I hate Drudge
What a slimy douschebag. Look at his main page now. Isn't this along the lines of the "no shit" school of journalism? Al Franken gave Fox profits off of his book being sold. Someone should tell Matt that 6 companies do own, roughly, 80% of all the media out there.

3. Fake indignation
Edited on Mon Mar-22-04 11:54 AM by chimpsrsmarter
Yes, they should have said it when the interview started but you know Newscorp publishes so many of the wingnuts books and i never hear them admit when they are being interviewed. It's just damge control coming from the squatter in chief.

10. Oh, "It"
It was quite scary in parts, but also funny.

12. coulrophobia - the fear of clowns
Jack Handy, author of Deep Thoughts on Saturday Night Live, gives his story: "To me, clowns aren't funny. In fact, they're kind of scary. I've wondered where this started and I think it goes back to the time I went to the circus, and a clown killed my dad.

2. Ignore his page - stop supporting Drudge's wallet
If people don't give him hits, he gets less attention and advertising.


EVERY time you click on his page, you give Drudge MONEY.

Think about it next time you go there.

May I suggest yahoo news or google news or, in necessary, visit a whore like CNN or MSRNC.

:)

7. I refuse to take a "news" source seriously when it has a flashing police..
light. I mean, it's idiotic beyond belief.

Is the New York Times website going to have a klaxon horn go off when THEY have a big news story?

I'm proud to say that I refuse to take "Mr. Egg Fetish" seriously.

Terry

5. ya know, the word 'douchebag' should really be eliminated from one's
vocabulary.

Its use displays a particularly ignorant and female sexuality - put down mindset that isn't particularly flattering to the one who uses it...

Comparing rush limbaugh to a vaginal-cleansing device implies that somehow keeping one's vagina clean (albeit with an archaic method no longer recommended) is a bad thing.

Again, just suggesting that you rethink the use of that word since you're on a liberal discussion board.

Thanks.
