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...

..do they not just 'kill' themselves by doing this..?..people can get the same stories from other sites for free so why would they choose to pay for them...
