Pat Sajak article in the Wall Street Journal
« on: September 28, 2015, 11:38:57 PM »
FTR, Pat Sajak is the subject of an article in the Weekend Edition (9/26-27) of the Wall Street Journal. Topics include his longevity as a host, his politics and Twitter feeds, and his attitude of bemusement in general. I would provide a link but it's a pay site.

Had no problems with a paywall or anything. It actually was an interesting read, esp. his backstory.

Weird, I got the paywall after the first paragraph.

Ditto. Happily, BugMeNot is still a thing.
If you didn’t create it, it isn’t your content.

Yes, it is--but I just got a message saying wsj.com has been banned from BugMeNot.

Yeah, the WSJ site is kind of weird like that. I've found that usually I can get around the paywall by searching for the article on Google and then clicking on the link that comes up.

Didn't realize that was the trick...it's actually how I backed into the article with no paywall. Thanks Mike and jalman for that tip.
