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.

Everything Is Against My Religion!

Indiana Gov. Mike Pence (R) has just signed the "Religious Freedom Restoration Act."  This euphemistic bullshit law does not say exactly where Indiana's religious freedom went, but now it's back, it's restored!  Big-time.

The law provides that any corporation or individual can cite "religious beliefs" as a legal defense against all manner of blatant prejudice, bias and discriminatory practices.

Indiana is bracing for a huge increase in population as bigots from all over flock to the Hoosier state, anxious to celebrate their rights more fully.  Early polling in the state shows the following are the most frequently mentioned things that are "against my religion": 
  • Paying taxes
  • Black people
  • Mexicans
  • Asians
  • Jews
  • Muslims
  • People wearing funny clothes
  • Gays
  • Lesbians
  • Feminists
  • Barack Obama
  • Vaccinations
  • Math
  • Imported beer 
  • Broccoli
As you can see, this is going to be a very handy law indeed for Indiana residents.  They can now do anything they want to do, and chalk it all up to red-white-and-blue Religious Freedom!  This could be an even better excuse than the "Best Excuse Ever."  (Link below.)
