New Huffington Post Blog Launched

I am so pleased to share with you all an email I received today announcing the launch of The Huffington Post created by Arianna Huffington. I have long been a fan of Arianna, and I am confident her site will prosper with her intelligent commentary, and with the addition of inviting of guests to add their opinions to her site I am sure the site will meet with great success. As stated in their e-mail, this is the direction the site will take: The Huffington Post is now live. Visit HuffingtonPost.com now and then come back every day -- several times a day -- to see the latest news 24/7 and our group blog. The Huffington Post is serving up-to-the-minute breaking news and blog posts from hundreds of the most interesting figures in politics, entertainment, business, the arts, and the media. In addition, Harry Shearer will be moderating a section on the media called "Eat the Press" -- where, besides documenting and discussing the absurdities within our news cycle, he will regularly be posting raw satellite feed of our nation's politicians and broadcasters in their most unguarded moments. Already, John Cusack, Ellen DeGeneres, Russell Simmons, Mike Nichols, David Mamet, Michael Isikoff, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Brad Hall, David Corn, and Marshall Herkovitz have posted their unique takes on issues as diverse as gay marriage, the war in Iraq, and what "SpamAlot" and political leaders have in common. The Huffington Post is also your source for breaking news. Today, the Post offers an exclusive pre-publication look at the explosive new book, "Secrets of the Kingdom," by best-selling author Gerald Posner, which reveals the unknown story of how Saudi Arabia’s oil fields are rigged to turn into a radioactive nuclear wasteland in the event of an invasion or internal revolution. Arianna herself has this to say Ever since college, I have always enjoyed bringing together people from many different parts of my life, and facilitating interesting conversations. Now I'm excited to be taking these conversations -- about politics and books and art and music and food -- and bringing them into the blogosphere, where some of the most interesting exchanges are taking place. So see you on The Huffington Post. I have so looked forward to the launch of this site from the day it was announced that Arianna Huffington was embarking on this path. I would urge all of you to visit HuffingtonPost.com, and stay up to date on what is new and as they say "notable on the site -- scoops, great posts, and more".
