BLOG NEWS: BARD MAKES BLOGGER BLUSH

BLOG DUES

Two
million pageviews! Now that’s Blog news,
As
Uncle Gnarley tries to clue
The
uninformed and unenlightened
On
NL matters, with a bite in.
One
of few that truth pursues
On
hidden facts and obscured issues.
A
mighty task to dare to ask
For
honesty, and to graft unmask.
Through
constant fog, he writes away
To
shine the light on unearned pay,
And
always with a reasoned view.
To
Des Sullivan, much thanks are due.

Will we prove to be smart and nimble enough to do the same with the Upper Churchill?
