i have a site that i simply want to add a updateable news section. ive never used drupal but can i just include a global file that sets up the querys and have a simple variable loop out the contents of a sql database and have the css i have already written style it? does drupal even do this? of course later if i want could i do the same with the many modules on the web? i cringe when i see gigantic portal templates of other drupal driven sites. i basically just want a admin to insert stuff into a database for me and i can handle the rest. if you guys can help me out on this ill buy you a six pack! CHEERS!:-)

not Drupal?
If that's all you want, then you don't want Drupal! I think you will be best served if you use Drupal as a framework and learn its API and work within it. Otherwise it's probably not the best tool for you to use.
On the other hand, if you want simple data CRUD within Drupal, you can try this module I wrote: http://drupal.org/project/object_driver
You have to write a very small additional module to define your data fields.
