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.

Unintentional Humorists At The Dispatch


(My email to Darrell Rowland and Jack Torry, Columbus Dispatch reporters who wrote a January 15th article about how primary candidates pander to their political bases.)

RE: "Primary Extremism Can Sting Later" article

Gentlemen,

Had to chuckle at one sentence in your piece today where you mention a certain Republican spin/position and write that it "has drawn support from sources as varied as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and Rush Limbaugh."

Varied? That's a good one! The Chamber and Limbaugh are about as far from "varied" as you can get. They are peas in the hard-right pod.

Keep up your good work in political satire.
