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.

Santorum For President In 2016? Yes!


Surprising no one, yesterday Rick Santorum dropped out of the GOP presidential primary race. Yes, he has an unfortunate and unwell little daughter, but if she was his foremost concern, he would never have entered the primary contest to begin with.

No, the real reason was that he had no chance against the Romney money machine and he didn't want to endure an embarassing defeat in his home state in a couple weeks. He wants to protect his image. Icky Ricky sees himself as an influential mover and shaker in the Republican party, and believes he could be the presidential nominee in 2016. He makes frequent reference to Ronald Reagan falling short in 1976, but coming back strong four years later.

Santorum as the 2016 GOP nominee? A great idea -- I love it! First of all, it would mean that My Cousin Barry had defeated The Glove in 2012. And secondly, it would give Icky Ricky four years on Fox News to add to his track record of Conservative Christian dumbfuckery. By then, he ought to have said enough batshit crazy stuff to guarantee a Democratic landslide.

So, yeah, I'm all in favor of Santorum in 2016.
