Nothing on Drudge yet; it being a one man operation, the Mattster is probably asleep and will pounce on it in a few hours.
It's interesting when you wake up and see a big story breaking. I remember staying at my Dad's house on Cape
Cod the weekend Saddam was caught (my Dad is in his 80s
and retired--and a big liberal). "Well, I guess the Democrats won't win the election now," he predicted.
"Yeah," I muttered (smiling on the inside--he doesn't
know I'm conservative!)
And of course on that perfect late fall day in 2001
when I awoke around 9 am (I work a night job) and put my clock radio on Boston sports station WEEI, expecting to
hear talk about the Red Sox and Yankees. "We're going back to ABC News now for more on the World Trade Center, which has been hit by an airplane..." I went to my TV (the cable was out due to buffoons in my city hitting the line when
they were digging up my sidewalk, so I had to rely on
broadcast coverage--later in the day, it did come back.
I still remember eating at a pizza place and glancing at my Boston Herald (as well as the TV which had the 9/11
coverage on). The big story in the paper was, will Michael Jordan make a comeback? And I thought, the world has changed so greatly in the past few hours. It's like the
morning paper was from an era so long ago.
but I digress
