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.

Bush Family Economic Policy: Get To Work, You Lazy Poor People!


The special insight on work and success that comes only from a sheltered, privileged, prep school, Ivy League, multi-millionaire upbringing:


Dubya, circa 2004:
"You work three jobs?  Uniquely American, isn't it?  I mean, that is fantastic you're doing that!" 
-- to a divorced mother of three 


Jeb!, 2015:
"Workforce participation has to rise.  People need to work longer hours, and through their productivity, gain more income for their families."
-- his solution to what he says is our economic "rut"
