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.

God Loves You, And He's Broke


Yes, the good Lord is all-knowing, all-seeing, all-powerful, omnipresent and omnipotent, but somehow he's just not very good with money. No matter how many bajillions of dollars are contributed to his various churches, and despite tax-exempt status, they always need a little more!

The latest to come up a little short is the well-known Crystal Cathedral, founded by California televangelist Robert Schuller. The church filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy today, citing large drops in memberships and donations. The business of saving souls ain't what it used to be.
