There are lots of reasons to read Drudge. One is that he’s usually first. Another is that he’s always fun:

The nation’s financials may be in a spiral, but cash is flowing into the Obama campaign faster than Marvin Hamlisch can play “Niagara”!
Yesterday, Obama declared how we are in “the most serious financial crisis since the Great Depression.”
Today he will host a dinner in Beverly Hills — costing attendees $28,500 dollars each!
Hundreds of high rollers, including some of the biggest executives in film, television and music, will munch gourmet chow and hang out with the candidate.
Streisand will then sing at the five-star Beverly Wilshire, no doubt reviving the Depression-era standard “Happy Days Are Here Again” with new urgency.

Marvin Hamlisch! Drudge sometimes reads like he should be writing a column in some 1950s tabloid, like he’s Sid Hudgens in L.A. Confidential.
