Arianna Huffington is a nationally syndicated columnist and author of ten books. Her New York Times bestseller, “Pigs at the Trough: How Corporate Greed and Political Corruption are Undermining America”, was published in 2003. Her latest book, “Fanatics and Fools: The Game Plan for Winning Back America” (April 2004), offers both a scathing portrait of our contemporary political landscape and a bold, inspiring, yet practical approach to restoring America to the promise envisioned by our greatest leaders. In 2003, she ran for governor as an Independent in California’s recall election. She serves on several boards that promote community solutions to social problems, including A Place Called Home that works with at-risk children in South Central Los Angeles. She also serves on the Board of Trustees for the Archer School for Girls, the advisory board of the Council on American Politics at George Washington University, and the board of the Reform Institute that works on campaign and election reform issues. Her latest project is the Huffington Post.
