Shot In The Dark: Mitch Berg: Scenemaker

Mitch Berg: Scenemaker

As Molly Priesmeyer notes in "Blotter", her City Pages-owned Babelogue blog, in re the HuffPo:

The Huffington Post has also garnered itself a celeb-style nickname: Huffpo.

She links to this post, from the Chris Meserole's Democratic Vista blog, as the cite for the nick. Note the timestamp: 10:54PM last Tuesday.

But I submit for your approval that it was none other than myself - a lowly Republican blogger in flyover land - who actually coined the term, nearly a day and a half before Meserole.

The Northern Alliance Blogs. We set the standard in political blogging, blog radio, blog alliances (the MOB, the biggest and best blog alliance in the business), and now in defining vacuous celebrity culture.

Have your people call our people.

If it's any comfort, history almost never rewards the right person. I took a History of Science course once, and it seems like the story of every big discovery has some shy guy who figured out the solution, and some extroverted guy who took most of the credit for it. But, since ten years from now nobody will remember who Arianna Huffington is, don't worry about it. :-)
