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.

Stuck On Stupid


The vast majority of Americans support real gun control legislation, are not in favor of deporting millions of non-citizens, and think that wife-beating and sexual abuse are simply unacceptable.

Yet the Republicans ignore us, ignore the facts and twiddle their thumbs.
  • They've been bribed by the NRA, and their fake president manages to yammer for 20  minutes about Parkland without once saying "gun."  
  • Senate Republicans are dragging their feet on protecting Dreamers and the DACA program, while their feckless leader's own anti-immigration "plan" garnered the least votes of any proposal.  
  • And after his his knee-jerk defense of the physical abuse of an ex-staffer, it took the Pussy-Grabber-In-Chief nine days before he could feebly proclaim that he's "opposed to domestic violence."  (Ooh, what a stalwart statement!)

On these issues and basically everything else, Republicans are stuck on stupid.  They kowtow to a select minority while they stubbornly refuse to represent us, their constituents.  They stick to their own stupid policy position no matter what may result from it (including the slaughter of school children).  They're just all kinds of wrong, and they'll never change.

So there's only one thing to be done with the GOP:  Vote them all out!  It starts now, this year, and will continue to 2020 and beyond.  These weenies are afraid of the NRA?  They ought to be afraid of us!
