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.

Judge John Hodgman Rules


"Kitty" writes:
My husband got his driver's license renewed, but refused to be an organ donor because he doesn't want to take the chance that Dick Cheney might get his heart.  Now it's time for me to renew my license.  What's your call, Judge?

Judge John Hodgman rules:
This is a question of balance between principle and reality.  And the reality is, if Dick Cheney wanted your heart, it would be in his hand right now.  But that is much less likely than it going to some otherwise needy non-Cheney.  Or was, until I published this letter.  In any case, you and your husband should be less selfish and sign the card.
