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.

NRA Ad Brings The Despicable!

Just awful!  Not only do they continue their post-Newtown tone-deaf PR blitz, now the NRA drags Sasha and Malia into their sewer

News flash!  The president's daughters -- any president's kids -- get all kinds of protection and security that ordinary children don't get.  The Secret Service takes them to the mall, for Chrissakes!  The president's girls are not necessarily "more important", but they are undeniably in a category all their own.



Today, Obama put forth some common sense measures to reduce the gun threat to public health and safety, and he has broad public support behind him.  Most of us know the answer to gun violence is not more guns -- that Old West town in Arizona was called "Tombstone" for a reason.

The NRA is running scared, finally.  Good!  They're desperate and are once again appealing to the irrational, paranoid and ugly segment among us.  This time, it isn't going to work.

Write your Congressman!
