Great video from the Huffington Post During the election campaign I had the dubious honor of appearing on a talk radio show in which I was paired against some looney tune author of a scurrillous email that had made the rounds of the nutjobs. I didn’t know who the guy was when I agreed to go on the show, and I was amazed when a number of callers brought up this birth issue, which I had never heard about before. I remember I said that I wasn’t interested in paranoid fantasies and preferred to talk about actual issues.

Five years ago, Arianna Huffington and former PR executive Ken Lerer founded Huffington Post to cover the intersection of politics, business and popular culture. I had lunch on Friday with Eric Hippeau , chief executive officer of the site and a partner at Softbank Capital in the U.S. Eric is returning to his journalistic roots; those of you in technology may recall that he ran Ziff-Davis while it was owned by the Ziff family in the early 90s. It was later sold to Softbank and then went public.

This was just posted on Huffington Post : Michael Vick is back in the NFL. Now all he needs is a team to play for. Vick, free after serving 18 months in prison for running a dogfighting ring, was reinstated with conditions by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on Monday. He could participate in regular-season games as early as October. Are there no standards? I hope they live to regret this.
