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.

Gyno-ticians?


Wachtmann & Hagan announce their unconstitutional bill

Ohio State reps Lynn Wachtmann (R-Napoleon) and Christina Hagan (R-Canton) are what you might call "gyno-ticians" -- amateur gynecologists posing as politicians.

Like zombies, Wachtmann and Hagan just won't go away.  They've introduced yet another anti-abortion "Heartbeat" bill which would severely shorten the time frame in which a woman could end an unwanted pregnancy.  Their previous attempts to pass such bills have failed, but they seem undeterred.

"I forget -- are you #17 or #18?  Who the hell are you?"
This pair of narrow-minded zealots kicked off their latest foray into writing unconstitutional law by having Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar (TLC's 19 Kids & Counting) appear beside them as they announced the reintroduction of their hateful bill.  The Duggars are not only extremely prolific, they're also clinically insane.  When you believe they're not, when you believe that "reality" TV crazoids add credibility to your war on women's choice, you're probably insane as well.

One of the few good things retired Ohio Senate President Tom Niehaus did was prevent these nut-job anti-abortion bills from ever getting to the Senate floor, even though the Ohio Senate was packed with his fellow Republicans.  Perhaps current Senate President Keith Faber (R-Celina) will follow Niehaus's lead in this regard.

One can only hope.  Faber's email is Keith@KeithFaber.org.  Send him an email and tell him what you think.
