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.

Skin So Thin Their Organs Will Fall Out


Oh no!  Our poor dear sensitive conservative darlings are so shocked and offended by a couple cartoons they don't whether to shit or wind their watches.  They've convinced themselves the cartoons are mocking and denigrating the victims of Hurrican Harvey, and they've got themselves worked up into a holy uproar about it.  Once again, they've missed the point.



This cartoon appeared on the Politico website.  Does it mock redneck rebel secessionist T-bag religious right-tards who love to bash the government until they need it?  YES!  You betcha!  Does it mock hurricane victims or the Coast Guard?  NO!  It uses the latter to mock the former.  (Politico caved and deleted the cartoon.  Wimps!)



This is the cover of the current issue of Charlie Hebdo, the French satirical magazine.  It says, "God exists!  He drowned the neo-Nazis of Texas."  Does it mock the Nazis and white supremacists in Texas?  YES!  Does it mock the victims?  NO!  At least not those who aren't Nazis.

Cartoons, people!


Comedy pushes the envelope, and Nazis and anti-government morons are certainly fair game.  I like it.  If you don't like it, if it's not to your taste, if you don't think it's funny, too bad.  Maybe you'll like the next one.  Probably not.

Some of these delicate righty-flakes have skin so thin I swear their organs are gonna fall out!
