In my monthlong absence, I didn’t monitor the Drudge Report or Drudge-specific news, so I just now discovered that Matt’s one-and-only ex-assistant rejoined him after what must have been four months (max) at the Huffington Post. As I mentioned here in February, there was a bit of press speculation about why he left and what it would mean for the Drudge Report. Consider that Andrew put in 22 hours each week and Matt, without him, was working 16 hours a day according to press interviews. Even though he’s worked out the whole time-management thing over the past 10 years — and he managed the site alone for at least four years without the kind of money he rakes in now –I’m sure it’s a bit of a relief for him. As for the notion of Breitbart “leaving” Drudge for Arianna, it’s probably a case of apples and oranges if his Huffington Post gig was full-time. (Like I said in a February posting, Arianna is an old friend and former boss, and Breitbart’s politics are similar to Drudge’s.) Anyway, apparently Robin has been back with Batman since early June at the latest.

Hmm…if Drudge Report seems “bloggy”, maybe we can blame it on Andrew.
