Matt Drudge and his Drudge Report gained popularity in the late 1990s after a number of reports in which he beat the mainstream media by reporting first. Drudge gained notoriety when he was the first outlet to break the news which later became the Monica Lewinsky scandal.

We believe Drudge has crossed the line of fair, newworthy reporting and has endangered a soldier and military regiment in a combat zone.

England’s Prince Harry, third in line to the British throne, has been serving on the front line with an army unit in Afghanistan’s southern Helmand province since mid-December.

Prince Harry’s deployment plan had been disclosed to reporters, with no specific date, but was not reported previously because of an agreement between the Ministry of Defense and all major news organizations operating in Britain, including The Associated Press. The news blackout was intended to reduce the risk to the prince and his regiment.

The news embargo was broken, however, after reports of the prince’s deployment were leaked by an Australian magazine and a German newspaper, and then reported on a U.S. Web site, the Drudge Report.

Drudge could have and should have refrained from placing this news in a broad headline on his website. Drudge wanted a news story at the possible cost of endangering Prince Harry and his regiment. If so many news organizations could hold a story then Drudge should have taken the high road and followed suit. Leaking the story is inexcusable.

Harry’s work in Afghanistan has involved calling in airstrikes on Taliban positions as well as going out on foot patrols. He spent part of his deployment at a base 500 yards from Taliban positions, the military said.

We would like to give readers a little background on Matt Drudge, now successful but with a history as a bottom dwelling loser. Just say it’s my way of calling in an airstrike on Drudge.

Matthew Drudge, raised in Takoma Park, Maryland, near Washington, DC, is an only child. His parents are Jewish liberal-Democrats who both worked for the federal government.

His father Robert Drudge, a former social worker who owns the reference site www.refdesk.com  and his mother, a former staff attorney for Ted Kennedy, divorced when he was six. Drudge went to live with his mother.

He had few friends but was an avid news reader and radio talk show fan. In his book Drudge Manifesto, Drudge reports that he “failed his Bar Mitzvah”, and graduated 341st out of a class of 355 from Northwood High School in 1984, thus giving himself, in his words, a “more than adequate curriculum vitae for a post at 7-Eleven”.

He was arrested at age 15, on June 18, 1981, for making harassing telephone calls. After the arrest, Drudge went to live with his father on a farm on the eastern shore of Maryland. But before long his father sent Drudge back to Washington to live with his unemployed mother.

Drudge was then placed in psychiatric treatment with Jewish Social Services. It was recommended that the boy be sent to a boarding school, “and if not the last choice will be a foster home” (from court papers).

Matt Drudge an Ernie Pyle? No. Matt Drudge a prostitute? Indeed!

More Great Commentary from the Southwest and Tom Bliss

****************** 

Love that wacky, kooky Barack and his secret way of getting women to swoon.

If you understand that he says exactly the opposite of what he means, you too can break the code.

If you can take the punishment, try to listen to an entire Obamafuscation between now and next week’s Ohio and Texas primaries without hitting “mute” on your remote—and without throwing up in your mouth a little bit.

And listen, carefully. There’s a big surprise in every O-ration if you know what to look for.

When Obama speaks, there’s a pattern so subtle in his phrasing that even National Reconnaissance Office code breakers have missed it. But I have cracked the Obamacode and am about to blow the lid off the entire campaign.

In fact, if you can decipher certain inflections and phrases, you will be astounded. And impressed. This candidate is far deeper, much more sincere and simply funnier than anyone outside his camp has come to know.

The “O-decoder TM” is the key and I have created it myself, using ordinary household tools.

Why hasn’t anyone thought of this up to now??

Like most people, I’ve seen the DaVinci Code and read the Bible Code and have a WWII Enigma machine on my desk. I simply strung together every 16th vowel and third consonant from Barack’s speeches and, then factored in the Apollo 13 gravitational flight path algorithms to figure it out. Anyone could have done it. Really.

My conclusion? This man is brilliant. 

Example 1: When I ran the text of Barack’s last 67 stump speeches (which are essentially identical) through my code breaking system, I noticed a pattern in every speech. When he says “change we can believe in,” the decoder reads:

”Wound my heart with a monotonous languor”.

I knew I had seen this before, somewhere. Yes! He borrowed it from British intelligence (MI5) and the French resistance; these words were broadcast by the BBC on June 5th, 1944 at 24:00 hours to launch the invasion of Normandy.

D-Day!

So, what was Barack telling us? I believe it’s an analogy. Maybe an anagram. Whatever.

Here it is: He will invade Iran, kick sand in Ahmadinejad’s face and march to Berlin in 10 months!

O-Day!

Well, that’s what the O-decoder TM said and I’m pretty sure I’ve got it mostly right, except for the Berlin part.

But whatever he says, he’s yanking our chains! He really means something entirely, completely opposite.

This discovery too seemed eerily familiar. Could the Obamacode be borrowed—even plagiarized from someplace?

I have incontrovertible evidence that the Obama campaign has consulted with the screenwriters who invented George Costanza, (the Jerry Seinfeld character who couldn’t score with chicks). 

George Costanza realized that everything he normally thought or said was unattractive to women and decided to say and do the opposite of every impulse he had—to become wildly successful.

Barack is a skinny guy with big ears. But he is wildly successful with chicks. Lib chicks anyway—like The Oprah, the panel from the View. Probably Jane Fonda too.

To make him attractive, his handlers actually stole the Costanza Code to disguise his real intentions when it comes to the economy, big oil, taxation, employment and dozens of other campaign issues.

Everything he says is the opposite of what he thinks and what he knows is right!

Nothing else could possibly explain his position on anything.

When he says, “Raise taxes to grow the economy!” my O-decoder TM system shows that what he really means is, “I know that taxes are too high and always hurt the formation of capital and slow down both job creation and tax revenues.”

Or when he says, ”I’ll get us out of Iraq!” he’s really saying, “I’ll get us out of Iraq, change directions and take out the Iranian Air Force, Navy and all 27 nuke plants in 24 hours because these people are planning to wipe out Israel!”

Or this one: “We can’t have Exxon making 27 billion dollars in profits in one quarter. I’ll see to it they pay higher taxes.” What they really mean is, “We’re already getting 50% of their corporate profits in federal taxes and if it wasn’t for these guys, our cars would run dry in 30 days!”

And then there’s my favorite,” We’ll make sure everyone has healthcare whether they can afford it or not!” He really means that we already have the best healthcare system in the world and trial lawyers are responsible for half of the cost increases system wide, with skunks like John Edwards profiting from pain and suffering.

This whole code thing is a huge inside joke, designed to fool the dullards at the RNC, CBS, NYT, ABC, NBC, MSNBC and McCain ’08. They all take him seriously!

This whole thing is so typical of this big time jokester. That wacky, crazy Barack, using that “holier than thou” persona to crack us up—pretending to be the Messiah. Kinda like Reverend Jim from Taxi, but with out the controlled substances.

There are a number of other Barack slogans I am attempting to decode as soon as my Apple IIC comes back from the shop. If you don’t have time to download your own Apollo algorithms and buy an Enigma machine on Ebay, just keep watching this blog for more updates.

NEW YORK —  William F. Buckley Jr., the erudite Ivy Leaguer and conservative herald who showered huge and scornful words on liberalism as he observed, abetted and cheered on the right’s post-World War II rise from the fringes to the White House, died Wednesday. He was 82.

His assistant Linda Bridges said Buckley was found dead by his cook at his home in Stamford, Conn. The cause of death was unknown, but he had been ill with emphysema, she said.

From House Republican Leader John Boehner:

“America has lost a giant.  William F. Buckley was, in large measure, the architect of the modern conservative movement.  His intellect, wit, and dedication have inspired generations.  In the 1950s, as many in America were moving toward a socialist future of ever-expanding government and ever-decreasing freedom, it took an act of courage and vision to stand athwart history and yell, ‘stop’ as Buckley wrote in the first issue of National Review.  As long as America honors the ideals of our Founding Fathers – free speech, freedom of religion, and limited, Constitutional government – his legacy will be cherished.”
