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.

Wordsmiths



The other day, Sarah Palin said that "peaceful Muslims" should "refudiate" the building of a mosque near Ground Zero in New York City. Now, you know, I know, and even Dan Quayle knows that there is no such word as refudiate. Sarah laughed off her gaffe and even compared herself to William Shakespeare, remarking that he too liked to "invent new words".

Somewhere in England, the Bard's skeleton is spinning furiously.
