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.

Post-Racial Cleveland


Ah, Fox News!  Even on the local level, they're so . . . wrong.

That awkward moment when you say "Jig-a-boo"
in front of your your black colleague.
Grown-ass adult anchorperson Kristi Kapel of Cleveland's Fox 8, for some unknown reason, had this to say about Lady Gaga's Sound of Music tribute at the Oscars:

"It's really hard to hear her voice with all the jig-a-boo music -- whatever you want to call it -- jig-a-boo!"

 Her black co-anchor Wayne Dawson forced a little chuckle and said, "She has a nice voice," while undoubtedly thinking to himself, "Stupid white woman!  Shut the fuck up!"
