For those of you who dont know, Huffington's blog is in answer to the popularity

of conservative Matt Drudge's TheDrudgeReport...

[Kooperman]

I don't see this as anything close to The Drudge Report, which is a right-wing slanted collection of news article links. Raw Story http://www.rawstory.com/

comes much closer to being the reverse image of Drudge.

The Huffington site is a group of celebrity opinion pieces, which could prove interesting...or prove that many celebrities make lousy political observers. I hope it succeeds but the premise seems kinda shaky to me.

Liveblogging The Huffington Post: The First Time Always Hurts The Most

...10:24 am: We have reached the bottom of the page with some questions. Whither Warren Beatty and Ari Emanuel? Where are the nipple slips and the up-to-the-minute discussions of Paris Hilton’s vagina? And, for the love of God, where is the picture comparing the facial expressions of the President to one of a monkey? These crazy kids have a lot to learn about blogging.
