On Tuesday, I wrote a post criticizing the Huffington Post for espousing progressivism in its political coverage while exploiting women in its entertainment pages.
I'm still waiting to hear back from HuffPo on how ritual public outings of women whose clothing accidentally slips a couple centimeters keys into their liberal political identity—though it looks like somebody [...]
It's no secret that The Huffington Post fancies itself a left-leaning Web rag. Wikipedia describes Arianna Huffington's aggregatorial monster as "an American liberal news website." Conservapedia's definition, however, might be more helpful: "The site is an extreme mouthpiece for liberals," it reads. "The Huffington Post calls itself an internet newspaper of blogs, news and video [...]
Naked Wizard Tased By Reality from Tracy Anderson on Vimeo.
Since Arthur Delaney has already produced the definitive narration of the Coachella tasered wizard video (above), I will take a page from the Huffington Post manual and aggregate his brilliant retelling here:

It's April 16, which means we can all resume teabagging by putting balls in our mouths instead of protesting taxes or whatever Republican dudes who are not secretly self-hating homosexuals did yesterday.

Are you mature enough for this?
FINALLY, SOMEBODY MAKES SENSE: Levi Johnston, 19-year-old ex-fiancee of Bristol Palin, told Good Morning America that he's not yet mature enough to get married. "It’s just us not—me not—being mature enough,” he said. "We were in a fight. And trying to see if we can make things work. But [...]

The Huffington Post points us to this video of members of the Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kansas protesting Obama's inauguration yesterday on Pennsylvania Ave. From HuffPo:
