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.

So Much Money, It Doesn't Matter -- And It Didn't Matter

Karl Rove, the Koch brothers, Sheldon Adelson, Foster Friesse, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and who knows how many undisclosed corporate "dark money" sources -- the ultra-rich righties spent very large, larger than any prior election, upwards of $6 billion according to some estimates.  Obviously, money was no object to these forces, and it bought them some of the most sophomoric, cynical, dishonest ads ever aired, and all the dirty tricks and horseshit they could think of.   

And ultimately, it didn't work, it didn't matter -- which is both hilarious and fitting.  Serves 'em right.  Flush it, fellas!  Hah!

Hope they got a goddam receipt!


Corporations are NOT people.  Money is NOT speech.
