I hate to break it to you, enlightened college students, but the Huffington Post is crap.
Take, for example, this.
Who gives a damn what Alec Baldwin thinks about oil policy? Seriously! He has literally no expertise about oil spills. He is an actor. They even have the gall to slap it on there under his title, without even a lame attempt to bilk him up as an expert (like what people are doing to James Cameron). It's right there under his name!
An actor.
I don't care if he were Marlon damn Brando. He's an actor.
I get it. The site is supposed to be Arriana Huffington and all her very interesting friends blogging off the cuff. That would be fine, but people have started treating it like a legitimate venue for legitimate opinion journalism, for well-reasoned rational analysis -- and any site that unflinchingly has Alec Baldwin talking about energy policy is NOT THAT.
What really kills me about the Huffington Post is that the liberals that frequent it are often the loudest critics of the bias propigated Fox News and its imitators.
I got news for you -- the Huffington Post is just the left-leaning equivalent, complete with a fawning love for celebrities and an almost cartoonish pretension.

I'll give you another reason why HuffPost sucks... they now censor comments in a way that can only be described as "Unfathomable",, I WAS a reader and regular poster of comments there for over 4 years, had more than a few heated debates that never got personal or nasty, THEN I found my self banned completely, for posting
a comment supporting Alabama's new anti-illegal alien law, and pointed out that California could USE some of the same common sense, and hey, boom, banned.
I can not even get a response from e-mails asking for the rationale behind my being banned!
Free Speech is only OK there when it supports their Pet Projects, it seems... like illegals.
Well I got banned for calling Republicans ecxactly what they are. The party of hate, bigoty, homopobia and racisim...... They tend to be a wisht washy bunch od sissies over there..
huff post has no scenes of humor .
"from 'MoonBeamWatcher' " was huffn'puffn STAR more then a few times over 4 or 5 years.
adding some FATHOM to your unFATHOMABLE "THEY" Huffn'Puffn' let folk who just don't like your post remove you! Me, I loved the numbskulls off the wall opinions and enjoyed being able to make logical 'counter-points' BUT... signed off with a standard OMG! = Obama Must Go! Which earned me the RATH of Bumma luvahs.
