It is pathetic and even laughable to hear American leaders, and the leaders of the other Western democracies  in Europe, cautioning that Egypt’s revolution needs to move slowly, as they call for a “transition” government that would be gently guided to elections by the very man, Omar Suleiman, who [...]

From Huffington Post

I’ve used this space to make all sorts of important HuffPost
announcements: new sections, new additions to the HuffPost team, new
HuffPost features and new apps. But none of them can hold a candle to
what we are announcing today.

When Kenny Lerer and I launched The Huffington [...]

As developments continue to swirl in Egypt with Hosni Mubarak technically in place and the protestors remaining in Tahrir Square resistant to any measures to end the rebellion without Mubarak first stepping down, the situation remains in uneasy calm.

The army on Saturday installed a buffer zone separating the protestors in Tahrir Square [...]

When we did talk about marriage I said it was too embarrassing to marry a man in his 30s. We got married on his 40th birthday. (We did our “official” engagement and our champagne-after-City-Hall-wedding at Windows on the World, at the top of the Trade Center. Sob.)   

Oh hell, here’s something about the towers [...]

When you
name a painting, “The Hidden Maiden’ as I did, you cease to involve the
audience in the process. Then why did I? I tried many titles, and none of it
came close to the first choice of, with unintended Victorian overtones, Hidden
Maiden.

Now when
someone sees the [...]

These words by Emma Lazarus, taken from her poem The New Colossus, are inscribed on a tablet at the base of the Statue of Liberty:

Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore, Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my [...]

As far as news goes, there will be more of it. Arianna writes there are five things she wants to “double down” on:

…major expansion of local sections; the launch of international Huffington Post sections (beginning with HuffPost Brazil); more emphasis on the growing importance of service and giving back in our lives; much [...]

LET THE JEB BOOMLET BEGIN…. Former two-term Florida Gov. John Ellis “Jeb” Bush (R) has said he’s not going to run for president, at least in 2012, and I haven’t seen any evidence to suggest otherwise. But I suspect we’ll soon see a “Run, Jeb, Run” boomlet anyway.

National Review has a cover story [...]

DOES THE RIGHT NOT REALIZE REAGAN WAS WRONG ABOUT MEDICARE?…. Most folks have probably heard the audio of Ronald Reagan in 1961, before he sought elected office, railing against Medicare. It was recorded as part of the American Medical Association’s campaign against a precursor to the legislation that would become law several years later.

AOL BUYS THE HUFFINGTON POST…. On Super Bowl Sunday, it turns out the big winner was … Arianna Huffington.

The Huffington Post, which began in 2005 with a meager $1 million investment and has grown into one of the most heavily visited news Web sites in the country, is being acquired by AOL in [...]

John Lott responded to a post
here at Media Matters that debunked his assertions that, “Virtually no
criminal guns are obtained from gun shows,” and that “Background checks
do not stop criminals from getting guns.”

It is apparent from his history that John Lott does not understand the basic concepts of science, [...]

On Fox
Friends this morning, Fox News contributor Dana Perino and co-host Gretchen
Carlson accused President Obama of taking credit for the Bush tax cuts during
his pre-Super Bowl interview with Bill O’Reilly.

Here’s the thing,
though: Obama didn’t do that — at all. In fact, he was taking credit for [...]

LOL!!!

I have no idea whether CBS criticized the Dixie Chicks. Don’t watch CBS. I wasn’t the one making comparisons, you were. You didn’t address my comments in the least. The irony is that the DCs were criticized repeatedly on Fox for doing the EXACT same thing that Nugent is being encouraged to do on [...]

President ObamaLast Friday was our economic Groundhog Day. The horrendous job numbers that came out prove that we’re stuck in the same old script of bad policy and bad economics that got us into the mess we are in.

Remember the rallying cry from Republicans and business leaders last December? If you extend [...]

Sometime in the past decade or so, America woke up and realized it had become one of the more unequal societies on Earth. As masterfully described by Slate‘s Timothy Noah in his series “The United States of Inequality,” the country’s have-everythings have sprinted away from the mere haves or the have-nots in the [...]
