1. He posts stories that are bizarre or sensational, regardless of who's involved.
2. He gained a lot of prominence because of the Lewinsky stories he broke during the blue dress days, leading many to assume (understandably) that he's a conservative.
3. He's a populist, at least when it comes to his consistent distrust of large corporations.
One of the reasons I stopped visiting his site as much as I once did is that I got so bored with his diatribes against "aolcnntimewarner insert other assimilated corporations here". Not that I'm a fan of that particular coroporation, because I'm most definitely not, but it's a boring issue.
As for the picture.......I LOVE IT!!!
