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.

Who Do You Love?


On Sunday's Meet The Press, V.P. Joe Biden came down firmly in favor of allowing gay marriage, saying he was completely comfortable with it and that, as he saw it, the non-issue simply boiled down to, "Who do you love?"

Despite numerous surveys finding that a large majority of Americans support Biden's position, President Obama is trying to tip-toe around it by saying he's pretty much for it (you know he is), but wants to leave it to the states. Why? Don't wanna alienate some fence-sitting, redneck "independent"? That's pretty weak, Cuz.

Speaking of rednecks, today in North Carolina, they're voting to amend their state constitution to prohibit gay marriage. They already banned it by statute, and now they want to carve it in stone. What are they so afraid of?

Take it away, Bo Diddley . . .
