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.

"Pro-Life" Warmth


Oh Donald, you did it again!  This time, when you opened that ridiculous-looking mouth of yours, you managed to outrage everyone on both sides of the barricade!  Have you finally gone too far?

In a sit-down with MSNBC's Chris Matthews, Donald Trump said all abortions must be banned, even if it means some women might "go to illegal places" for the procedure, and that women who obtain abortions must be punished.

No, wait, the abortion doctors must be punished.

Oh hell, just punish everybody!  (Except for the sperm-donor men.  Trump sees no need to punish men.)

No matter what they say, on just about any issue, conservatives are big on punishment:  To hell with cause and effect.  Just give us our pound of flesh.

Example:  Speaking against Planned Parenthood last summer in Cincinnati, anti-abortion attorney Thomas Condit (while being filmed by convicted abortion clinic bomber Michael Bray) said, "We need an American version of the Nuremburg trials for abortion doctors."  Then Bray shouted, "Yeah!  Hang 'em!  They will burn!"  To which Condit replied, "Hang 'em by their necks!"

Can't you just feel the warmth?  If that's not a pro-life vibe, I don't know what is!
