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.

"We're Not Anti-Women, We're Just Bro-Choice!"


(Get it? Not pro-choice, bro-choice.)

Hey, ladies! Listen up!

Republicans in the Ohio House passed HB 298, which would effectively defund Planned Parenthood in the state. Ohio would still receive the federal funds in question, but Planned Parenthood would now be dead last on the list of recipients. If any money would be left, they'd get it. None would be left.

How about all the states that have tried to pass "personhood" legislation in the past year? You know, the goofy idea that human beings legally exist from the moment of conception? Kinda goes like this: Release the swimmers! A woman is inseminated, and off go the little sperms. Not a person, not a person, no, wait for it . . . One lucky sperm penetrates the ovum, and -- ta-da! -- person!!

One-upping the personhood nonsense, Arizona has a new law, the “Women’s Health and Safety Act”, which designates the start of an unborn child’s life as the first day of the mother’s last menstrual period. Technically, that’s before the woman has even made the baby, but details are for liberal losers. If you are a menstruating woman in Arizona, you are always potentially pregnant. So, congratulations?!

Mitt Romney has decided that the best way to improve his standing with female voters is to rack up pro-life endorsements. National Right-to-Life and the Susan B. Anthony List just endorsed Romney, highlighting his pledge to defund Planned Parenthood and his commitment to select a pro-life vice president.

Don't forget that Rick Santorum and Rush Limbaugh say that contraceptives make you a promiscuous slut.

And everybody's favorite -- trans-vaginal ultrasound probes! This won't hurt . . . much.


(All brought to you by our gentlemen GOP legislators and candidates.)
