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.

Lindsey Graham. Really?


Normally, he's just a semi-sensate flailing appendage attached to Sen. John McCain.  But now Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) believes himself to be presidential material.  He may be the only one.

The fear-mongering chicken-hawk announced his candidacy by claiming that he's a foreign policy expert and saying that "radical Islam is trying to kill us" and "the world is falling apart."  He vowed to send 10,000 troops back into Iraq and wants to scuttle any deal with Iran.  He said if you don't like it, he'll "send a drone and kill you."

And Graham is the guy some hard-ass South Carolina Tea Baggers thought was a soft, wimpy RINO.  I guess he's gonna show them.  Yeah.

That shit may play in Aiken, SC, but not too many other places.  Lindsey Graham has comedic value, a history of belligerent craziness, and no chance of becoming president.

 We're now up to 9 official GOP candidates.  Soon to be 15, 16, 19, or more.  Good luck with that.
