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.

I Am More Qualified


And more objective, too.  My email to Sen. Rob Portman on the nomination -- approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee -- of right-wing crank Brett Talley to be a federal judge in Alabama.
__________________________________________

Senator Portman,

The appointment of Brett Talley to the federal judiciary is patronage, partisanship and judicial packing at its very worst.  He's just three years a lawyer, has never tried a case, has a "not qualified" rating from the ABA, and conveniently forgot that his wife is a White House lawyer.  And the fake president wants to reward him with a lifetime appointment to the federal bench?

How about no?  How about hell no?  How about no friggin' way?

Even you, Rob, can muster the speck of integrity necessary for a "no" vote.  Can't you?

I'll be watching your vote.
