HuffPo Joins the NSA

Commenting via Facebook, and only Facebook. It's a short post, so go ahead.

I have to say that Huffington Post is not a site I visit regularly. Like WaPo, it has a short shelf-life: I click through, but I already know what I'm going to find. It's like the Internet version of the Very Serious People. I will grant that I've seen some interesting discussions at HuffPo, but they're far outnumbered by the flame wars.

And, civility? Seriously? Have they read some of the comments on Facebook?

And despite all the posturing, given Facebook's track record, the NSA will have all your information in short order.

I've seen speculation on how much Arianna Huffington got paid for this, but my question is, how much does HuffPo stand to make from the feds? Or will Zuckerberg get all the money?
