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.

Driving Conservatively


Not to be confused with driving defensively.

Here in Ohio, our state government is dominated by Republicans.  When not busying themselves with slashing revenue and services, trying to outlaw abortion, and fracking every square inch of the state, these stalwart conservatives spend the rest of their time speeding and running red lights.

They effectively banned remote traffic light cameras by requiring a uniformed police officer at each camera (kinda defeats the concept of remote, doesn't it?).  Now the state legislature's R's are now hot to trot for increasing the speed limit to 75 MPH on Ohio's highways.

The GOP may be hopelessly lost, but they're making great time and they won't stop for anything!
