There was a congressional hearing being carried live on all the news stations this morning. The Congress must be tackling some incredibly grave and important issue to warrant that kind of news coverage.
Subject of the hearing: Steroids in baseball.
As a country, we must be in pretty good shape if the Congress has nothing better to do than yammer on about steroids in baseball.
I have a humble suggestion to my elected representatives: If there’s nothing important to do, GO HOME.
Of course, this being a Democratic Congress, “important” could mean something like more gun control, more spending (not that the Republicans have been helpful in this regard), raising my taxes, destroying the health care system, or surrendering to the barbarians. Maybe it’s good for the country that they spend their time talking about steroids in baseball instead.
