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.

Odds And Ends. Mostly Odd.


Who's An Animal?
I mentioned in a post from last month that while in Florida, I'd noticed some obnoxious TV ads from someone named Carlos Beruff, a real estate developer with no elective experience who thinks he should be a U.S. Senator.  He's a belligerent, loudmouth dumbass, just like another real estate developer we know.  Beruff  recently made national news by expressing the following charming sentiment:  "This animal we call president -- because he's an animal, OK? -- has destroyed this country and dismantled the military."  I  think Carlos just destroyed and dismantled his own campaign hopes.


SCOTUS Punt.
The Supremes issued a "no ruling/no comment" punt on a case challenging the ACA's mandate that health insurance must cover contraceptives.  This means the requirement stands, which is good.  The suit was brought by "faith-based" groups who claimed that employee insurance including birth control violated their religious beliefs.  Puh-leeze!  This sort of lame-ass excuse is why I have no particular faith in anything faith-based.  WWJSABC?  What would Jesus say about birth control?  Absolutely nothing, that's what!

No Room To Lecture.
So, Donald Trump says he will attack Hillary for Bill's infidelities in the 1990's.  And what was the Great Trumpkin doing back then?  Groping young women, asking them to change into bikinis, offering public comments on their bodies, and talking to Howard Stern about his many conquests of "pieces of ass."  Donald holds the same moral high ground as Bill Cosby!







Rich Little and Frank Caliendo, Eat Your Hearts Out!

These three guys do great impressions of each other!

Not Mensa Material.
Another of those concealed-carry gun nuts illegally brought his handgun to a Kansas high school graduation.  He had it tucked in his sock.  It was uncomfortable so he adjusted it and the gun went off.  He shot himself in the foot, then the bullet ricocheted and hit a woman in the leg.  What the entire fuck?  Who brings a gun to graduation?  I know the NRA cold-dead-fingers crowd hates background checks, but c'mon!  Let's at least agree on mandatory brain scans for gun buyers, because I'm sure this dipshit's brain scan would've revealed nothing!
