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.

Mandela's Place In History

[Suggested by a faithful reader.  Thank you, faithful reader!]
__________________________________________________

Tomorrow, many hundreds of world leaders and over 90 sitting heads of state (Obama, Merkel, Cameron, Castro, Karzai, et al) will descend upon Johannesburg to attend a day-long memorial celebration of the life of Nelson Mandela, the late civil rights activist and former South African president.

Sources have confirmed that the revered humanitarian has thereby become the first politician in recorded history to actually be missed.
