Cat and Mouse
It seems that the Washington Post is staying one step ahead of BugMeNot.com; all the logins are invalid. While I'll register for a site like the NYTimes or Baltimore Sun, because I can make up an email address and still use my customary username/password combination, I can't do that at WaPo because they require an email address as a login, and I'm unlikely to remember from time to time what the email address is, and I'm not filling out their silly form each time I visit without their cookie.
The end result: I don't read WaPo online articles, or see their advertisments. WaPo doesn't get my email to sell to spammers.
You can use a service such as Mailinator. I'm not sure if that'll help you.

Mmmm....I'd say if you are already reading the Times, you aren't going to miss much not getting the Post.
