You know I was starting to feel optimistic about the world wide web. Just when the supernova of douche that is Al Yellon started to cool down we somehow managed to find another stern parental figure to tell us what is and isn't ok on the internet. Bad Kermit at HJE of all people decided to pick up that banner dropped by Al and let us know that calling Paul Sullivan names IS NOT OK!!!

Feel free to browse through the entirely too long page of finger wagging and scolding if you want but I will give you the cliff notes version of the dankest nuggets found in that article.

First off, the very idea that Paul Sullivan -- a 40 something something (one for the age, the other for gender) -- needs another man to come to his rescue because of what people are saying about him on the internet is hilarious to me. We should start by saying this isn't about "Idiotgate" or the tweets Sullivan put out there the other day. I'll say my peace about Sullivan before I move onto BK's sacntimonious bullshit.

It seems that BK's converison to Sullvian's bodygaurd started when he met the guy at Cub Con and shared a beer with him. Apparently Sullivan has such an aura about him that it made BK and the HJE crew forget years of snarking at the guy and made them want to be friends. That, or BK is just a giganitc pussy/starfucker. Since ACB was very much on Sullivan's mind that night let me just say this -- if Paul Sullivan came to my table and asked what my problem is, I would gladly tell him it's not about race or his lame tweets, but rather it's about him being a petty little bitch and a horrible writer to boot.

His hatchet job on Milton Bradley had less to do with the color of the guy's skin and more to do with the fact that Milton was mean to Paul. BK even defended Sullivan's actions becuase gosh Paul is just a guy and who would want to be nice to a player who was mean to them? The anwser is a real journalist, you retard. Sullivan is a beat writer who turns what could be a column with real information about the team he is paid to report on into a HS diary where he trashes the players who weren't very nice to him. That's a violation of journalism 101 and its pathetic. Paul Sullivan's feelings are not the fucking story.

Nobody gives a shit about how he feels about things and if he isn't capable of keeping himself out of every single article he writes he should have the pride to either A) improve or B) quit. Honestly, when was the last time you read a good Paul Sullivan article? When was the last time he broke a big story or offered great insight into the club? Bruce Miles does it.  Even Dave Kaplan has made a real effort of improving his understanding of the game and therefore improving his coverage of the team. So that's why we bash the guy over here and its why WV and 424 do it at their blogs. And do you know what else they do? They provide real content and analysis as well something that HJE could never do.

The only reason I ever read HJE was for the humor. Either dust off your Hitler meme again or shut the fuck up because besides the jokes there is nothing of substance to speak of. Seriously, Thunder Matt's Saloon has more depth than the pablum HJE puts out now. So for BK to stand on his eSoapbox and moralize to other bloggers who are doing far more to provide content about the team is asinine. This was a guy who authroed the most off beat, irreverant and subversive Cubs blog out there for awhile and apparently the price of his soul was a slice of pizza and Paul Sullivan acknowledging his existence at Cub Con.

How disspaointing! Hell, even Yellon got an interview with Crane Kenney in return for pimping his blog out. The best BK could manage was a deep dish and perhaps the lamest radio apperance in history on Dave Kaplan's show. Although to be fair, I was amazed BK was able to speak at all considering he had Kaplan's cock shoved so far down his throat. So BK save your lectures, enjoy your new acceptable blogger status and leave the rest of us alone. If you want to be the Jay Leno of Cubs blogs and a raging pussy, go right ahead, but the rest of us will blog the way we feel like it and if it means we can't have any pizza or beer with the MSM then so be it. I guess our familes and friends will have to suffice.

PS- I love the part where you keep going on about how "you don't care about what people on the interent say about me" but you cared enough about what they said about Paul Sullivan that you gave us a 3,000 word manifesto. You are either a humanitarian with way too much time on your hands or the biggest suck up I've ever seen. Make sure you and Al send us a postcard from the seceret house-blogger retreat that the establisment sends you on.
