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.

John J. Gilligan


The former Ohio Governor and U.S. Representative John J. Gilligan died yesterday at age 92.  He was a liberal lion.  Of all the comments marking his passing, my favorite is:

"He comforted the afflicted, and afflicted the comfortable."

Not a bad epitaph!
