That being said, his refresh rate certainly IS NOT to update the site. I've opened it in the mornings and then also in the evening with often NOTHING changed. An intelligent logical conclusion is not hard to come by. Certainly the numbers are inflated and he should have a bit more class than that. It would help his sight's creditability. As is I am a disappointed regular user of the Drudge Report knowing he purposely exaggerates his numbers. He must think people are really stupid. Granted over half are... just looks who's going to be president. :P I’m a Drudge fan. That being said, his refresh rate certainly IS NOT to update the site.

The most absurd number is his 6.88 billion visitors in the past year -- a figure he apparently doesn't realize is bigger than the entire population on the planet. His monthly number of visitor is not just double but nearly triple every the population of every man, woman, and child in the United States.
