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.

Random Thoughts


  • If you really believe that ISIS represents the Muslim religion, you must also believe the Ku Klux Klan represents Christianity.

  • If Congress actually intended for Obamacare's premium subsidies to be offered only through state-run insurance exchanges, why did they simultaneously establish the federal exchange?

  • Alabama is so adamant about denying equal rights to gay people, their state supreme Court has declared itself immune from federal law.  It's time to shrink our great nation to 49 states.  Alabama, get the hell out.  Buh-bye!

  • Benjamin Netanyahu comes to our country to lecture us about our own foreign policy?  How about "Fuck off!"?  No one should ever take advice from someone called Bibi.

  • Snowballs disprove global warming like helium balloons disprove gravity.

  • Ben Carson says being homosexual is a choice.  So it follows that being heterosexual is also a choice.  Funny, I don't recall making that choice.  Did I fill out a form at some point?

  • The blitz of fancy P.R. ads today from oil and gas frackers ("We are safe and good for you!") reminds me of cigarette ads from the 1950's.

  • According to some polls, over 60% of Americans want to send ground forces to Iraq and Syria to go to "war" against ISIS.  Let's re-institute the draft and send the eager 60% over there first.

  • "Washington D.C. just legalized marijuana.  Just what Congress needs -- a drug that makes you work less." -- Larry Wilmore
