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.

John Oliver Nails It On Net Neutrality


From HBO's Last Week Tonight.  John Oliver's explanation of net neutrality is bust-a-gut funny and absolutely true.  An instant classic!  At 13 minutes, the video runs a little long, but let's face it -- we've all wasted 13 minutes here and there on things which are less important.  Unless your name is Verizon, you will not regret watching.

Oliver ends with an appeal to all of us to go to the FCC's website and file a public comment on this issue, saying:

"I would like to address all the internet commenters out there directly:    Good evening, monsters.  For once in your life, we need you to focus your indiscriminate rage in a useful direction."




I recently filed my comment with the FCC, and if you don't mind my asking, you should too, please.  There is still time.  Use this link:
