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.

Fire Nate Beeler


Remember when the Columbus Dispatch fired their highly-regarded and nationally syndicated editorial cartoonist Jeff Stahler for "plagiarizing" a cartoon which had appeared elsewhere?  The moderate Stahler was replaced by the little-known Nate Beeler, a good artist who usually takes a more conservative viewpoint (which pleases the Dispatch's editorial board).

Well, it seems young Nate is doing the same thing.  It looks to me like he's "borrowed" the concept of today's cartoon from a recent internet meme.  Two things:

1.  It appears that Charlie Manson is a Michelle Bachmann supporter, which is completely hilarious.

2.  In the name of consistency, the Dispatch should fire Nate Beeler.
