First, to make it official,
Click HERE to see THE COLBUFFINGTON RE-POST.
So...The world of Arts and Entertainment. Oh what a tangled world wide web we host, when first we practice to re-post.
"Where more people get their news...than they probably should."
This is something you hear from The Daily Show. It also pretty much sums up The Huffington Post. But, hey! More power to her (Arianna). By now she's been re-posting so much news - and opinion - that she appears as a pundit from time to time. But again - more power to her. Maybe someday I'll be looked at for my opinion, and not for any facts I try to put out there. Maybe then I can sell it for a few hundred million.
Much of The Huffington Post is simply a re-posting of news (or gossip) which can be found elsewhere. Well, news and clips from TV shows. This is what caught Stephen Colbert's attention.
He made the point that he wasn't getting paid for any of the clips from The Colbert Report that were being (re-)posted on the Huffington Post. Colbert then came up with the idea of the re-posting of the re-posts. That is, he's re-posting the entirety of the Huffington Post, simply putting a new border around the whole thing, and calling it THE COLBUFFINGTON RE-POST. The Huffington Post of course gave us an obligatory re-post of Colbert's talk of, um, re-posting. This will then of course end up being re-packaged as part of the COLBUFFINGTON RE-POST, which will then be...My God! Will it ever stop???
Thank you Arianna, and Mr. Colbert...the ball's in your court.
If I need to get a petition together with 5 or 10 names on it...or even more...I will.
So...like the above cartoon of Your Brain on Speed Racer...
Any Questions?
I'll be watching. But I have to charge my phone.

The Huffington Post is a spot to go to for news of the world...as well as the news you'd find in many gossip/entertainment publications. But maybe that's the appeal though. I'm still working that out.

So here's the thing. I find that what I do is about as important as much of what you'll find in The Huffington Post. And I want more people to see it...and be a part of it.
I'm talking about cartoons - drawn on forecasts.
I'm talking about cartoons - drawn on forecasts.
I'm talking about drawing on people with Sharpies.
I'm talking about this Human Canvas stuff - and more - as something that's just as important as THIS juicy tid-bit from the Huffington. Maybe even more so. Maybe. Like the Public Service Announcement below:
I just wanna put this out there. I am more than happy to be a re-posting source for Colbert's re-posts of the re-posts. All I want to do is be able to put a new banner around it. Something that says:
"DAVIDFLEMINGARTSCOLBUFFINGTON RE-RE-POST".
And then he just has to let people know it's there.
If Stephen Colbert is interested in getting his name known - maybe speaking in front of the president, or getting a book out someday - we should talk. He should mention this idea of the re-RE-re-post of the re-re-posts on his show. I CHALLENGE him to do so! (That's a full-on, Bill O'Reilly "in ya face and extra loud to over, over compensate for other insecurities and/or other mis-givings, but we won't get into that here" chal-LENGE!) With my following, I'll bet I could even bring some 20 or 25...maybe even 30 or so more viewers to his TV program - though he might do okay without my people going over to support him. Or if he just encourages 20 or 30 to come my way. That would be even, I suppose.
He DOES owe it to me though. I did, after all, vote for him in the whole naming of the space station thing. NASA was wanting a name to reflect the beauty of exploration and cooperation. They offered an online contest. Thanks (in part) to my vote, the name Colbert...was chosen. The named modules are Unity, Destiny, Harmony, & now...Colbert.

And if Colbert mentions this on the show...I'll be more than happy to (re)re-post, and get a link to it here. Especially if the Huffington Post does a re-post of it first. His people will have to let me know though, as I miss some details when watching on my cell phone.
