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.

Less Than A Feather


Those of us of a certain age may recall when Doonesbury cartoonist Garry Trudeau always portrayed dim-bulb VP Dan Quayle as a feather -- just a clueless lightweight floating along.

The stable genius we have today is even less consequential (consensual?) than a feather.  Dolt 45 can't understand or even remember his own positions.  Probably because he has none.  All his positions are someone else's.

At a White House meeting with Congressional leaders on Tuesday, Sen. Dianne Feinstein asked him point-blank to do a clean DACA-only bill now, and save all his other anti-immigration shit for later.  Amazingly, he said, "Yeah, I'd like to do that."  Then one of his handlers, Rep. Kevin McCarthy, had to jump in to remind the fake president that was not what he'd like to do, that what he really meant to say was that he'd hold DACA hostage in exchange for an $18 billion wall -- at which point Trump basically said, "Oh. Yeah, I guess so."

Last night, someone at the White House issued a statement supporting renewal of the FISA Court Act, saying it was a top priority.  But early this morning, Trump tweeted his displeasure with "the controversial FISA Act . . . used to abuse my campaign."  An unseen handler obviously ran in to clean up the mess and 45 minutes later, Donnie Dipstick was in love with FISA, tweeting "We need it. Get smart!"

Unfortunately, Dolt 45 cannot get smart, or even like, smart.  He is lighter than a feather, like a gas, like a fart.  He's just a fart in a skillet.
