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.

Word


"Refusing to invest [in the National Institutes of Health] is the budgetary equivalent of cutting off your feet to save money on shoes."
-- Sen. Elizabeth Warren









"I've never seen it like this.  Clearly the problem is within the Republican party.  If you make every issue uncompromisable, you cannot have laws."
-- Alan Greenspan





"The internet is the death of forgetting.  You can't reinvent yourself because it's always there.  You hit Google, and your cavalcade of misdeeds comes rolling back to the top of the page."
-- Alec Baldwin





"There are no close plays.  A man is always out or safe, or it is a ball or a strike, and the umpire, if he is a good man and knows his business, is always right.  For instance, I am always right."
-- Frank "Silk" O'Laughlin (1872-1918.  American League umpire, originator of umpires' hand signals)
