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.

One Little Murder And Look What Happens


A good old friend is a moderate, open-minded guy with some wacked-out, wing-nut friends and family.  (Not alone in that regard, is he?)  Recently, a couple of them saw fit to share a gloriously batshit conspiracy-theory ghost story on social media.  Here's the link, and caution -- a little goes a long way:

http://endingthefed.com/scalia-murder-cover-up-begins-to-unravel-intelligence-officers-and-high-ranking-police-publicly-question-his-untimely-death.html

Yep, and if you believe that, you are effin' nuts!
Yes indeed, Justice Antonin Scalia was murdered, Obama did it, he's covering it up, and the "Mainstream Liberal Media is conducting a massive psychological operation on the American people."  And just in case you don't believe that, the site has a link to the Alex Jones website.  So you know it's true.  (Alex Jones is disgusting-crazy to the max.  Check him out sometime.)

Just look at the horrible consequences of the obvious murder of Scalia.  Today the 8-member Supreme Court ruled 5-3 that a Texas anti-abortion TRAP law* was an obviously illegal, unconstitutional POS that had nothing to do with women's health and safety and everything to do with making abortion damn near impossible.

If only Scalia hadn't been assassinated by Obama, it would have been a different story.  No, wait -- it would've been the same decision, just 5-4.

Never mind.

*TRAP = Targeted Regulation of Abortion Providers.  In red states, it's a popular ALEC-generated legislative idea to designed to close facilities and make abortion access extremely difficult.  TRAP laws mandate that abortion facilities have hospital-admitting privileges, surgical capabilities, and other unnecessary hurdles not required of any other out-patient facility.  There are 23 states that have adopted TRAP laws, including Ohio.  Today the Notorious RBG (Ruth Bader Ginsburg) gave notice to those states that their who-do-you-think-you're-fucking-fooling laws will not stand.
