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.

The Romney Plan For The Middle Class: Today You Work For Me, For Free

The Glove has a new campaign ad touting the wonders of coal and attacking Obama's supposed "war" on it.  It was filmed during an August event at a Beallsville, Ohio coal mine.

Just oozing folksiness in his checkered shirt, dad jeans and hair gel, Good Ol' Boy Mitt stands in front of a bunch of raggedy miners -- who were forced by their employer, Murray Energy, to participate in this farce.  The company closed the mine for the taping and none of the workers received their pay for that day.



As a Murray Energy official explained, "Attendance was mandatory, but no one was forced to attend."
