His Imperial Majesty has an ambivalent relationship to Drudge. Mostly positive, mind you, but occasionally we do get pissed off at him for ignoring what we, in our Imperial Wisdom, consider important. And since our Imperial Wisdom, which is a term that we just made up, finds it important then by G-d it IS important.
One thing we’ve never been ambivalent about, however, is our admiration for his ability to juxtapose headlines for maximum effect (not to mention our admiration for his ability to keep a website design that looks like it was puked out by a 1980s BBS junkie and still be massively popular, but we digress), a skill that is absolutely second to none. Whenever he does it we go “ouch!” and we’re not even the target of those one-two punches of his.
Example: The just-released jobs report. How does one put a headline about that up on one’s site so it hurts the target the most? Here’s how:
Damn. But DAMN! That’s beautiful.
Thatisall.
