Up and running.

Well, nothing of any real interest to me yet. Several celebrity posts and some news items. You are welcome to comment on the news items, but don’t think you’ll have the opportunity to comment on anything the “stars” write. They do offer an “Author Bio” and permalink. The bio is for anyone looking to hire these folks, and the permalink is for all of us to send others to read their words of wisdom. No trackback, so they aren’t interested in sending people to view what you have to say.

It may turn out to be an interesting site. It looks like Ariana wants this to be a Drudge clone with social commentary by her Hollywood friends. Their fragile egos just can’t handle open discussion.

  1. Since you went out of your way to mention it twice, I figgered I’d better go take a look. I did.

    I’m sure there’s a point in that site, but maybe I’m just too dumb to catch it. Where’s that elusive quality called continuity of thought? In it’s present format all it is likely to be is a fourm for left wing nutbags to present an essay on ideas they do not have to defend.

    I didn’t bother to ‘bookmark’ the site… I’m not among the legion of Arianna fans to begin with, and I doubt her friends could hold my interest much either.

  2. While I don’t care too much for Huffington’s opinion, I did find the site very interesting. You have to dig a little. Yeah, there are the gratuitous celebrity postings, but not any different from a lot of other similar type sites.

    Speaking personally, I WILL be reading this new site. Thanks, Bunker!
