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.

Short Attention Span Theatre


Voters of all political persuasions can often be forgetful, even of fairly recent events and facts.  No one has profited more from our short attention spans than the GOP.  They rely on it, and are seldom let down.

In a classic local example, a headline in today's Columbus Dispatch says that the "SB 5 Battle Isn't Hurting Gov. Kasich".  The article touches on two Ohioans who voted against Kasich's union-busting Senate Bill 5 in a referendum three years ago.  Both people are from union households, and their votes helped kill SB 5.

And who are both of them voting for on November 4th?  John Kasich!

Are you fucking kidding me?  How do you get through to people like that?  How do you overcome that special kind of stupid?

I got nuthin.'  Help!
