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.

"I Can Whip Any Woman In This Place!"


An Iowa schoolboy wrestler made the news yesterday when he refused to wrestle a girl in the state tournament. She won by default.

The boy's name is Joel Northrup and he's home-schooled. (Red flag!) According to Joel, wrestling is a "combat sport" (Hey Joel, women are in the military these days, or don't they teach you that at home?) and he just couldn't wrestle a girl "as a matter of faith". (WWJW -- Who would Jesus wrestle?)

Now, if this kid is really some sort of conscientious objector, OK and good for him. But in Buster's humble opinion, he's just toeing the God-squad parental line. Joel, grow a set, channel your inner Andy Kaufman, and slam that bee-yotch to the mat!

  1. Buster - I enjoy your comments, political views and sense of humor. But "bee-yotch"? C'mon. She's a young woman doing her best. She's not a "bee-yotch." Show a little respect.

  2. Sorry. No disrespect intended. Was trying to mimic the old Andy Kaufman wrestling character. Guess my try was a fail. :)
