Very stale

Ariana Huffington, possibly the ditziest candidate ever to run for governor of California and lose, has now set her sights on publishing: She's inviting 250 of "the most creative minds" in the U.S. to contribute to a blog she's launching in May to "punch holes in that very stale way of looking at the world." The NYT evidently expects it to become the left's answer to Matt Drudge.

Who are the most creative minds in America? Her list includes Walter Cronkite, Norman Lear, Mike Nichols, David Mamet, Nora Ephron, Warren Beatty, James Fallows, Jann Wenner, Vernon E. Jordan Jr., Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr., Gary Hart, Diane Keaton, Norman Mailer and Mortimer B. Zuckerman.

So now we know the secret of creativity: Get on the media A list in New York or L.A. Then wait a generation.

edge.org it isn't.

On the other hand, it won't hurt, and it'll probably be a good influence on the celebrity-followers.

True. In the meantime, it's already good for a few laughs.
