    She can say anything she wants. I credit her and Tina Fey with helping the American public avoid four more years of Republican tyranny by helping to torpedo that idiot Sarah Palin.

    Seriously. I do. #katiecouric

    HuffPo will never work until it stops censoring comments so much; the sameness makes it as boring as the comments on, oh, CuteOverload, for example. It's become more about boobs and provocative titles and giving hacks of every kind a chance to "post" their inane comments or flog their latest book/product/agenda. #huffingtonpost

I didn't get banned, they just refused to approve the comments, so it became a challenge to me to find the key flag words. Apparent "fatuous pinheaded fame whore hack" is a no-no, but that's just my working hypothesis. #huffingtonpost

    @Maryscary: OMG yes. But it's a cult, wherein you are only allowed to say "OMG!" and "Oh, my head will asplode from teh qute!" and they exchange sunshine tofu recipes and give each other imaginary cookies-- and if you say anything that strikes anyone negatively you are a terrible, terrible person. It's notorious for requiring that the rear end be kissed of the Megan and her henchman, Theo. I know this because of painful experience with a cousin. They also had a huge argument over whether people's faces should ever be included. #huffingtonpost

    I have a friend since high school whose late mother was a best-selling writer and whose father was his wife's business manager. Years ago, while still a whelp, I placed an article in a highly local newspaper, an article I wasn't paid for but that gave me experience and a small platform. When I proudly told my friend's parents about this, her father gravely said, "You're a writer when you get paid for it." #huffingtonpost

    The other one that I've heard is that you cannot tell during your own life whether you are a writer or a copywriter. Only your thombstone will tell the truth on that question. #huffingtonpost

    In reply to Arianna Huffington Tapping Brian Grazer's Braintrust
    The irony of this post is that I have witnessed Mr. Grazer firsthand on many occasions, and the sad plain truth is that you can't hire someone to represent you in those unavoidable human moments that we all must participate in. No one can shake another man's hand for you. No one can exhibit grace on your own behalf. Those are traits and attributes you either develop or you don't.

    Mr. Grazer would be well-advised to get out more often and risk exposing himself to the elements of humankind. And next time he is looking for someone to get to know, he should venture a glance into the mirror... #briangrazer

    In reply to What Does Arianna Huffington Really Look Like?
    I booked her for a show I worked on back when she was campaigning against Arnold in California a few years back and let me tell you, she is incredible looking.

    Great body, very at ease with herself, and appropriately made up. I never cared about her until I met her, but when I did she made a great impression and was truly beautiful in person.

    She is also warm, funny and smells good (no lie). If she has some wrinkles and doesn't look like a twenty year old, that's because she's *not* twenty.

    I took a look at the Wintour photos, and hey, she looks great too! More power to these women for aging naturally and gracefully.

    What is the problem here? If we published a high res photo of yours or anyone's skin, would that "ruin my lunch" too? Kind of weird that you think it's an insult to publish a pic that shows a woman as she really looks. Isn't the constant airbrushing more of an insult?

    She looks like a "woman of a certain age." She hasn't tried to stop anyone from publishing these photos of herself, un-retouched. And don't we all want to know what Wintour and Lohan really look like????

    Isn't that a given???

    And couldn't most of us care less what Ariana looks like?

    She's not making her living off a business that emphasizes good looks. #ariannahuffington
