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.

This Is The John Kasich I've Come To Know


And hate.

John Kasich is staunchly anti-union and anti-public education.  Yesterday, at a New Hampshire GOP education "summit"/dog-and-pony-show, Kasich had this to say:

"If you're a terrible teacher, then you should be doing something else.  We have to communicate that constantly."  (Constantly?  Well, OK, but is there a national epidemic of terrible teachers?  No?  Then shut the fuck up.)

"I'll tell you what unions do.  There's constant negative comment, 'They're going to take your benefits, they're going to take your pay.'"  (This is, of course, precisely what Kasich tried to do to Ohio teachers with his failed union-busting Senate Bill 5.)

"I would abolish all teachers lounges, where they sit together and worry about 'Woe is us.'"
And with that, Kasich gave teachers everywhere something to really worry about -- him as president.

That this douchebag could be elected and then reelected as Ohio governor and now has presidential aspirations is a testament to the general stupidity and forgetfulness of the average voter.

'Murica.
