Osama, Where Art Thou? (Dave Lucas)

Fri, 04 Jul 2008 22:30:00 GMT

This past Wednesday Matt Drudge dug up a 10-year old news item where Osama Bin Laden is quoted as saying he'd like to punish the west with $144 a barrel oil. OBL has gotten his wish. What now? Is there any real chance Osama'll surface before the November US Presidential election? OBL is the one guy on earth I just wouldn't want to be. Guilty, even if proven innocent. Questions remain:...

Rush vs Matt (Fresh Bilge)

Fri, 04 Jul 2008 00:38:13 GMT

In the mainstream, at the New York Times, everything you ever wanted to know about Rush Limbaugh. In the sidestream, at New York Press, everything you never wanted to know about Matt Drudge. Both are narcissists, but the elder knows policy and ideology; the younger deals in personalities. The elder will reluctantly support McCain; [...]

[Interesting] New tell-all book written by former stripper rips Matt Drudge a new one, revealing among other shocking facts, that he's a "Young And The Restless" addict (Fark.com)

Thu, 03 Jul 2008 22:02:29 GMT

When I was in college, I took classes in the morning, did my studying in the afternoon and then worked nights. I remember one day that I didn't have any homework to do, so I turn on the TV. This was pre-cable, so all we had was the 3 networks and one local channel. All of the networks are showing soaps, so I watched one of them out of boredom. The next thing I know, I'm watching that stupid show every...

Drudge in the Tank? (A Blog For All)

Fri, 27 Jun 2008 17:18:00 GMT

What is Matt Drudge up to these days? Is he purposefully engaging in deceptive tactics with his headlines and photo choices? His latest headline for today links to the rising price of crude oil, but the photo above his link isn't all that it seems. You'll see some eye popping prices per gallon, but that isn't what caught my attention. It was the octane ratings for those gas prices that...

Associated Press Wants No Blog Links (Never Yet Melted)

Mon, 16 Jun 2008 13:03:09 GMT

The Associated Press cracked down Friday on an obscure blog, titled the Drudge Retort (evidently a leftwing parody of Matt Drudge), having invented its own draconian version of a Fair Use Policy, amounting essentially to no use. AP ordered Drudge Retort to remove seven items which quoted between 39 and 79 words of AP articles. (Note: [...]

matt.welch@reason.com (Matt Welch) — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 14:38:52 GMT

Via Matt Drudge , I see that Camille Paglia has discovered that the AM airwaves ain't so friendly to the Democratic nominee: Meanwhile, conservative talk radio, which I have been following with interest for almost 20 years, has become a tornado alley of hallucinatory holograms of Obama. He's a Marxist! A radical leftist! A hater of America! He's "not that bright"; he can't talk without...
