Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Post was probably the one paid to take it off their hands.

I actually like Slate. They have some good columnists, and of course some not so good columnists.

They ususally have a slightly different take on the news aside from the other media lapdogs. Whether I agree with it or not.

Gates' wife is on the Wash Post Bd. of Directors. Fails sniff-test.

Why would Washington Post want this site? It has been a loser since it's conception. I wonder how long Gates is going to endure MSNBC? It's ratings are horrible although I do watch Hardball some. Matthews is good on some things, but he is so anti-Bush and Iraq that it's hard to find the good stuff.

Well, Jim - looks like you can add Slate to the list of Washington Post companies on your list of whazoo apertures who restrict reposting of material from their sites....
