The night before Obama is sworn in, HuffPost is co-hosting a pre-Inaugural ball at the Newseum in Washington. Just before midnight we will have a Countdown to a New Era. It's a new era not just because Bush will be out and Obama in, but because taking on the challenges America is facing will require a new era of citizen engagement. To illustrate this we are putting together a video that will symbolize...

Arianna Huffington and company thought that if they floated the idea that the site was worth $200 million back in the news-heavy spring, nobody would notice. But they didn't count on calculator-wielding Simon Dumenco, who looked at the site's competitors and promptly declared Lady Huff "cracked out." But that doesn't mean it won't be worth that much someday . "Maybe the Huffington Post could be worth...

The Huffington Post has added some class to its celebrity lineup in the form of an “Author and Distinguished Professor of Education and Senior University Scholar at the University of Illinois at Chicago“… I agree with Dirty Harry…Ace makes the best point: Arianna Huffington is a disgusting star-fucker who would blow Adolf Hitler to get a table [...]

The menial task of trying to put a valuation on The Huffington Post continues in earnest, with the latest estimate from Simon Dumenco, which pegs the brash Greek pundit's homepage at just $2 million, a far cry from the $200 million figure thrown around as investors piled on. And why does HuffPo even deserve a [...]

The NYTimes' Ned Martel profiles three of the new faces on Saturday Night Live — all women, by the way — two of whom are gearing up for cable news personality parodies. Michaela Watkins (left), who has already played Arianna Huffington , may be getting ready to do a send up of an MSNBC prime time star: Ms. Watkins suggested that her next target could be Rachel Maddow but maybe first a spin as Cloris...

In this episode, Stephen remembers the “father of LSD,” Albert Hofmann, and contacts a Hero from the International Space Station. He also interviews Arianna Huffington. The highlight of the show for me is the Garrett Reisman segment. It’s awesome when he spins the WristSTRONG bracelet, and Stephen’s excitement during the interview is contagious. OMG! Space! Here [...]

2008 was a very memorable year, featuring one of the most unforgettable presidential campaigns in history. But with the New Year quickly approaching, and the Bush Years coming to an end, I'd like to take a moment to focus on the things that happened over the last twelve months that I'd love to forget. Here's my list: That Eliot Spitzer likes things "you might not think are safe." That Dick Cheney still...

Anderson Cooper is interviewed by Choire Sicha in the Los Angeles Times, and the CNN anchor talks about the internet and life after the election. "I miss our nightly meetings with 20 different analysts," he says. "I was joking with some of them that I feel like we should convene panels in my home on the weekends and go over polls that don't exist." When asked why he doesn't just "quit your job and...

For Arianna Huffington's latest article titled "Laissez-Faire Capitalism Should Be as Dead as Soviet Communism" , I have decided that Ms. Huffington has transcended the ranks from political wing nut hack, to a full and total cunt. I hate using that word, I really do, but I can see no other title fitting. The opening stinger of Huffington's article is this "The collapse of Communism as a political system...
