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.

No Gutter Too Deep, No Shot Too Cheap


Josh Mandel (R) is currently Ohio Treasurer and is once again running for U.S. Senate, trying to unseat incumbent Sherrod Brown.  In late July, the twerpy Mandel tweeted this:

"I stand with Mike Cernovich and Jack Posobiec."  Mandel was reacting to the Anti-Defamation League listing the two as "alt-right white supremacists, racists, and anti-Semites."  (Mandel is Jewish.)

Mike Cernovich
Jack Posobiec
Cernovich and Posobiec are conspiracy theorists and right-wing media provocateurs.  Cernovich is a co-host on Alex Jones' InfoWars.  He has referred to the American mainstream media as "ISIS" and claimed that the ADL was "inciting terrorism and trying to get people they disagreed with murdered."  He has said "date rape does not exist."  Posobiec is a frequent guest on InfoWars, worked for the wing-nut Citizens for Trump election committee and organized the alt-right's inaugural "DeploraBall" event.  Both heavily promoted the totally false Pizzagate hoax, which claimed that Hillary Clinton ran a child sex ring from a D.C. pizza shop.

These charmers are Josh's kind of people.

Yesterday, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reached its limit with Joshie the Wonderboy and published a scathing op-ed piece condemning all things Mandel.  It was a wonderful and well-deserved takedown of the slimy little shit.  You can read it all right here:
