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.

Occupy Herbstreit


In a lighter vein, there is "Occupy Herbstreit" -- another grassroots movement, this one aimed at college football and named for the ESPN broadcaster. Among the "Occupy Herbstreit" demands:


College mascots must be allowed to unionize.

A $1 trillion federal bailout to the Big East Conference so they can buy themselves some new teams.

Conferences with numbers in their names must have that many schools in them.

Penn State must reveal its secret for keeping Joe Paterno alive.


A spokesman for the movement said, "We're football-focused and we always avoid politics, but if Herman Cain's 9-9-9 plan includes a nine-game playoff, he's our man!"
