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.

U.N. To Don Frito & Capo Nikki: "Vaffanculo 128 Times!"


The United Nations voted overwhelmingly to condemn fake president Trump's idiotically divisive and destabilizing decision to recognize Jerusalem at the capital of Israel.

Don Frito Corleone says,
"Make 'em an offer they can't refuse."









The resolution surprised no one.  Yet Don Frito expects the world to kiss his ring.  When it didn't happen at the U.N., he went full mob boss and had Capo Nikki Haley issue a shake-down threat.  Her message, in essence:


"Today, we're takin' names.  Of course, we would never start a vendetta against other nations who don't pay up, but we got a long memory.  So if some day some of you guys wuz to get whacked, or your house wuz to burn down, it would be a shame, but we wouldn't know nuthin' about it."



Don Frito doesn't grasp that this isn't the corrupt realm of Manhattan real estate, and these aren't a bunch of plumbers and carpenters.  You can't intimidate the world.
