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.

Liberty, And Cruz For All



Tea-Bag Senator Ted Cruz  (R-Tex) announced earlier today that he's a candidate for President.  Good luck!  Cruz is offensive and unelectable.  As much as I'd love to to see the GOP nominate his crazy, wing-nut ass, even they are not that stupid.  But Teddy should provide months of amusement with his cartoonish arrogance, fear-mongering, obstruction and religious douchebaggery.

He made the announcement at Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA.  Liberty U. was founded by the late evangelical charlatan and Moral Majority founder, Jerry Falwell.

I bring this up because the University's administration required -- required! -- that the student body attend Cruz's announcement speech.  Liberty has over 13,000 resident students, and evidently Ted Cruz 101 is mandatory coursework for every single one of them.  Unbelievable!

Colleges, universities and institutions of higher learning simply do not endorse political candidates, ever.  Until now.  Liberty's Christian conservatives are shameless tools.  What if Hillary Clinton or Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders were to speak at Liberty?  Would the students be required to attend?  More likely, they'd be forbidden!

WWJVF?  Who would Jesus vote for?  Ted Cruz?  I seriously doubt it.
