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.

15 Minutes? His Was Up Years Ago


Not Joe.  Not a plumber.
His name is not really Joe, and he's not really a plumber.  He caused a brief stir as an audience plant way back in the 2008 McCain campaign.  Since then, he's been a failed candidate for public office and a fringe right-wing agitator.

He's Sam Wurzelbacher, a.k.a. Joe the Plumber.  For some unknown reason, he recently crawled out from under his rock to submit an open letter to the grieving families of the Santa Barbara shooter.  He wanted them to know that "their dead kids don't trump my constitutional rights" to possess and carry guns.

Nice choice of words, asshole!  Back under your rock, Sam/Joe/whoever you are.
