Ann Coulter. She’s behind it.

She sits in her little room with five TV monitors going and three PCs. She’s a constant 24/7 media hound. From there she orchestrates the crap that she peddles to the outside world.

You can refresh and vote again, but I don’t think it counts unless you delete the cookies too.

I noticed how bad Shep looks. Something is wrong with him and I have a sneaky suspicion it begins with an A.

He sure is and he did and I went elsewhere. When he begins to go after the enemy again, Barry Hussein Soetoro, then I may give him another chance.

Much of what shows up on Drudge is coordinated — whether you agree with him or not.

Drudge is a barometer of what the ‘conservative’ cause is trying to jumpstart for news at any given time. That’s all.

Except the past few days have been interesting. It turns out much of the ‘conservative’ establishment has become just that, an ‘establishment.’

No real cause, just power for the sake of power.

Time to clean house. That is if you’re really interested in where the country is going.

Drudge might have his own agenda not consistent with the policies of Newt...

Drudge: ‘I Do Not Love Sex With Men’

4/6/2009

Drudge has never been said to particularly relish his homosexuality or embrace it; in fact his gay romantic/sexual side has been described (when alleged) as conflicted and awkward.

David Brock, the former right-wing writer, wrote in his memoir Blinded by the Right about a “scary” date in which Drudge, after bringing Brock flowers and navigating the Santa Monica gay strip “like a pro,” stepped on a competing suitor’s foot “really hard” (in Drudge’s purported words) in a nightclub to scare him away from Brock.

Alec Baldwin stated that Drudge made an advance on him in an ABC Studios hallway, a proposition that had “kind of a creepy quality to it.”

Drudge denied he was gay to the Miami New Times in 2001, even as he launched into a disquisition on (as the New Times put it) “the reigning DJ king of gay circuit parties” and summarized his nightlife thusly: “I go to straight bars, I go to gay bars.”

As I said previously, with Drudge being the news yesterday and it being the day of a big debate, I think the trend should have been the other way. We’ll see how his traffic shakes out over this.

I commend you on your neatness - I guess. My computer desk, with two PCS, one Mac, and four monitors, looks like a bomb went off.

As long as I have that 2” circle to move my mouse, I’m ok tho.

I am curious, too. I hope someone still goes over to his site to get the states and reposts them here for us. :-)

As for Anne, I moved on from her after all her endless “birthers are dumb” attacks.

She has become part of the Republican establishment and I don’t have any time for her.

Thanks a bunch! It is neat as I have been well trained. If I allow it to become cluttered my wife wacks me in the back of the head. My friends call her Hazel.

I was among those "lost" page hits.

I hope it continues at least through FL's election and, as unlikely as it's looking, Newt can somehow eek out a victory.

Matt Drudge? The guy could really pour a cherry slurpee. Always left the paper on the straw, though.

I have never understood two things very well:

1) Why people would make a page as ugly as the Drudge Report their home page : )

2) (And more importantly) why people choose only media that agrees with what they already think and get dissed and move away when someone (even someone from their own political camp) thinks a little differently.

I like to read points of view that I disagree with all the time. It helps me adjust my own view, see whether it will stand up to the clear thinking of others.

I deleted Drudge from my Bookmarks and changed my Homepage. I won’t return to that site again. If you want the look of Drudge without supporting Drudge check out orbusmax.com, which does national and northwest news.
