Arianna Huffington: A Biography
Huffington left Greece when she was 16 to go to college in London. She graduated from the Girton College at Cambridge University with M.A in economics in 1972.After her graduation she worked in London as a columnist, critic and a television host.
Arianna Huffington rose to fame after she decided to run the California recall election in 2003 to replace then Governor Davis. She dropped out of the race; some say the reason was the dismal response from the public. Arianna leads the Detroit Project which promotes energy efficient cars, needless to she is not much of a fan of Hummer driving Governor Arnold. But no matter how much she loves mother earth, Huffington still own and uses a private jet, which uses much more fuel than those often criticized SUV's. Seems like practice what you preach is something rich and famous choose to forget.
A co-host of "Left, Right and Center", a political program, Huffington's books include: "The Female Woman" 1974, "After Reason,"1978, "The Woman behind the Legend," 1981, "The Gods of Greece", "Picasso: Creator and Destroyer," 1988, "How to Overthrow the Government," 2000.This year she published "On Becoming Fearless.... in Love, Work, and Life". In 1981 when she wrote a book about Picasso's wife and later about Picasso himself, the ghost of plagiarism came to haunt her. Smartly she settled the case of court. She has appeared on various television shows including Larry King Live and Real Time with Bill Maher.
Huffington who started as a registered Republican, moved closer to the Democrats during the 1990s Balkans conflict. In 2005 she was a panel speaker at the California Democratic Party Sate Convention.
Last year Huffington started the Huffington Post, blog featuring news and views, from politics to celebrity culture. In a year, it has grown to be a must read to understand the "blog culture" and the liberal view on issues. Contributing bloggers include: John Kerry, James Zogby, Alec Baldwin and Rep. Diane Watson.

wer and personal gain than what really matters, our very survival. Since we seem to be in the process of eliminating offensive words from our vocabulary, why not eliminate the word "hate?"
AS a seventh generation American whose ancestors were among the first settlers of this nation, I am always interested in what someone born in Greece on July 15, 1950, might have to say about the running of our government. Being born in a country where democracy was created, you better than most should know how difficult it is to maintain when so many seem to be tearing at it from all sides. Internal strife brought this once great nation to its knees and almost into oblivion and it has not been a world power since. At the rate our political hatred of one another has been inflamed by both the extreme left and the extreme right, we might be headed in the same direction. One would think that a person of your stature and ability would try to be one of the leaders of an effort to unite us once again rather than choosing a "side" to champion. I have been a registered Democrat for over half a century and am ashamed of the behavior of some of our Party leaders more interested in personal po
"... the ghost of plagiarism came to haunt her. Smartly she settled the case of court." Interesting attitude: rather than criticize her for plagiarizing, you give her CREDIT for how she weaseled out of what she did. This is the woman you look up to?
the huffington post is indeed one of the great sources when a person wants to keep in touch with progressive thought-I loved her on Bill Maher..
