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.

Columbus Dispatch Celebrates Anti-Labor Day!


Times are tough for newspapers these days, but no paper helps itself less than the reliably idiotic Columbus Dispatch. It's a thin piece of shit, getting thinner each day. Ownership-wise and editorially, the Dispatch has always been a chronic red rag, and in that regard, it's getting redder and dumber everyday.

Today, Labor Day, the Dispatch brain trust saw fit, with typical tactlessness, to sow more seeds of divisiveness. They featured an editorial diatribe attacking the labor movement, the Democratic Party in general, and President Obama in particular. There will be no reason to celebrate Labor Day, according to the Dispatch, until the Socialist Negro is vanquished and Big Business is restored to its well-deserved place of supremacy and dominion.

So happy fuckin' Labor Day to all you hard-working people out there trying your best to keep it together for yourself, your family, and for society at large. How comforting it must be to know that your local newspaper believes you are the problem, not the solution.
