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.

Gas Is Too Damn Expensive -- Let's Invade Libya!



A gallon of gas will set you back $3.50 or so right now, and it will likely go higher still. Ouchie! The refineries and big oil interests blame it on "uncertainty" regarding the unrest in Libya. This is code for "Here's a great profiteering opportunity served up to us on a silver platter!"

All the world is properly concerned about Libya, but the Obama administration has been test-rattling a sabre or two and talking about "no-fly" zones and that old stand-by about "all options are on the table".

No, Barack, no!! I cannot believe we would seriously consider stomping around in yet another strip o' sand and sacrifice more American lives just so we can try to have gas at $3 a gallon instead of $4. That would be fucking insane!
