No More Drudge As Home Page - Recommendations Please
7/30/2001 | GRL

I have come to the conclusion that Matty has had a good run, thanks to the likes of us. I now however have grown tired of his anti-Bush bias as well as presenting politics as entertainment like Holloyweird.

This will end a 5 year precedent and I wish for any recommendations.

Matt- you only contribute to the stench emenating from our country's political and cultural cesspools. Besides- you have allways been too odd for me- hugs and kisses to Luccianne.

You can setup any page as a home page. I prefer a blank page

If you like breaking news, when it happens, Drudge still rules. A good alternative, although not updated nearly as often, is http://www.newsmax.com .

You're wildly misinterpreting the story and the photo. He puts a presidential photo of her up, and a headline that makes her sound like an idiot. Together, the message is "An idiot who wants to be president". Yeah, very pro-Hillary.

I prefer my company's homepage, to create the illusion that I intend to do something work-related on the internet.

I use blank as well. Just recently I have started using the "links" toolbar feature which I formerly opted not to show. To add shortcuts to the links toolbar simply drag the address from the address wind by grabbing the icon on the left of "http:" straight on to the links tool bar. Then you can right click on the link in the links tool bar in order to rename it with a short nmae and change the icon if you wish. If you move the links tool bar all the way over to the right where none of the links show it gives you a >> arrow to use as a pull down so nobody sees what your faves are while looking over your shoulder. You can also opt to lock your tool bars into place. That is how I do it.

Yeah--I know--his breathless reporting of all the celeb stuff is a real pain, but he does manage to scoop almost everyone else on the hard news as well (and Matt: who gives a sh*t about how many millions a new movie does at the box office over the weekend other than Hollywood execs and YOU).

But, he remains my home page with a quick click over to FR after I scan his headlines.

Thanks- that is what finally tripped me out, besides Matty is a major cynic with no answers.

I thought your were going to complain about Hillarybitch's picture posted on Drudge's site for the past 2 days. I am ready to get another page because of her ugly mug. No sense in her being on his website that long.

You're widly stretching your own interpretation. Drudge is a bit of a rabble rouser and provacatuer. I have tired of
it all. He also plays on your contempt for the Chappaquidic Witch so as to boost his hits, thus his income.

You should have suggested a Barf Bag Alert before encouraging others to view this ...

I agree with you to a large extent but wouldn't go this far: "Matt- you only contribute to the stench emenating from our country's political and cultural cesspools."

I think that's extreme and Drudge isn't that bad.
