Welcome to Buster's Blog

Irregular commentary on whatever's on my mind -- politics, sports, current events, and life in general. After twenty years of writing business and community newsletters, fifteen years of fantasy baseball newsletters, and two years of email "columns", this is, I suppose, the inevitable result: the awful conceit that someone might actually care to read what I have to say. Posts may be added often, rarely, or never again. As always, my mood and motivation are unpredictable.

Too Few Medals Earns Gulag Vacation


The Winter Olympics are over and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev is not amused. He is embarassed by the Russians poor showing (only 3 golds)and said his country's Olympic officials should step down. On cue, the head of the Russian Olympic Committee offered his resignation, which was instantly accepted amid reports that this disgraced official was suddenly "unavailable for comment". Said Medvedev: "It'll be a sunny day in Siberia before this shit happens again!" Medvedev is currently spending rubles like a drunken sailor trying to convince top American, Canadian and Kenyan athletes to immigrate to Russia before the Summer Olympics begin.

Actual Russian Joke (Or So I'm Told): President Medvedev and Premier Putin are out to dinner together at Moscow's finest restaurant. After a cocktail, the waiter approaches and asks Putin what he would like for his entree. Putin replies, "A porterhouse steak, medium rare, and a baked potato." The waiter asks, "And for the vegetable?" Glancing at Medvedev, Putin says, "He'll have the same."
