I think the tsunami story may be the big story of the year for Drudge. He recently had a poll about the top headline and it had the election, Dan Rather, etc. But I think this story has come in and blown those away. Drudge has had this as the lead headline for 4 days straight…

I was out of town for a few days, and I’ve been extremely busy at work. So, there hasn’t been any posting recently. I will be back though…

Here Drudge is doing what he does best. Capturing an overlooked story and sensationalizing it just enough to make a bigger, more interesting story.

Chaos as much of China shrouded in heavy fog…

It’s just sensational enough to peak our interest, but not enough to sound like a tabloid (although some may disagree). There’s always a hint of the world coming to an end, but not really. Is China really in chaos? And Matt loves a good natural disaster…

It’s not unusual for Matt Drudge to draw attention to himself. What is unusual is the way he’s doing it tonight. Take a look…

“Dashing” pic of Drudge front & center. A link to Google Zeitgeist (search trends), where Drudge is outpacing Stern and other notables as a search keyword. Rare glimpse of Drudge-as-celeb here, or sign of things to come?

This story was just right up Matt Drudge’s alley. Netherlands hospital euthanizes terminally ill babies. And the real shocker is that they’d already been doing it for a while before they announced it. Humankind on the brink of tragedy, euthanasia on every streetcorner soon. Chaos… No worries, Matt Drudge exposed it in the infant stages. Pun intended.

(And that red headline grabs attention and is a refreshing dose of color. Ahh.)
