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.

Perfectly Sensible


Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback will sign legislation to allow anyone to carry a concealed firearm without any permit, license, or training of any sort.  Anyone.  No restrictions, no rules.  Nothing.  Have gun, will pack.

Said Brownback:  "Responsible gun ownership is a right inherent in our Constitution, and our belief here in Kansas is that someone who's able to obtain a gun by any means possible -- retail purchase, black market, theft, or just borrowing the pistol from your dad's sock drawer -- is obviously a responsible adult who can be trusted to walk around in public with that gun hidden in the waistband of his sweatpants.  There really can be no debate about this."

Brownback went on to say that anyone who can snag a set of car keys is obviously a responsible driver, anyone on the sidewalk with an open bottle of Jack Daniels is obviously a responsible drinker, and anyone who stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night is obviously a neurosurgeon.

Great job, Kansas!  In-friggin-credible!  Should I ever feel the need to drive from here to Colorado, I think I'll go by way of Saskatchewan.
