The irony of Drudge's Weekend Web site
Have you noticed that Drudge's web site sort of slides on the weekend? By that I mean that it stays the same, esepcially if there's no new happening. Ironically, however, today the lead story talks about the sun setting as Ronnie was laid to rest. There's a picture of a Marine saluting, which, of course, is fine. I have the utmost respect for the military.

But this is the first thing I see when I check out his site today. I know, I know, turn my radio off; or in this case, click to another site. Drudge, inmho, however leaning far to the right, usually gets the news first. (even if he has to make it up)That's why I usually check out his site first.

No biggie. Just probably unintended ironnie, er, irony.

My boss invited me to join them yesterday as they were glued to super doppler funeral coverage. I quickly declined, making up an excuse on the spur of the moment. You see, I saw only about 1 minute (collectively, based on passing tv's and radios) of all the Reagan hype.

How amazing that our country is able to program its populace so prodigiously. (sorry, I couldn't resist that)

Anyway, have a super swell weekend!

Stew

P.S. Oh, have you heard that former President Reagan died?

1. Reagan's Funeral
Oh, have you heard that former President Reagan died?

Yes, but he will rise again. Possibly before the election.

2. He's hungover from late partying in South Beach gay clubs
Drudge parties every Friday and Saturday night in the gay clubs of South Beach. He is well known to drink heavily and to indulge in Amyl Nitrate on the dance floor, and is rumored to enjoy club drugs such as ecstasy and Special K. He follows DJ's that he particularly likes - he's a huge fan of gay-related techno. He has been repeatedly seen leaving these clubs at 4:30am (and much later) in a heavily intoxicated state.

My assumption is that the guy is far too hungover to update his web page until Sunday afternoon, just before his weekly Clear-Channel right wing radio show Sunday night. You watch - every Sunday afternoon Drudge starts posting fantastic but useless news stories to his site to promote his radio show. The scumbag is a closeted right wing disease. Like all Republicans, he is an infection on the American lanscape.
