"I told you so" moments are pretty sweet — and thanks to Sarah Palin, now I've got one. Ten months to the day after her speech at the Republican National Convention, I would like for this woman to eat her words:

I'm not a member of the permanent political...

Tonight, ASSME — or, the American Society of [Recently Fired] Media Elites, as the NYT's David Carr so delicately puts it — is having their first-ever Swag-A-Thon, which I am pleased to have had a modest role in helping with along the way, through my micro-giving site,...

"It's humbling to think that our 2-year old company could be playing such a globally meaningful role that state officials find their way toward highlighting our significance," a post on the Twitter blog by co-founder Biz Stone read. Therein lies the uneasy truth: In a major international crisis, one of...

Journalists, if you are going to spout off about Twitter, I beg you: Do some research. This has occurred to me frequently since Twitter hit the big time earlier this year, mostly because there have been frequent glaring errors on the part of "mainstream" journalists who write precious little articles...

This is unbelievable. In last night's "NBC Nightly News," Pete Williams had a segment on the Holocaust Museum shooter, James von Brunn, and they presented a guy by the name of John de Nugent to attest to his pre-shooting mental state. Which John de Nugent, you ask? This...

Today, Holocaust survivor, "Night" author and Nobel Peace Prize winner Elie Wiesel joined President Barack Obama at the site of Buchenwald, one of Nazi Germany's terrible concentration camps, to speak out against indifference and humanity's inability to learn from its own worst moments. "Memory has become a sacred duty...

I posted earlier this month here and on Charitini about my friend Veronica De La Cruz, who has been working social media like crazy to save her brother Eric, who needs a heart transplant but couldn't get one due to ridiculous inter-state red tape (he's covered...

From Merriam-Webster:
memorialize: commemorate
commemorate: to call to remembrance
Twitter: to utter successive chirping noises

Well, at least they're up to date on the first two.

It's Memorial Day, and here in New York City it's a gorgeous one, sunny and bright...

This is unreal. My pal Veronica De La Cruz (CNN, TV Guide) is racing against time to get her brother Eric De La Cruz a heart transplant. He lives in Nevada, where there are no places to perform the operation; but he can't go to the nearest out-of-state facility...

Today's GPICT comes to us from a girlcrush, because I sort of fell hard for Susan Axelrod this weekend at the WHCD (see here). I didn't meet her, but I saw her a few times in the cocktail crush before the dinner and not only was she stunning...

Two weeks ago, I realized it was the sixth anniversary of the Iraq War, and I wanted to do something to mark that - so I whipped up a mini-campaign on Twitter, on my personal charity-themed website, Charitini, and here on HuffPo.

Today marks the sixth anniversary of the Iraq War, and as usual it's flying a little below the radar. Last year, the anniversary was overshadowed by Obama's landmark race speech the day before; this year, we're all transfixed by the colossal greed and short-sightedness of AIG. Important...

Hello! I'm Rachel Sklar, former HuffPo Media Editor. This is my first time posting since I bade farewell last month, and it 's nice to be back. It's also nice to get a break from the Media page (so much orange!) and hang out here on the pretty...

This long, crazy road has finally come to this incredible point: Not only the first African-American President of the United States, but this President, after this campaign. It is an amazing moment, and may just portend an amazing next four years.

Hillary Clinton has been putting on a bright smile and a happy face, claiming to be unfazed by the swelling of Obamomentum which swept her rival to sweep every single state since Super Tuesday. Before yesterday's Potomac Primaries, the conventional wisdom was that Hillary hadn't been expected to...

PETERBOROUGH, NEW HAMPSHIRE — It was standing-room only at the McCain rally today at noon in Peterborough, New Hampshire — at least we assume so, since the event was stuffed to capacity and the fire marshal ordered it closed.

As the Straight Talk Express swung...

Hello, and welcome to Baltimore and Morgan State University for the first-ever PBS Black Voter Forum, proud to welcome half the GOP presidential candidates! In honor of same, tonight we've got half the liveblogging staff — it's just me, alas, on this...

Yesterday, I wrote about the new ObamaGirl video and, more generally, the impact of YouTube videography on the 2008 election (yeah, I know, me and everyone else). I remember when the "Hillary 1984"...

This is something that has bothered me for a while: What is up with the dismissive, slightly mocking attitude towards Missing White Women? As a group, they couldn't be more sympathetic: Almost always abducted, sexually assaulted, or brutally murdered. Way too many of them are not found. Individually, their stories...

Paris Hilton is news. That is a fact, like evolution. What kind of news depends on the day: Attending a premiere in a low-cut dress? Celebrity news, for Star and Us Weekly. Premiering another season of "The Simple Life?" Entertainment Weekly and TVGuide. Having a nip slip? Okay, maybe that's...
