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.

Tobacco: It's Kinda Like U2


Americans are smoking far less than in decades past, but the tobacco industry is somehow still as profitable as ever.

"It's an aging product that's decreasing in popularity and yet it just can't stop making money.  It's basically the cultural equivalent of U2."
