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.

Donald Ignores Batman, Superman, the U.S. Government, and Frank Zappa


Let's review.  Friday and Saturday, the KKK and the Nazis showed up in Charlottesville wearing MAGA caps, bent on causing trouble.  As you know, the KKK wants to eradicate black people, i.e. kill off an entire race, and the Nazis want to exterminate Jews, i.e. wipe out an entire religion.

And it was two full days -- and way too little, too late -- before our titular leader, Ill Douche, could finally bring himself to renounce these worst-of-the-worst arse-wipes gathered in his name.  (Didn't want to insult his base.)  And again, someone else had to write the words for him and put them on the teleprompter so he'd know what to say.

For damn near anyone, repudiating Nazis and the Klan is a no-brainer, no script needed, the ultimate softball on a tee.  But until he was literally forced, our Cinnamon Hitler didn't just miss the ball, he didn't even try to swing.
