Bye-Bye Drudge

This post is going to seem a little arcane to non-web news readers, however I'll make it brief.

Those who have been using the web as a primary internet source are aware of the institution called The Drudge Report. Matt Drudge broke the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal and has been considered a "right of center" media outlet ever since then.

His site has basically turned into a top-tier tabloid filled with "SHOCKING" headlines. If I only read Drudge's site, I would assume there was an underground conspiracy by sharks and hurricanes to take over the United States. The last few years I've hit Drudge's site out of habit more than anything.

No longer. He's been filling his site with these damn pop-ups for a few years, which has barely been tolerable, and today an ad popped up for "Adult Friend Finder." You, the reader, are capable of filling in the blanks (my readers have a very high IQ--averaging at least 10 points higher than me at any given time), but for those dummies strolling by who are not regulars, Adult Friend Finder is not a site where kids with no adult supervision find a father figure.

Well, at least if they are under 18.

Drudge, today we officially break-up. If I want to find someone looking for three-way action dressed in a monkey suit with their twin sister I'll find it myself.

Matt Drudge and Andrew Sullivan--into the dustbin of the net.
