Huffin' and Puffin'

Kids, yours truly is on The Huffington Post.

Now, I know what you're thinking. But, BeckEye, isn't The Huffington Post a website devoted to intelligent, thoughtful discussion of current events? Who let you in? Well, I have my ways.

Don't worry, I haven't given up Michael Johns for John McCain. Basically, it's just a short informational piece about The Women's Conference in Long Beach, with a few stupid pop cultural references thrown in (to prove that I actually wrote it).

Now is the time for you all to prove your love for me. Leave a comment! Please? Not here, there! And watch your language. (The guttermouths know who they are.)

wow Bono will be there...I must go so he can touch my forehead and heal me of all ills. Hopefully he will not be saving the world that weekend. No, he cannot pass up another photo op, he'll be there, cape and all.

Well done, you!
Yes, I'm commenting here, and not there, because I had to create an account there and I have to wait until they "activate" it. When that occurs, I shall comment there. Congratulations!

Not to steal your thunder but I wrote the Great Gatsby. Seriously though, great job. My present to you will be to add a comment on Huffington mentioning That Blue Yak. That's should give you some more web cred.

Congratulations on the Awesomeness! And yes, when you're famous and cool and all that shit I can brag about I was reading your blog and stuff long before you were famous. And, uh, not so cool. No, no, you were BORN cool.

With this gang of misfits here, present company included, I'm surprised you'd even tell us that you were posting over there or otherwise risk doing what Pistols was suggesting. Trust us on this: You don't want us commenting on your post at the Huff.

Nice job, girl! I'm already a registered user at Huffpost, you should have a comment pending approval from the G. You did great with the content. ;)

Interesting piece. That seems like an interesting admixture of folks (Steinham and Rice in the same room?).

So, will you be schlepping out to CA to take part in this?

Nicely piece and nice real estate for the piece.

Pop culture is the new politics. When the politicians learn this, young folks will start coming out of vote again.

I live in Long Beach...why don't you come to the convention, preferably on Arianna's dollar, hmm? I know most of the fancy schmancy places and I am well versed in the ghetto parts of our fine city.
