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.

Trump's Afghanistan Rationale


According to reports, military advisers showed Don Frito Corleone an old photo which helped to persuade the fake president to go hawk-ish and "win" whatever the hell it is we're doing in Afghanistan.

This was the photo, from 1972, showing women in Kabul openly wearing miniskirts.

"Those are some gorgeous women, that much I can tell you," said Trump.  "I could grab 'em by the pussy, believe me!"









The military brass contrasted the old photo by showing him this current image* of two Afghan women, telling him it portrayed "the most beautiful woman in Kabul, accompanied by her ugly sister."  

"That's horrible!" Trump roared.  "Look at that!  That's why we've gotta win this thing -- you can't tell which pussy to grab!"

"Send in more troops!"
