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.

Salman Rushdie On Religious Bigotry


"A classic trope of the religious bigots is while they are denying people their rights, they claim that their rights are being denied.  While they are persucuting people, they claim to be persecuted.  While they are behaving colossally offensively, they claim to be the offended party.  It's upside down."
