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.

The Party Of "Limited" Government


It happens about once a year, and it just happened again.  The Ohio House of Representatives, led by a gang of Republican crazies, passed HB 69.  It's yet another of their draconian "heartbeat" bills prohibiting abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detectable, effectively banning most procedures.  The rule is ridiculously restrictive, clearly unconstitutional, won't pass the Ohio Senate, and will never stand a chance of ever actually being signed into law, even by Gov. Kay-suck.

But guaranteed failure doesn't bother the GOP's gyno-tician wing.  This is their one issue, the only thing they really care about, and so they keep bringing it up over and over again, despite the futility.  They're wasting everyone's time and resources, and they do not give a shit.  They are too busy being superior beings and evangelical crusaders, praying for the souls of the "unborn."  They disgust me.


I'm with Sarah Silverman, who said,

"I'm praying for the billions of teeny tiny Republicans that die every single year in hookers' assholes."

"Sure, some Democrats have butt sex with prostitutes, but they're not the one trying to take away my rights."
