In the darkness of media conservatism and one-party rule, oppressed liberals everywhere have been calling out for a champion, someone who might break the tyrannical yoke and siren-heavy regurgitation of R.N.C. talking points memos that is The Drudge Report. Today, that hero boldly strides forward: Yes, kids, The Huffington Post has launched! And what a launch it is! Julia Louis-Dreyfuss and Brad Hall yukking it up as if "Watching Ellie" never happened! David Mamet holding forth on computers as "hermaphrodite typewriter-cum-filing cabinet[s]"! That lady who married the guy who writes "Curb Your Enthusiasm" bitching about the automobile industry! Yes, it's a rich, rich tapestry. When important celebrities have a platform from which to dispense their well-informed opinions, everyone wins! We're sure the public will be voting Democratic in no time. Keep refreshing The Huffington Post throughout the day: We understand that at some point Arianna's going to offer a list of the top ten signs that your husband might be gay. —AB
