idea, and kudos to The Times for implementing something I haven't seen anywhere else.
