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.

Liveblogging the South Carolina Democratic Debate February 26, 2020
Alas, my esteemed colleague Vodkapundit is off drinking elsewhere, so he won't be able to drunkblog the continuing trainwreck of the Democratic primary this evening. You'll have to settle for my buzzed blog instead. Although I make no guarantees I won't get hammered watching this "democratic" socialist steamroll his way to the nomina […]

Stunning: A Delusional Socialist Just Blew Away the Democrat Competition in Nevada. Now What? February 23, 2020
If you think that headline sounds like something from the Babylon Bee, you're not alone. It defies logic, reason, and incredible odds, but as of publishing time, it appears that Bernie Sanders—a democratic socialist who is not even a member of the Democratic Party—is going to blow away the competition in the Nevada caucuses. At present, with just over 2 […]

LIVE: A Minidrunkblog of the Nevada Caucuses February 22, 2020
Is "minidrunkblog" one word? Well, it is now. My wife doesn't usually let me work on weekends because apparently it makes me cranky. But tonight is special. We have the chance of a repeat of the Iowa Debacles, and maybe even a chance to stick a fork in Joe Biden's political career. That's something I've been wanting and waiting […]
