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.

Dispatch Headline Writers: "We Is Smart, Isn't Us?"


The Columbus Dispatch is well-known for its knee-jerk conservative editorial policy, it's frequently wrinkled and torn pages, blurry photos, and content so pathetically thin the daily editions are almost weightless -- the paper has so little mass the paperboy can't even throw it.

And now the local rag features grammatically-challenged headlines, such as today's example:

"How it all come together for LeBron and the Cavs."

Huh?  If I'm not mistaken, it should be either "How it all comes together . . . " or "How it all came together . . . "

The Dispatch sucks.  Yes it do.
