Drudge the thief redux: Take action!
On his front page, you can leave him a "news tip". Here's what I just left:

Tip: Don't steal Tom Tomorrow's photos, alter them slightly, and then post them on your website without giving credit. That's what we in the news-biz call "being a dick".

Thanks.



Yeah, I know he's probably gonna read this sooner or later, but fuck it.

1. I send him little notes everytime I visit his websewer
I usually comment on how weak and biased his current story might be. And I often tell him to strive to keep his "reporting" to the standards that led him to that dramatic "***WORLD WIDE EXCLUSIVE*** on Kerry's mistress. LOL.

(on a side note, had the misfortune of catching a bit of the 700 club today, and they were quoting drudge re: Kerry's "re-enacted" movies. sewer rats stick together, I guess)

GO KERRY!!!!

2. I found out about that earlier today via Tom's site...
...and all I can say is THIEF! This lazy, hag-chasing, sycophantic, ineffectual, desperate, canard-peddling, vapor-exclusive® (my invented word) flogging, one-hit wonder (for pinching Newsweek's research on the Monica story and making as though the work was his) is just too damned sluggish to snap his own pics? He'd rather troll blogs and lift, boost and pocket images and give no credit to the person who did the legwork to get it, eh? And have the gall to flop the image and subtly alter it--which is proof positive that he KNEW the deed itself was wrong?

Truly a craven, bottom dwelling creature.

His day in the unwanted media spotlight is coming verrrrry soon. :)

3. I just checked. Fudge took the picture down. But WAIT!
Out of curiousity, I checked the properties on the Fudged
picture that's still on Tom Tomorrow's site. Here's the URL:
