Perhaps an aside here, but an important one:

Lately I've been discounting what people quote from the Huffington Post. Recently it's been using some of the same writers who write for the WND newsletter (World Net Daily), which is an internet rag somewhat to the right of Genghis Khan.

WND publishes vast quantities of anti-Obama propaganda, most of which they make up themselves. They still maintain that Obama was born in Kenya—or Indonesia (they can't seem to make up their minds)—that he is a secret member of the Socialist Party, and that he is gay.

And that Obama is the Anti-Christ. And, yes, it has a fundamentalist Christian orientation.

The Huffington Post must have recently taken a giant step to the Right—or Arianna is just not minding the store.
