Teh Internets The Beast is Back

Tina Brown’s attempt to unseat the Huffington Post (or Drudge, or possibly both at the same time) is going to be called The Daily Beast, which is a great name, adopted from Waugh’s Scoop. Unfortunately, there’s already a great magazine named The Beast, in Buffalo. I hope they don’t get buried by Brown’s latest venture.
Scoop is my favorite Waugh book. And as far as the Buffalo Beast... even though Buffalo is a dying city, it's smart money at the moment to bet against Tina Brown. The Buffalo Beast will probably live on.
I agree, The Beast will probably outlive Tina Brown's new "me too" venture. After all, Tina's not likely to sneak across the Canadian border in a canoe and back just to prove a point.
