Yes, I still check it out, but I am on FR more than I check out Drudge.
I email Drudge sometimes, like the moment the Arnett story was breaking on Fox because he didn't have anything on his page. Zip - zero. I bet he got numerous emails last Sunday night. He did have Arnett's aiding and abetting story on his radio show that night.
I call him "Matt" instead of Drudge. I found Free Republic because of him. I still go there but this is always my first stop - and longest stop.
