Ariana Huffington's blog launched a few days ago, and lo and behold, there is a permanent link to WFMU's Beware of the Blog on the main page. The best part of it is that we are on the same list as Rosie O'Donnel's blog, which features her great metaphysical poetry, stuff like this:
between the runaway bride
the 10 pound hamburger
michael jackson
and now cruddy corey
i’m beginning to lose hope
i wonder if we will ever
again
get real news
in this country
Also on Arianna's new blog, you can check out Hilary Rosen's sad lament about the horrors of digital rights management. Poor Hilary (the former head of the RIAA, and one of the people responsible for raising copyright protection to its current level of hysteria) purchased an iPod and now she can't figure out how to move her Microsoft files onto it. And Harry Shearer makes the enticing suggestion that he may soon be posting his famous found video feeds online.

Very shrewd move on either Arianna's or Hilary's part not to allow comments on the iPod lament. Then again, they wouldn't have gotten any ranting response from me, as the piece rendered me speechless.

That HR piece has got to leave everyone near speechless. Is she the stupidest person on the planet, or just the most evil? I can't figure it out. Those wags at The Reg were forced to conclude that it's like something out of the Onion and therefore the entire website must be fake.
