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.

Clear Channel Is Clearly Wrong!

Clear Channel Communications is a mass-media giant.  They own over 850 radio stations, scores of syndicated radio shows (including Limbaugh, Beck and other right-tards), more than 1500 transmission towers, and hundreds of thousands of billboards worldwide.



But they do not own a conscience, and they've never met a nickel they wouldn't grab.

Pictured is a billboard in Cleveland, Ohio.  It's far from the only one.  Plenty of identical billboards recently popped up in black and Hispanic neighborhoods across Ohio and Wisconsin.  An anonymous group is funding this slimey voter-suppression tactic, but in all cases the billboards delivering the thinly-veiled Jim Crow message are owned by Clear Channel.

Pretty sleazy, if you ask me. 

To send Clear Channel a clear message asking them to take down these billboards, just click the link.
