Problem: Too many damned conservative authors dominating the New York Times best-seller lists.
Solution: A Fairness Doctrine from books!

Make a note of the Hollywood celebrities featured in this health insurance industry-bashing joint production from MoveOn.org and Will Ferrell, Jon Hamm, Olivia Wilde, et al.
No word yet on whether they’ll be making a protest video about the fund-raiser for Nancy Pelosi in Washington, D.C. being hosted by UnitedHealth care lobbyist Steve Elmendorf — [...]

Nutroots compassion.

What’s more shameless than the Associated Press defying the wishes of a dying Marine’s family and splashing his bloody body all over the wires?
Why, the Huffington Post reprinting a massively large version of the image on its front page with an accompanying blog commentary praising the AP photographer’s work as “tasteful” — along with thousands [...]

“…among our prizes is a grand-prize of a trip for two to Honolulu, Hawaii…”

A whopping two people have contributed a whopping $75 to the new campaign to unseat NY GOP Rep. Peter King because he called Michael Jackson a “low-life” and a “pervert.”
HuffPo is promoting this lost cause.
Shamon!

I noted on Twitter and in my live-blog of Obama’s press conference that the president called on/coached HuffPo’s Nico Pitney in an obvious, pre-planned question on Iranians communicating through social media and the Internet.
The question itself was unobjectionable and Obama’s response was so bland and rambling I don’t remember it.
But what was noteworthy was [...]

Huff and puff.

Who’s up for a nickname contest for Arianna Huffington’s recycling website?
My suggestion: The Huffington Re-Post.
I like Whet Moser’s, too: Grand Theft HuffPo.

Fannie/Freddie fooferaw.

Want a project for the holidays? Check this out: Arianna Huffington is calling on her minions to design posters that capture their BDS spirit. It’s “A HuffPost Project: Posterizing the Modern GOP.” She hooked up with one Rich Silverstein, the guy who created the “Got Milk?” ad campaign, and came up with three posters “that [...]

Blogger for Gulfstream Liberal Queen’s website attacks conservative driving habits. Hilarity ensues.

…but HuffPo and Co. only complain when it’s directed at themselves.
No mention of hate-monger Jane Hamsher’s “b**ch is dead meat” and “sandpaper sn**ch” attacks on Kate O’Beirne.
No mention of other “feminist” attacks on independent-minded (read: non-left) bloggers–a phenomenon Dr. Helen noted here.
And, of course, no mention of this or this.
Some women are more equal than [...]

MKH notices that the Huffington Post has disallowed comments on an article about VP Cheney’s blood clot.
The first step toward recovery…

The big buzz out of the Lieberman-Lamont debate today was generated by……GOP candidate Alan Schlesinger.
Yup. Greg at The Political Pit Bull thinks he was a bit over the top, but agrees Schlesinger made the most of the debate. He’s got video highlights.
The New York Times notes that nobody talked much at the debate about the [...]

The HuffMobile
Reader Doug, who posts at FreeRepublic.com, sent this photo, which he took while covering the Sierra Club’s national summit in San Francisco last weekend. The handsome, full-size sport utility vehicle pictured above is a Chevy Suburban. It was sent by the anti-SUV environmental puritans of the Sierra Club to pick up fellow, eco-zealot Arianna [...]

Thanks to OTB, I see that Michelle’s blog, this one you’re reading right now, is the biggest, baddest blog in the world. On behalf of my co-guest bloggers, I’d like to take all of the credit for myself.
Of course I would like to take that credit, but it would be absurd to do [...]

Pssst, did you hear? Arianna Huffington’s new celebrity/grass-roots/pundit elite/progressive/whatever blog launches today. I’m informing you because, as the Huffers tell us, those evil, corporatist media meanies don’t allow enough little voices to be heard. As Hollywood moonbat-turned-Huffington blogger Laurie David crowed: “The Huffington Post is going to balance the power out there that the media [...]
