HUFF- N- PUFF

The Huffington Post has Sparked it Up as of today. What a joke. She wants to rival The Drudge....No way! LA Weekly had this:

• Deadline Hollywood
  Arianna's Blog Blows
  Will this failure finally finish her?
  by NIKKI FINKE
• Judging from today's horrific debut of the humongously pre-hyped celebrity blog the Huffington Post, the Madonna of the mediapolitic world has gone one reinvention too many. She has now made an online ass of herself. What Arianna Huffington's bizarre guru-cult association, 180-degree conservative-to-liberal conversion, and failed run in the California gubernatorial-recall race couldn't accomplish, her blog has now done: She is finally played out publicly. This Web-site venture is the sort of failure that is simply unsurvivable, because of all the advance publicity touting its success as inevitable. Her blog is such a bomb that it's the box-office equivalent of Gigli, Ishtar and Heaven's Gate rolled into one. In magazine terms, it's the disastrous clone of Tina Brown's Talk, JFK Jr.'s George or Maer Roshan's Radar. No matter what happens to Huffington, it's clear Hollywood will suffer the consequences.

WOW....Go read it all.
Walter Cronkite had a post that I liked

• I've got some other exceedingly interesting pieces up my sleeve, like a proposal that the Democratic Party organize a convention this year to debate and resolve a platform that would provide the confused electorate some idea of what the party stands for…a regretfully missing ingredient in the politics of the moment.

I bet ole Huffy loved that! I thought Walter was anti-blog? Larry David provided some laughs with this post. A must read! The Blogroll is impressive but so far the news sucks and her guest bloggers were under 15 at my count. A big let down on opening day. Not much star power as expected.
My conclusion: I will return for the laughs! I doubt the news thing works out for Huffy.
