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 Science Pope (Well, Mostly)


I'm not religious, but this guy Francis is about the coolest, smartest Pope you can imagine.  He's so good, he pisses off a lot of Catholics, including some GOP presidential wanna-be's.

Pope Francis has stated unequivocally that climate change is man-made, and in tomorrow's Papal Encyclical, he will say it again and challenge world leaders to do something about it -- like now!  Unfortunately, the Pope will not acknowledge the role of over-population in climate change (and in virtually all the planet's problems).  That's very Catholic of you, Frankie, but please do a bit more research on this, OK?

Even so, the Pope has blinded some dim-witted Republican Catholics with science!

"Derp!"
First, Rick Santorum said that the Pope should "leave science to the scientists."   Pope Francis has a chemistry degree.  Santorum has a degree in dumbfuckery.  Icky Ricky can say whatever he likes, because no one is ever listening to him.

Joke! 2016
Then Prince John Ellis Bush, who has a bit more wheelbase than Santorum, thought he'd try to dis the Pope too.  Quoth the Jebster, "I don't get my economic policy from my pope.  I'd like to see what he says [about] climate change and how that relates to broader, deeper issues."

Jeb's clear implication is that economic concerns are always more important -- broader and deeper -- than those petty little environmental concerns.

Jeb is B.S., a bad joke.

Enough willful ignorance.  Go science!  Go Frankie!  School those slow learners!  Buster hears that in tomorrow's little chat, the Pope will endorse the Tyson-Nye 2016 ticket.
