Online news site, The Huffington Post is buying comedy site 236.com from IAC/InterActiveCorps. The comedy news site was founded in 2007 as a joint venture between The Huffington Post and IAC. Huffington plans to integrate the website into its offering, as a way to expand beyond straight political commentary.

The Huffington Post raised USD25m in third-round funding last month, which it plans to use for further acquisitions.
