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.

History Is Made Again


It's a day early, New Jersey, California and a few other states vote tomorrow, and it's not exactly a surprise, but the stat wonks have declared today that Hillary Clinton has already amassed enough votes to secure the Democratic nomination for president.

This is truly a big-ass deal -- she will be the first female presidential nominee in the history of the United States.  In itself, this is history-making.  It's huge, and it's about time.

The same thing happened eight years ago, when Barack Obama became the first black presidential nominee in U.S. history.  He was, of course, elected and reelected.  Historic!

I expect the same from Hilz.

We're getting good at this history-making stuff.  Let's not stop now!
