Absolutely nothing wrong with it. Please, come visit the Times editorial board soon, but we have no-smoking building.

The issue of drug testing is a matter of corporate policy, and I don't make corporate policy, and neither does anyone else in the editorial department. I was asked about this the other day by Chris Hayes and I said that if they asked me, I would say we should stop testing for marijuana use, but that I'm not all that sure I will be asked.

I think the candidates should be honest in saying what their views are. This is just not a third-rail issue anymore. I'm hoping that a serious candidate will in fact endorse the repeal of the federal ban on weed. If I were moderating a debate in 2016, assuming things go on like they are now, then I would certainly ask about it. With any luck, more progress will have been made on this issue by then.

What we have called for is an end to the federal marijuana ban, which will allow states to decide for themselves, based on the very kind of value judgments that David made in his column, and in other places. David would agree with us that the federal ban should be ended. He would then go on to argue that states should not legalize recreational use. That is just the kind of debate we need to have about marijuana.

Yes it is easier now than it ever was, because we have many more jobs for younger people since we integrated our print newsroom with our web newsroom. It certainly should be possible. I don't have any openings right now, but you should apply to the Times newsroom if you're really interested.

That was one of the best corrections ever. But it was to a news article, and I don't have anything to do with the news articles.
