I figured she’d move to Colorado.

So, how many columns does she write currently for the Times? I ask as someone who has been actively avoiding her columns for a few years now.
Because this sounds suspiciously like someone is being put out to pasture.

Can’t figure out if this will be a Promotion, a Demotion, or a Sideways move. Like most Progressives, I am SO over her.
I was fatalistically waiting her to start writing her mean-girl slam and shred pieces on Hillary with dread.

Hey, you haven’t lived until you’ve heard a Denver pot dispensary in a TV commercial tout it’s location – ‘right next to the neighborhood grocery store where they have an expanded Munchie aisle!’-- as a selling point.
put me in the ‘out to pasture’ column… between reliving the panty-sniffing clinton years and the constant attacks against ‘barry’, she’s definitely run out of topics and is being demoted. i, too, rarely read her columns; but i do enjoy the comments that typically follow calling out her shallow and snotty commentary.

The NYT and this writer are a plain embarrassment.

Oh, she’ll still be bashing Hillary. It will just be in weekly and longer pieces in the magazine.
Dowd has a problem with women who are smarter than she, and she’ll continue to demonstrate that.

Better pot commentary?
You want some real entertainment, read the comments after any David Brooks column. Bobo never ceases to amuse.

Unfortunately, she will still write a Sunday editorial. I had such high hopes when I read the headline of this post.

Perhaps NYT Mag has a better chardonnay expense program.
Either way, who cares.

Too bad they didn’t send Ms. Dowd to host Meet the Press. THAT would be truly entertaining.
twice a week-wednesdays and sundays. i thought from the title that her column would be discontinued, but it is being cut in half-although maybe this is a face saving maneuver and the sunday column will be ended in short order.

Funny how the privileged always fail upward.

RE: Drug testing continues at NYT despite the editorial endorsing legalization:
I spent most of my career as CEO of non-profits. I’ve also been a pot smoker since the 60’s and a long-time supporter of NORML. Nonetheless, after a warning, I would fire any employee I found was getting stoned or drunk on the job. Keep it out of the workplace. Save it for evenings and weekends and vacation, that is, recreation time not work time. I say this because I know just how f-ed up I get sometimes, never mind the forgetfulness.
