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.

Who Let Her In?



Did you notice who was in the very back of the U.S. House for last night's State of the Union address?  None other than Kim Davis, the county clerk who infamously refused to issue same-sex marriage licenses due to her "religious beliefs," a.k.a. her bigotry.

What in the hell was she doing there?  Who let her in?  

Turns out it was Tea Bag douchebag dipstick deluxe Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan, leader of the House's torch-and-pitchfork Freedom Caucus.  Jordan gave his ticket to the fundamentalist Christian group, the Family Research Council, who in turn gave it to Davis.

For this auspicious occasion, Kim got all dressed up in her best Kentucky hillbilly clashing patterns and sported her usual sister-wife hairdo.  Stay classy, Kim!

And we can't leave the SOTU topic without a quick tip of the hat to new House Speaker Paul Ryan.  He was not nearly as angry-looking (or drunk, or orange) as Boehner always was.  Ryan's face wore a small and steady smirk, but he did manage to smile a couple times.  Wow.
