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.

Maybe The Irish Should Rule The World


An old joke:

Q.  Why was whiskey invented?
A.  So the Irish wouldn't rule the world.

Nevertheless, Ireland rejected the U.K.'s foolish Brexit gambit and will remain a part of the E.U.  In a referendum earlier this year, Ireland overwhelmingly voted to legalize abortion, negating a total ban in effect since the 1860's.  And now comes word that a large majority of the Irish are in favor of restoring birthright citizenship, which would reverse a 2004 referendum eliminating it.

So, given what's happening here in Trumplandia and elsewhere, maybe the Irish should rule the world.  

Jameson all around!
