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.

Circus Here, Circus There


Yesterday, FBI agent Peter Strzok endured endless hours of badgering from the House Judiciary and Oversight Committee about his 2016 texts.  The waste-of-time show trial was nothing more than an opportunity for Trey Gowdy, Louie Gohmert, Jim Jordan and other Repuglicans to give their best impressions of rude, ball-grabbing circus monkeys.  It was a Strzok Fest, and it was digusting.



I've said it before.  The FBI has 35,000 employees.  Some may love Trump, but you better believe a lot of them hate his orange guts.  Their opinions do not impact their ability to do their jobs.  To expect all government employees to apolitical, willfully ignorant robots is just absurd.  Strzok's texts were totally inconsequential.


Across the pond, the Baby Blimp granted an interview to the Murdoch-owned tabloid The Sun in which he trashed the PM's Brexit proposals, suggested the U.S. may pull out of all trade deals with England, made racist anti-immigrant comments, and insulted the mayor of London, Saddiq Khan.  Then at this morning's joint press conference with Theresa May, he took it all back (sort of) and called The Sun fake news.

What a diplomat!  What a charming guest!
WHAT.  AN.  ASSHOLE.

Tens of thousands protest Trump in London
