About This Blog
For most of this year I have been blogging at the Kerry Haters blog, and as a result this blog has only had occasional posts on baseball and football, along with a few other items.
Basically, this blog is about heroes, rather loosely defined. Some are no questions asked heroes, like Bud Day, whom I profiled below. Some are heroes only in their fans' eyes, like football and baseball players. And some are fictional heroes, like Sherlock Holmes, Doc Savage, and Batman.
There will be lots more political posts than has been the case in the last year. I don't anticipate Brainster's becoming the huge blog that KH evolved into, but I appreciate my readers and if there are stories you'd like me to cover, feel free to let me know in the comments.
Regarding the blog name, it is not a boast. I used to post on Usenet under the self-deprecating name of "Brain Death" but the Brain Death blogspot was gone, so I selected Brainster ala the Saturday Night Live character who used to give everybody a nickname--The Mikester! Mike-aroonius!
