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 Bundys Are Vanilla ISIS. Here's Who They Unwittingly Work For.


The federal government owns 47% of 11 western states.  Parts of this vast expanse belong to the National Parks system, but most of it is run by the Bureau of Land Management, and is leased out for hunting, ranching, drilling, mining, logging, etc.  Fees apply.

Some people don't like that.  But forget about the Bumbling Bundys and their heavily armed Band of Back-Country Bro's.  They're just small-time tools.  Here's who really wants to grab all that federal land for themselves.  (All are in favor of turning it all over to states, corporations and individuals):

Koch Industries, Exxon Mobil, the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), the Republican National Committee, the State of Utah, Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY).

Whadya suppose they want with all that land?
