Arianna is coming!
Arianna Huffington has a huge new celebrity-stuffed group blog debuting May 9th, called The Huffington Post. The New York Times has a puff piece about the upcoming blog and Mack over at LAVoice.org has taken note. I'm looking forward to the blog. Arianna is the best thing on KCRW's Left, Right and Center and even though I did not vote for her for Governor of California in 2003, I think she is exactly the right person to spark a nexus between celebrity, left-leaning politics and the blogosphere. And anything which explicitly bills itself as competition to The Drudge Report, edited by a self-hating Republican homosexual, can't be bad!
Well Arianna has arrived and it it isn't pretty:
