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.

Sore Loser, Sore Winner


When I got a gag gift for Christmas, I installed it in my bathroom and took a photo of it.  Here it is:

 I shared it on my Facebook page and got the expected likes and a few comments.  One of the comments was from an old acquaintance (and misguided Trump voter) who suggested I was a "sore loser" who should "give him a chance like Obama had."

 Give him a chance?  I suppose I have no choice, only to the extent there is no practical way to prevent him from being sworn into office in a couple weeks.  That's about all the "chance" Republicans gave to Obama as they dedicated themselves to eight solid years of monolithic opposition and obstruction.

But I will not give him a chance to harm the country by reversing fifty years of progress with his half-baked brain farts and midnight tweets.  I will not sit in silent acquiescence as McConnell and Ryan use him to implement their regressive agenda.  I will speak out, act out, write out, show up and do whatever I can to protest against the madness, and hopefully to stop it.  I may not succeed, but I have to try.

If my refusal to be "supportive" and to stop saying "mean" (true) things about Little Donnie Pixie Fingers makes me a "sore loser," so be it.  He is a dangerous accident, an unqualified, insecure, divisive charlatan with a short fuse and no filters.  If we are to survive the next four years without a Trump-induced catastrophe, a Cheeto-dusted flock of supportive sheep will be of no use.  Instead, it will take organized and informed sore-loser citizens holding conservatives to account and calling them out on every bit of their injustice, hypocrisy, corruption and greed.  

So I'm sorry, dear readers, if I'm something less than a gracious loser.  We're not talking about some little old football game here.

Meanwhile, the epidermally delicate Mango Man-Baby remains something less than gracious himself.  His twisted "Happy New Year" tweet shows him yet again as the childish, charmless egomaniac he truly is.  You might call him a sore winner.

Happy New Year to all, including to my many enemies and those who have fought me and lost so badly they just don't know what to do. Love!
