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.

During the Republican convention, singer Clay Aiken tweeted:

"Playing drinking game with my brother now. We drink every time we see a black person on screen at the RNC convention. #soberasamormon."

Which I think is pretty damn funny. But some conservatives in the Twitter-verse slammed his tweet as "rascist" and called his hashtag Mormon-bashing.

I still say it was funny, and those who don't see it that way need a sense-of-humor transplant (a condition common among Republicans).
