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.

Damn! There Goes The Neighborhood


In a moment of impolitic personal honesty, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo recently declared that there was no place in New York for "extreme conservatives who are 'right-to-life', pro-assault weapon, or anti-gay."

Extreme conservative standard-bearer and foremost Fox News fearmonger Sean Hannity was so offended by this comment that he threatened to move out of the Empire State.  Although many New Yorkers were pleased at this prospect, nobody took it seriously.  After all, most of what comes out of Hannity's mouth cannot be believed.

But last Friday Hannity did indeed put his New York house on the market.  It can be yours for $3.6 million.  The question now becomes, where will he go?  

He can sure as hell stay out of my neighborhood!  But wouldn't it be delightful to send him to a town where he'd be totally out of place and really unhappy?  Here are three good possibilities:

City Hall in San Francisco, the "most liberal city
in America"















Jackson, Mississippi, the "blackest city in America"



Yellow Springs, Ohio, home of Antioch College, Dave Chappelle, and
aging hippies who cover the trees in colorful macrame























Places like that are guaranteed to piss off Sean of the Red (states), and that'd be a lot of fun.  But perhaps we should show a little empathy and send him to a place in "Hannity's America" where he'd fit right in, a place like Enid, Oklahoma.  He and the owner of Gary's Chicaros Bar & Grill could be real BFF's:
