Who's Your Favorite New York Times Writer?

A classic Gawker gimmick: Who's Your Favorite New York Times writer, and what does that say about you?

My two favorites - David Leonhardt, who appears to be also be Stephen Colbert's favorite, and Joe Nocera, who's been on book leave forever and a day - aren't actually on there.

But of the ones that are, I'm apparently terrified that people will find out I don't actually read the New York times.
