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.

"Look! We're In Front Of A Big Plane!"



Are you a glutton for punishment?  If you are, you may have watched Wednesday's eleven-way GOP "debate."  It was a three-hour marathon.  Ringling Brothers holds shorter circuses.  It's way too early, and there's no such thing as an eleven-person debate, so I skipped it.  But I hear it was amusing.


"Hey, cool!  We're all standing by Saint Ronnie's plane!"

Trump and Dr. Ben Carson exchanged a high-five over some anti-vaccine nonsense.

Trump and Carly Fiorina had a one-on-one about which of the two had the worse business record -- Who's had more bankruptcies?  More layoffs?  More companies tanked?  You have!  No, you have!

None of them like Trump's wall-building immigration "plan," and none of them have anything better to offer.  Carson said he'd allow a few Mexicans to enter the U.S. to pick tomatoes.

Jeb said that his brother Dubya "kept us safe."  (Puh-leeze!)

Rand Paul forthrightly asserted that the Iraq War was the worst idea ever.  (True dat!)

They all despise the multi-national Iran deal and vow to ignore it, undo it, bomb-bomb Iran, etc.

And they all stood there stupidly nodding while Fiorina spun a story about watching an undercover Planned Parenthood video showing an aborted fetus with heart beating and legs kicking, surrounded by evil doctors and nurses discussing how best to harvest its organs.

Just one problem.  It didn't happen.  There is no such video.  Planned Parenthood simply doesn't do that.  Carly Fiorina is telling a LIE -- a big, outrageous, hateful one!   In a smart and just country, this would have eliminated her from further consideration.  In 'Murica, they proclaimed her the debate "winner."


And one more thing.  Surely you've noticed the resemblance:
