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.

One Down, One To Go


It's officially "End of Mission" in Iraq and we are outta there! Essentially. For the most part. In any event -- Good! Thank you, Cousin Barry! You kept your word, and we be gone.

Thus ends one of our more bizarre military misadventures, a false war against a false enemy on false pretenses.

We will always respect, honor and remember all those who served there, and will do the same for those whose country it is. For nine years, too many suffered and died. Ultimately, what was accomplished? Was it worth it?

History will be the judge, and probably a harsh one. While we're waiting for judgment, let's get the fuck out of Afghanistan too!
