About me


I'm Brendan Loy, a 26-year-old graduate of USC and Notre Dame now living and working in Knoxville, Tennessee. My wife Becky and I are brand-new parents of a beautiful baby girl, born on New Year's Eve.

I'm a big-time sports fan, a politics, media & law junkie, an astronomy buff, a weather nerd, an Apple aficionado, a Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter fanatic, and an all-around dork. My blog is best-known for its coverage of Hurricane Katrina, but I blog about anything and everything that interests me.

Good for him.

Bad for CNN if they are compromising his position.

Apparently Drudge broke the story. What an asshole.

If it's a 3 month tour and he has been there since December this is not compromising his position.

From AP:
The planned deployment had been disclosed to reporters, with no specific date, and was not reported previously under a pool agreement between the Ministry of Defense and all major news organizations operating in Britain, including The Associated Press. The news blackout was intended to reduce the risk to the prince and his regiment.

The news embargo was broken, however, after reports of the prince's deployment were leaked by an Australian magazine and a German newspaper, and then reported on a U.S. Web site, the Drudge Report.

If he is still in the country and is still going on patrols, as appears to be the case, the guy is at risk. Bin Laden would like nothing better than to cut the head off a Royal on Al Jazeera.

What? Drudge being an irresponsible asshole? Surely you jest!

If this were World War II, Drudge would have been shot. Loose lips sink ships.

"Loose lips sink ships."


Just keep Britney Spears' vagina away from our aircraft carriers.

The right wing media is aiding the terrorists!

I'm pleased to report a major Spike in online contributions to the Citizens Committee to Horsewhip Matt Drudge :}. The Surge in public support from both sides of the Pond is such that we expect soon to have enough to rent a nice cozy Room for him in the Tower, accessorized with several ravenous Ravens :> for to Dine upon his entrails ;]. If you can keep those Dollars, Pounds & Euroes coming we may even be able to arrange for Yer Man's subsequent Rendition to Lashkar Gah, thus fulfilling our longtime dream of seeing him Go to Helmand. ;}

Dude . . . Drudge is worse than the British tabloids. Which is something I never thought I'd say, low as Drudge has gone in the past.
