I don’t get it. I know the line from Star Wars, but what’s that got to do with Huffington Post. Are they saying that HP HQ is such a hive? That doesn’t seem very funny.
Everyone is assuming its about politics, but don’t forget Huffpo has a pretty bad reputation for building much of its traffic on the work of unpaid bloggers, as well as editorially becoming essentially an online version of a supermarket tabloid in recent years.
If this strip is going to be continue to depend on references to Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, etc., that is totally cool, but I am not going to get it. I don’t have those scripts memorized—and Star Wars was a long time ago.

Well, now we have no doubt about their politics. I would have said, “Look the EIB Network HQ!”

Punaman…. no, and that’s what’s confusing me….Huffpost has its problems but I would have thought they’d say something more like EID too.
This might have more to do with the blogger lawsuit than left-right politics.

2008 Huffington: “I’ll never sell you guys out for corporate money.”
2011 Huffington: “I’m selling you guys out for really, really big corporate money.”

I’m sure you meant to say Fox News.

Not that I don’t agree with the sentiment, but shouldn’t this be in the editorial page?

Maybe it’s a test to see how many knee-jerk reactions they would get from this?

There are no actual scum or villainy at the Huffington Post HQ, but there are links to scum and villainy at other spaceports.

This might be more funny if I was familiar with what the Huffington Post is.
