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.

Iowa Cattle Call


Crazy enough to believe he's sane.
It's not the malevolent Koch brothers annual big-money retreat.  That's going on this weekend in Palm Springs, and it's a champagne and Chateaubriand event for the right-wing elite.

No, it's Rep. Steve King's (R, IA) "Freedom Summit," a beer and lunch meat affair in Des Moines.  An inflammatory Tea-Bag bigot, King believes himself to be a party power broker, but his little confab is just a personal ego massage and a cattle call for wack-a-doodle conservative non-starters and attention addicts, including:

Ted Cruz, Scott Walker, Chris Christie, Rick Perry, Rick Santorum, Mike Huckabee, Ben Carson, Carly Fiorina, and bringing the nut-job bona fides, none other than Sarah Palin herself.

Moo.  Let the pandering begin.
