Please do not give a forum to Laurie Lennard. What she did to Larry is disgusting. What she is doing to our planet is criminal. Destroying our planet with her private jets and massive homes, we should be able to put polluters like her in jail and throw away the key!

Thank you Arianna and the Huffintonpost contributors.
You were our solace and consolation during these desolate years.
Now that change has finally been realized, I plan on still being a regular visitor.
According to some sources you are the Anti-Drudge. If that's true, this will continue to be the place to go for the truth.

It's sad that so many of you base your love and pride in our country upon who is sitting in the oval office. I didn't vote for Obama but I wish him and our country nothing but the best. Maybe the hatred exhibited on this site over the last 8 years can be a thing of the past.

Let me help you...its simply called the AMERICAN DREAM. Its alive and well after the 8 years of nightmares, lies, and loss. This election proves that America really is moving forward and embracing ALL people of this country because after all we are ALL immigrants except the Native American. I hope that helps! Justice and Peace for us all!

With the advent of CNN Holograms it is time to make video input from bloggers on Huffington Post easier!

We in California or outside your immediate neighborhood can not participate in these happenings so video input made easy would provide a more personal link!

Thank you for the forum and the energy of truth-telling that is the HuffPost. It truly helped to overcome the hate mongering, which robbed our country of good leaders in the last 2 elections and also threatened us this time.

I am no political expert by any means. I know this, however. This would not have happened without Huffingtonpost. Arianna, thank you.
