Celeb Blog Kick-off Today

Very interesting start today for Huffington Post. My favorite post is John Cusack's brief glimpse at Hunter Thompson's funeral. But the real meat of the day was the headline about the Saudi oil field Doomsday Devices.

Whether true or not, the brouhaha to come over this story clearly demonstrates one undeniable fact: The oil sheiks have us by the short and curlies and they aren't ever letting go.

And every day this country refuses to seriously address its oil dependence problem only tightens their grip.

Best of luck to Arianna and company.
