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.

Whole Paycheck


Whole Foods, home of artisanal tofu and $35 per pound Chilean sea bass, is feeling some competitive pressure on its ridiculously high-priced items.  The grocery chain has announced it will launch a spin-off with lower cost organic products.

They're targeting the younger hipster demographic -- those who really want to impress their friends by buying vegan cane sugar or vanilla-almond flax milk, but just can't afford the $112.98 price tag.

No name has been chosen yet for the new stores, but leading contenders are "Partial Foods" and "Half Paycheck."
