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.

Family Feud


Liz Cheney is Dick Cheney's daughter.  She's a former Fox News contributor with big political ambitions.  After living all her adult life in Virginia, Liz turned carpetbagger and moved back to Wyoming just a year ago so she could trade on her family name and run for the U.S. Senate.  Liz wants to oust the current Senator, fellow Republican Mike Enzi, because he's just not right-tard enough.


To demonstrate her hard-right chops, Liz is adamantly anti-gay marriage, which is noteworthy because her sister Mary Cheney is a lesbian who was legally married in Washington D.C.  Yesterday on "Fox News Sunday", Liz reiterated her opposition to same-sex marriage, and by extension, to her own sister.

Yes indeed, Liz, who needs family when you can have power instead?

Mary declared her sister to be "offensive" and "on the wrong side of history."  A colleague of Liz's said "Liz is a lot like Ted Cruz, only less charming."  (Ooh, that's a good one!)

Father Dick(head) had previously said he supported Mary without reservations.  Today, he tried to have it both ways, saying Liz "treats her sister with love and respect, but has always believed in traditional marriage."  That's slicing the old baloney pretty goddam thin, Dick.  Some people believe the earth is flat, but they're still wrong, aren't they?

It's all quite amusing.  Couldn't happen to a nicer family.

"Survey says:  . . .  'Liz Cheney!!!!' "
