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.

If You're Afraid Of Ebola, Don't Worry -- The GOP IS Here To Help


At a time like this, when all of humankind is on the brink of extinction due to a death virus found in West African anal leakage, it's critical that government has top-flight public health officials on the job to guide us through this medical crisis.  Thank god the Republican party is here to help:


The U.S. has had no Surgeon General for the past eleven months!  That's because the Senate Republicans refuse to confirm President Obama's highly qualified appointee.  No good reason -- just pure spite, just because.  And maybe because he believes gun violence is a public health problem.

"Let us cater your next
deadly virus event!"

Here in Ohio Gov. Kaysuck ousted a real doctor who was head of the Ohio Dept. of Health and replaced him with a Republican former state rep who's not a doctor and has no background in public health.  Our new ODH leader was working as a lobbyist and an "event planner."
