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.

If You Are Age 50 Or Older . . .

(Sent by a faithful reader.  Thank you, faithful reader!)



-OFFICIAL NOTICE-

Due to the current financial situation caused by the slowdown in the economy, Congress has decided to implement a scheme to put workers of 50 years of age and older on early, mandatory retirement, thus creating jobs and reducing unemployment.

This scheme will be known as
RAPE (Retire Aged People Early).

Persons selected to be
RAPED can apply to Congress to be considered for the SHAFT program (Special Help After Forced Termination).

Persons who have been
RAPED and SHAFTED will be reviewed under the SCREW program (System Covering Retired-Early Workers).

A person may be
RAPED once, SHAFTED twice and SCREWED as many times as Congress deems appropriate.

Persons who have been
RAPED could get AIDS (Additional Income for Dependants & Spouse) or HERPES (Half Earnings for Retired Personnel Early Severance).

Obviously persons who have
AIDS or HERPES will not be SHAFTED or SCREWED any further by Congress.

Persons who are not
RAPED and are staying on will receive as much SHIT (Special High Intensity Training) as possible. Congress has always prided themselves on the amount of SHIT they give our citizens.

Should you feel that you do not receive enough
SHIT, please bring this to the attention of your Congressman, who has been trained to give you all the SHIT you can handle.

Sincerely,
The Committee for Economic Value of Individual Lives (
E.V.I.L.)
PS - Due to recent budget cuts and the rising cost of electricity, gas and oil, as well as current market conditions, the Light at the End of the Tunnel has been turned off.
