Knoebels made the DRUDGE Report. A worker was struck at the park today during testing of a new anticipated roller coaster.
Not the best reason to make news.. and hopefully the worker is fine and recovers..
At this time, testing of the coaster has stopped … and I an sure media calls are now deluging the offices of Knoebels. .

Matt Drudge gave a very rare interview this week..
Among some money quotes:
I will go where the action is, sometimes before it’s cool to do it, that’s why I get in trouble. I make waves, I don’t surf them as I used to say. That’s not that easy in this atmosphere with so many news outlets
And:
All of these polls are always divided. Capitol Hill is divided. How can you say the airwaves or the website should not be divided. We are
Plus:
These are very hot spicy issues here. We’re into an interesting summer here. We’re only about a week into it, I’m sensing some heat. And not just from the temperature outside, I think things are heating up in many respects
Interesting to hear how the trailblazer of internet success is now riding the same highway he paved, noticing all of the bumps and intersections filled with traffic due to his own creativity and success.
A lot of people hate Matt Drudge. But he was the first blog before anyone knew what one was.. he Tweeted before Twitter.. and he was 24/7 while everyone else was just dialing up. He changed the internet at the very beginning and everyone else tried to mock his success..
And it all started with a siren that will live in infamy.
15 years ago, the Internet pioneer was remarkably prophetic about where journalism was headed.
Interesting story.. And he was right, regardless of your opinion on him. He called this one..
Every era of news reporting has a pioneer.. And often they are flawed, often we’re in awe.. but in the end they are human.
Reporters 15 years ago had disdain for Drudge. They may have more now that he turned out to be spot on..
Yes, Drudge, we get it. Sexual innuendo. Clever.
But the story is strange to say the least.. Janet Napolitano is being sued by males for filling top positions with females who were hell-bent, the lawsuit says, on treating male staffers like dogs…
According to the suit, male staffers were ‘banished to bathrooms’ and humiliated.
I’m guessing we will be hearing about this for a while—which gives many more opportunities for Matt Drudge to place photos with hidden meanings on the top of his site.

Matt Drudge, who seems to be able to read tomorrow’s New York TIMES today almost every day, reports this on his site today:
NYT PLANS SUNDAY EXCLUSIVE ON ORIGINS OF ‘STUXNET WORM’, WHICH IS BELIEVED TO HAVE INFECTED IRAN NUKE PLANT… DEVELOPING
It will be fascinating to see the TIMES’ write up on it, and details behind it.. truly an interesting and somewhat frightening story ..
