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.

. . . And The Punchline Is: "South Carolina!"



Those fun folks in the Palmetto State apparently have no intention of relinquishing their "Goofiest State" title to the nutjobs in Arizona. In the Democratic primary race for U.S. Senate, South Carolina D's amused themselves by electing a complete unknown by the name of Alvin Greene, who'll now oppose incumbent Republican Jim DeMint in November. Greene is unemployed, has has legal issues, and has no money. The only explanation for his winning the primary was that his name appeared first on a long list of candidates. In his only public appearance so far, the stone-faced Greene exhibited a pretty good case of stage fright, and a tendency to wander off on a verbal tangent and never come back. His chances of defeating the ultra-conservative dipshit DeMint are less than zero.

But wouldn't it be just fan-fucking-tastic if somehow he did?
