The New HuffPo?

In These Times magazine has tweeted that they'd like to offer themselves as the new independent alternative to the Huffington Post. I'd like to second that. It's a fine publication with a good website.

Full disclosure: Several years ago I served on a committee with someone who is now in an editorial position at In These Times. So I'm not completely objective about it. And I think this is as close as I'll get to a Bill Ayers moment.
