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.

The Cap Works; Hayward Doesn't


At long last, BP succeeded in capping its blown out oil rig in the Gulf. Hooray! It had been about three months and a bajillion barrels of crude puking out into the ocean. The cap is a temporary fix. Work continues on the permanent fix of a relief well. Should be good to go fairly soon.

Speaking of going, Tony Hayward is now the former CEO of BP. Reportedly, the PR-challenged Hayward will be reassigned to BP of Russia. Seriously. BP officials maintain that this is an important job and a plum assignment for Tony, but I'm not buyin' it. One minute, you're in London running one of the largest corporations in the world, and the next you're transferred to fucking Siberia! You have your life back, Tony. It's just frozen.
