drudge blog

You may notice that my last entry is missing.  Apparently we had an uninvited visitor who decided to have a little fun with this site early yesterday morning, and in doing so erased an essay that took more time to compose than innocent working types like myself really have.  Luckily it wasn’t a “political” hacker, and the only items changed were the site title and most recent entry.  But even when an essay is saved, the logistics of linking can chew up a surprising amount of time — which I won’t have for a few days, and therefore a time-sensitive topic won’t get covered when it’s hot.

I realize that some readers out there are not going to understand the point of devoting bandwidth and time to a seemingly single subject.  But contrary to the comment in my “Night Shift” entry, I actually have a little too much of a life to spend writing about “Drudge issues”.  It’s not about passing the time or supporting one individual –it’s about opening philosophical dialogue on ideas and news angles that aren’t really broached or dissected elsewhere.

Hackers don’t just invade property.  They throw a monkey wrench in the lines of communication.  It’s no more funny or constructive than breaking into someone’s house or interrupting a radio broadcast. 

Don’t mess with the bull, hack-holes, or you’ll get the horns.

Coming up is an update on a new book discussing Matt Drudge’s role in American politics and the news media…When, that is, I have time.
