Default Huffington Post may charge for some content, says chief executive

Thats nasty Jimmy to charge for that site



[The Huffington Post's chief executive,
Jimmy Maymann, believes in paid-for
journalism and is open to the idea of
charging for some of the
news aggregation and
blogging site's content – just not yet.]

HuffPo really took off around the 2004 election, because we all thought there was gonna be a huge takeover by the fundamentalist Christian right in America.. then that didn't happen, and now actually America is more liberal than ever, so it kinda took the fun out of HuffPo now that we don't have the Bush/Tea Party threat to worry about anymore.

Sarah Palin, and Bachman, and Santorum all just seem like silly cartoon characters now, and HuffPo just lost it's steam.

Don't you miss the days when we all thought Bush was a Nazi and he was gonna destroy the world?

...the good 'ole days...
