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.

Just Say NO!


My email to Rob Portman in advance of today's Senate vote on some version of the undead TrumpCare monster.

Subject:  Vote NO today on motion to proceed on healthcare

It's me again, Rob, your 62 year-old constituent with Stage 4 cancer being kept alive by Obamacare.

I'm tremendously disturbed to hear you say that whichever slap-dash version of ACA destruction Mitch puts forward today "doesn't matter" to you.  Are you nuts?  Of course it matters, because they're all awful, rotten, and opposed by the overwhelming majority of Americans.  But this doesn't matter to you and you'd like to debate any of those horrible options anyway?  Why?  There's nothing to debate.  They all suck and are undeserving of consideration.

What you should do is focus on the healthcare system already in place, and work to strengthen and improve it.

I'm also tremendously disturbed that you lack the spine to come out publicly and say so.

Be a man today, and do what's right.  Vote NO on any motion to proceed!
