Blog Stupid

I was searching on Google for something about the Minnesota gubernatorial race and an entry from the worthless waste-of-bandwidth, "The Huffington Post" popped up. The ultimate, left-wing electronic rag, the Huffington POSt (note the intentional capitalization) is a collection of opinions on current events that bashes anything that is even a micron right of center, when it comes to politics. The useless blog (much like this one: a time-wasting, badnwidth-eating, productivity vaccum) is often referred to in political radio shows, both left and right. It's incredibly sad to think that anyone hitting it for the first time would consider it journalism, let alone good writing.

Before I clicked the back button on the browser, though, I noticed the list of "Popular Stories on HuffPost" in the right column. The list explains the quality of the typical reader as well as the quality of the writing and topics that you will find on the "HuffPOSt:"

"Joe Scarborough's 'F*ck' Up: Swears On Air (VIDEO)"
"Cheetah Girl Adrienne Bailon Nude Photos Hit Internet"
"Andy Borowitz MSNBC to Launch F***ing Joe"
"Bonnie Fuller Why Michelle's Red Dress Just Shook The World"
"Matt Lauer's Divorce Laughed About On 'Today' Show (VIDEO)"
"Obama Parenting PDA (SLIDESHOW, VIDEO)"
"Jennifer Aniston On Angelina: 'Very Uncool' And 'Inappropriate'"
"'Buddha Boy' Re-Emerges From Jungle After A Year, Gains Thousands Of Followers"

It's HuffPuffington's right to write whatever the heck they like. It's irritatingly lame, and fully lopsided, and it has been shown to cause the craniums of laboratory rats to spontaneously crack open (giving a whole new meaning to the term, "open-minded") (you knew it was coming). One positive thing to come of the lab rat testing: The writing is dumbed down plenty enough to reach a level of comprehension equivalent to that of rodents.
