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.

Jeb! On Higher Education


Jeb Bush had this to say the other day:

When a student shows up, universities ought to say , "Hey, that psych major deal, that philosophy major thing, that's great, it's important to have liberal arts . . . but realize, you're going to be working at Chick-fil-A."

I'm pretty sure that psychology is a science "deal," not liberal arts.  And I'm totally sure that this old world needs all the psychology majors, liberal arts majors, business majors, math majors, music majors and philosophy majors it can get.  And we need less dim-witted, over-privileged, silver-spoon, trust fund families buying political office, power and influence.

Your mother was right, Jeb.  We've had enough Bushes in the White House.

Slinging sandwiches at Chick-fil-A would be an eye-opening, character-building experience for you, Jeb.  I think you need it.  They are currently accepting applications.
