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.

"Bah! Humbug! Screw Your Kids! Send Your Gifts To Me!"


Remember Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker?

Some say he harbors Presidential ambitions.  He's held up as poster-boy for a supposed warmer-and-fuzzier breed of Republican.  No doubt he's an ambitious little shit, but don't you believe that "kinder, gentler" junk for a second.

Walker is still the same brown-nose Big Business tool who rammed through a law making public-sector collective bargaining illegal in Wisconsin.  He swore it was the only way to balance the budget, then got phone-punk'd by a David Koch imitator who got him to admit it was all about "crushing those unions".  After that, Walker barely survived a recall vote.

Yeah, that Scott Walker.

Last week, he showed his true colors in a different way.  In a Black Friday email promotion, Walker asked parents to make contributions to his re-election campaign instead of buying Christmas gifts for their children: 

"Instead of electronics or toys that will undoubtedly be outdated, broken or lost by the next Holiday Season, help give your children the gift of a Wisconsin that we can all be proud of.  It's a Black Friday Special that's better than any deal found in budget deficits."

So much for the re-invented GOP.  Meet the new breed, same as the old breed.
