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.

Another Good Reason To Kneel During The Anthem


Mike Pence attended a Colts-49ers game today in Indianapolis, but he left early, just after some 49ers took a knee (with hands over hearts) during the national anthem.  After departing, Pence tweeted:

"I left today's Colts game because @POTUS and I will not dignify any event that disrespects our soldiers, our Flag, or our National Anthem,"

Given that "protest kneeling" began last year with the 49ers and continues as something of a new tradition for that team, Pence could hardly have been surprised by today's anthem action.  So one might say it was just a bit of cynical stagecraft, a pre-planned walk out. 

Whatever.  The deceivers Pence and Dolt 45 will never admit the true reasons for these protests.  They'll continue to peddle the fake news/false narrative about disrespect of soldiers and flags.

But the good news is we've discovered a method to make Pence and SCROTUS to get the fuck out of here -- just take a knee in their presence and the assholes leave the building!
