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.

Tuesday With Barack



I went to Capital University today to hear President Obama speak. It was a classic collegiate atmosphere, befitting his main theme of the importance of higher education, and of keeping college costs affordable. In one of his better zingers, contrasting his priorities with Romney/Ryan, my cuz the Prez said something like, "They won't do anything to protect higher education and give our kids a shot at becoming successful. All they wanna do is protect those who already are."

For a few hours, I hung out with over 3000 good people of every flavor. Obama spoke eloquently and powerfully, as he always does. It was a nice day, and being there made me feel good. Not bad for a Tuesday.
