Internet King and America’s news editor Matt Drudge is freaking out right now, complete with his trademark scare quotes. (I swear, you could probably write a thesis about how Drudge influences the American media.) There’s a bill that’s currently floating around the U.S. Senate that would, in times of emergency, put the Internet, in a sense, in control of the White House. And then the government will make you eat fruits and vegetables! Tyranny! The bill, still only a draft (and one that’s sure to be amended again given the reaction we’ve seen today), was put together by Sen.

Oh, look at that: A self-professed fan of blogger Matt Drudge has released iDrudge , an apparently unauthorized iPhone app for reading the Drudge Report . No need to zoom in, like in Mobile Safari. Also: No ads! One would think author Joseph Nardone might have tried to incorporate some of the Drudge Report ’s advertising, as a nod to the blogger who made it possible for him to sell this piece of software for 99 cents a pop. But he doesn’t; iDrudge merely provides an easy way to access the links Drudge so tirelessly culls from the internet.
