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 Wouldn't Walk Across The Street


Lately, I've noticed a TV commercial for that shitty fast-food "Mexican" restaurant, Taco Bell. In this particular spot, the voice-over tells us about a young man who had an incredible craving for their latest offering, but the guy lived 950 miles from the closest Taco Bell. So he supposedly got 3 or 4 friends together and they happily drove the 950 miles just for a crappy, mystery-meat taco.

Time out! Forget all the other improbabilities -- in today's world, where in the hell would you live to be 950 miles from a Taco Bell? Oh. Yeah. Mexico.
