Drudge simultaneously lambasts the health care bill for being too long and complex (”Pelosi’s biggest one yet! 1,990 pages…”) and for having a high money/word ratio (”$2.2M A Word), which is contradictory. A simpler/shorter bill will have a higher money/word ratio.

Is Drudge’s point the money:word ratio or the total size of the bill? 1990 pages and $2.2m/word communicates the scale of the whole rather than the expense of the details.

I think the math works out, actually. Couple hundred words per page. . .
How do you feel about Drudge?

I like Drudge quite a lot. It’s the only news page I check on a regular basis.

I thought that was your opinion on Drudge, so I was naturally confused about the “dishonesty”, “inconsistency”, “partisan” tags on the post.
Drudge is my only go-to site for news as well. I suppose you’re the wiser for taking everything with a grain of salt.

This is an example of these things, most of the time he doesn’t have that problem.
