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.

What's Gumming Up The Works? Surprise! It's Tea Bags.


As House Speaker, the Orange Boner finally got sick and tired of all the Tea Baggers' shit.  Surprise!  He quit.  And good riddance.

It was widely assumed his successor would be House Majority Leader and Boner buddy California Rep. Kevin McCarthy.  McCarthy said he wanted the job, but the Tea Baggers did not want him.  Surprise!  He withdrew.

So, thanks to those insane Tea Baggers, House Speaker is now a job that no one in the gerrymandered GOP really wants.  "Our brand is asshole, but this is too much even for us!"

Chaffetz:  "Scale?  What scale?"
Webster
The R's are left with Utah Rep. Jason Chaffetz, the graphically-challenged chair of the recent  Planned Parenthood attack "hearing," and Florida Rep. Daniel Webster, favorite of the wacko, far right Freedom Caucus.  This Daniel Webster is only slightly more energetic than the original Daniel Webster, who's been dead since 1852, and he's far less well-known.
The real Daniel Webster

Nice meltdown, GOP!  LMFAO!
