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.

My Letter To the Columbus Dispatch


TO: letters@dispatch.com
SUBJECT: Heritage Foundation columns on health care

For many days in a row, you've seen fit to publish a series of columns on health care reform written by various members of the deeply conservative Heritage Foundation. And we get it, OK? They don't like the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, have nothing good to say about it, and would like to repeal it. Considering the source, not exactly a surprise.

I trust that, in the interests of fairness, you will give equal time and space to some of the many authors who find value and benefit in health care reform and have some positive commentary. Or has the Dispatch given up even the slightest pretense of objectivity?
