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.

Big, Beautiful Wall of Bullshit


With nothing better to do than try to appease Ann Coulter, fake president Don El Paunch-o is back to doing what he does best -- lying about his "big, beautiful border wall," and calling Mexicans rapists.

The fear-mongering rape claims may poll well with fans of Russian-bot Twitter accounts, but it's utterly unsubstantiated bullshit.  Pendejo!  And his wall will never be built.  (Although his administration insists that repairing/rebuilding a section of existing wall "counts" as new Trump wall.)

Illegal border crossings are at a 46-year low, net immigration from Mexico is zero, and if you're worried about drugs, remember the law of supply and demand.  The U.S. generates the demand.  Change our drug laws, change the demand.

A border wall is a medieval response to modern conditions -- a stupid idea for stupid people.  What's next?  Catapults and flaming arrows?

Walls are ineffective.  Where there's a will, there's a way.  Climbing over them is an obvious approach.  Going around them or under them are also workable options.  I'm reminded of the old Southern Cal football play, the sweep around one end or the other -- "Student Body Left," "Student Body Right."   The Mexicans could run "Ocean Left" or "Ocean Right."  And there's also the ever-popular "El Chapo Tunnel-rooskie" play.



























































Until his dream-wall is completed (which will be never), Trumpolini says he'll call out the National Guard and will station 2000 to 4000 Guardsmen along the border.  The U.S.-Mexican border is approximately 2000 miles long.  And every half-mile to mile, Cheeto Benito will place one solitary weekend warrior, and let him fry in the sun forever.  Yeah, that'll work!   He-he.



Mexico Will Pay For This

MEXICO CITY (The Borowitz Report)—Hoping to resolve the seemingly intractable conflict over immigration, Mexico surprised the world on Thursday by agreeing to pay for Donald J. Trump’s psychiatric care.

While some Mexican taxpayers argued that a full course of psychiatric treatment could prove more costly than a border wall, President Peña Nieto warned against skimping on such a necessary expense.

“When the safety and security of the world is at stake, eight hundred dollars an hour is a bargain,” he said, but added that Mexico would try to find a therapist who takes insurance.
