TBTM Headlines Drudge
Looks like Drudge read Byron york's column today and splashed a bogus 'connection' between MoveOn and a flash movie that Symbolman made better than a year ago on the hugest headline he could find.
Needless to say, everyone is 'shocked' and 'outraged.' You'd think they'd have gotten over it, already.
Update: Thanks to Drudge's 'outrage,' we received nearly 70,000 visitors from his home page today. Thanks, Fedora-Boy.
TBTM Editorial in the works. Breaking furiously.... (snicker)
Replies: 5 people speak up
Janeane Garofalo, also chosen by MoveOn to judge the contest, last year referred to the Bush administration as the "43rd Reich."
The "43rd Reich"? Wow, that's a great quip! I will henchforth incorporate that witticism into my vocabulary. Thank you, Janeane. Thank you, Symbolman and TBTM.

Drudge likes to talk about how hip he is concerning the internet news and blog scene, how is it that so many of us read his page and at the same time have seen all of your question mark campaign flashes?
The true outrage is a lot deeper than he thinks.

Does anyone bother to check sources or even bother to read the actual articles?
I think not
