Dear Arianna,
I dig you. You were right about the SUVs. I'm sure there are many people who wished they would have listened to you when they have to fill up their tanks.
You were right about the War In Iraq. Ask the mothers of most soldiers.
You were right about California.
But what I really like about you is that you have guts. Strong, cute women with accents, brains , and a shitload of money are rare. I applaud you.
But lets talk about your latest venture, The Huffington Post.
I love the concept. We liberals need a site like it. And having a bunch of celebrities behind you is a good idea. You are right again. But some changes have to made.
1. Bloggers are what will make your site a success. If we like it all the media bashing won't matter. We are the media now. So PLEASE make it that we can comment on the original posts. We had to wait until the former Reprise guy to responded to hand Hillary Rosen her head. Make all your celebrities take the risk of instant attack. People will dig it.
2. You may want to give some of your celebrity bloggers a single topic. Elaine and the SNL guy was a waste. I know they were trying to be short and edgy and funny but leave that to really funny folks like Larry David. I can't beleive it took 2 people to write that!
3.There are too many celebrities. Weed that shit down to a few a day. It's noisy. And the world is already too noisy. Let 3 speak a day and let them fight for entry. It'll make their writing better.
Other than that I think it's cool. The news is good. The look is beautiful (like you!) and it's gives us liberals a nice little boost.
Here's my prediction. You will be bashed by the media but everyone will read it. Kinda like the NYT. A few months from now everyone will realize you were right (again!) but no one will say anything or give you credit. Except me.
