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.

Just Barely Scrapin' By


To show us that he did not benefit financially from the 2008 demise of his former employer, Lehman Bros., Ohio gubernatorial candidate John Kasich (R) released his 2008 tax returns. These forms show how miraculous it was that Kasich was able to make ends meet in that tax year, struggling and scrimping as he did on a mere $1.4 million in taxable income. And what a relief to learn that while their shareholders took it up the ass, Lehman was financially non-benefitting Kasich to the tune of only $615,000 in compensation. And Fox News was giving him a paltry $265,000 as a commentator. Yes, times were certainly tough in 2008. On the bright side, Kasich's book sales earned him $51 in royalties.
