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 I Missed At Trump-Con, Day 3


(More stranger-than-fiction weirdness that I didn't see, because I refuse to watch.)
______________________________________

It was Loser's Night at the GOP Convention in Cleveland.


Scott Walker spoke and made everyone remember why he never came near the nomination.  (Hilariously, Donald Trump tweeted his post-speech appreciation to @ScottWalker6, a New Orleans TV newsman.)

The disembodied head of Marco Rubio appeared via videotape.  Marco regurgitated Islamophobia and Benghazi BS.

Newt Gingrich told scary stories about Sharia law and predicted that Hillary Clinton's election will mean the end of America as we know it.  (At least he's got the election called correctly.)


And Ted Cruz did not endorse Trump.  He instead told everyone to "vote your conscience" (which assumes that conservatives have consciences, all evidence to the contrary).  Cruz was lustily booed!


V.P. nominee Mike Pence, a virtual unknown who apparently will run the country if King Donald is elected, introduced himself to the crowd and vowed to unite the party around the critical issues of gay-bashing, potty police, and the illegal suppression of a woman's right to an abortion.

Eric Trump, another son with long, greasy hair (someone should tell the Trumps that the Pat Riley-Exxon Valdez hairstyle is dead) took the podium and praised his father for turning the GOP debates "into must-see TV."

It's all just a televised beauty pageant to these dipshits, and Daddy Dearest is their Miss Universe.
