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.

Hey, D.C.! Hire This Woman Now!


This viral image, taken by a White House photographer, shows D.C.-area cyclist Juli Briskman instinctively flipping the bird to the fake president as his motorcade passed by.  Ms. Briskman was exercising her First Amendment rights and expressing the majority view about Frito Corleone.

She did not originally realize she'd been photographed.  When she began to see herself all over the place, she used the photo as her Facebook profile picture.  The 50 year-old mom also went to her employer, government IT contractor Akima LLC, to explain the situation.

She was promptly fired.

To hell with Akima, and hooray for Juli!  She's got the right stuff.  Some D.C. company better hire her quickly, or we just might have to elect her as our next president.
