meee too!
Just found a site today that'll help you get around WaPo registration:
http://bugmenot.com/
If you are on a Washington Post page, or most any other, and Right Click, then Properties, you can copy the URL from the Properties box, and that link will work from the address bar, or as a direct link from here.
Often the print friendly page works as a direct link as well.
I don't why this works but I take advantage of it all the time. I have noticed it doesn't work in every single case even at the same site.
