In my recent post commenting on the anti-vaccine hysteria promoted by The Huffington Post, I referred to that site (in what I fondly imagined was cutting edge wit), as The Puffington Host. I find I must therefore apologize to The real Puffington Host for in any way implying their organ is The Huffington Post. Or, as their site proclaims:
Life at the intersection of Politics and Entertainment. NOT affiliated with The Huffington Post. Unless, of course, you count us ridiculing them loudly and abusively as being affiliated with them.
Nuff said.
And apparently I can’t refer to Huffington’s Toast either, for the same reasons.
What am I going to use for bad puns in future? The Huffing and Roast? The Huff and I’ll Puff the Most? What is an honest blogger to do?
Actually, some of the potential bad puns that come to mind are not suitable for a family audience....

I usually refer to it as The Train Wreck.

Agreed. It's not a pun, though. (Although strictly speaking, "The Puffington Host" is a Spoonerism not a pun.)
