The UK’s Telegraph publication completed its list of “the 50 most influential US political pundits” today with the top ten, and it’s only half-retarded. The big problem is that Matt Drudge comes in at #6, when there is no question that he should be #1. No one else on this list would have anything to say, and say all too often, if it weren’t for Matt Drudge. You really cannot underestimate this. Stupid England. [Telegraph]

While we’re having Thanksgiving this week, our ex-overlords in Britain are losing tax records:

[British Finance Minister Alistair] Darling was yesterday forced to explain to lawmakers how two unencrypted disks containing records of 7.3 million families claiming child-benefit payments had gone missing from the tax authority, which is overseen by the Treasury. The loss, the largest of its kind in U.K. history, lays open the 25 million people named in the data to the risk of fraud and theft. (emphasis ours)

LOLengland. This is what you get for taxing our fucking tea and stamps. [Bloomberg]
