Poetic stylings of Sully

The Internet

It's here, it's there, it's everywhere,

It’s ads for beer, and underwear,

For words that slime, and hasty rhyme;

A manic place, this cyberspace,

Where chaos rules, and abusive fools,

Share fleeting pages, with gentle sages.

The Internet, is lusty sweat,

Heated chat, and granny’s cat.

It's the latest news, and words that bruise,

It's thoughts that heal, and sex appeal,

Sights of yonder, and things to ponder.

It's manic raves, and keyboard slaves,

It's a fleeting wonder, and floods down under.

What it ain't, is for the faint,

Unless they need, a healthcare feed,

Or for those who rule, and hate a tool,

That puts free speech, in people's reach,

And enables groups, away from troops.

Krauthammer’s Take: TPP ‘Exemplifies All That’s Wrong with the Clinton Candidacy’ September 28, 2016
Charles Krauthammer said that the exchange on the Trans-Pacific Partnership was the low moment for Hillary Clinton in the first presidential debate with Donald Trump, since it showed her lack of principle: In fact she did call it “the gold standard.” And this one exchange, this one issue, exemplifies all that’s wrong with the Clinton candidacy. She obviously […]

The Ferguson Effect in Ferguson September 28, 2016
How did the Ferguson effect affect Ferguson, Mo., last year? Precisely as you would expect. The little city of 21,059 already had a disproportionately high crime rate, as anyone observing the behavior of Michael Brown before he was fatally shot by Ferguson officer Darren Wilson in August 2014 would have guessed. In 2014, Ferguson’s violent-crime rate was 545 […]

More on Trump’s Iraq Revisionism September 28, 2016
I’d add a few more details to Ramesh’s post about the context for Trump’s claim of fierce opposition to the war in Iraq – some context for the context, as it were. In 1998, President Bill Clinton signed the Iraq Liberation Act, which had been overwhelmingly approved in both houses of Congress. It thus became the unambiguous foreign policy of the United State […]
