MS. HUFFINGTON'S NEW PROJECT

Arianna Huffington, a former Republican and candidate for Governor of California last year who now identifies herself as a "progressive Democrat", is an interesting columnist. I have been receiving her e-mailed writings for nearly a year, and while I don't agree with her 100 percent of the time, she often makes some wonderful points.

Ms. Huffington is launching a new project: The Huffington Post, an online site which this article from the New York Times is calling a likely challenge to The Drudge Report. And she's got a number of notable people who will be writing for this new site, including former CBS Evening News anchor Walter Cronkite, and former Colorado senator Gary Hart, who will focus mainly on national security issues.

But it won't be entirely liberal. She's also signed on Washington Times editorial page editor Tony Blankley and former Bush speechwriter David Frum...who coined the phrase "axis of evil".

It promses to be an interesting project which I'll keep an eye on. You can do so, too, by visiting the site which will begin May 9.
