Everyone knows the Congressional "investigation" into steroid use in baseball is a ridiculous joke. However, I'm in favor of it! In fact, I think every Congressional committee should spend the rest of the year holding hearings, getting autographs, and investigating whether or not grown men are cheating at a ball game.
Why? Because Congress is largely incompetent. They're like an anti-King Midas: everything they touch turns to crap. Sure, there are hundreds of problems in our country with vastly more import than whether or not ball players cheat, but that's all the more reason to keep Congress distracted by celebrities and inanity. Every day they spend investigating baseball is a day they aren't raising taxes, writing earmarks, wasting money on social engineering, restricting our liberties, humiliating us in the eyes of our enemies, and undermining the War on Terror.
So I say, on with the hearings! This way, our prosecutors and judges can spend their valuable time pursuing important crimes.
That is funny, Michael. I was just talking to my wife yesterday asking her what in tarnation makes baseball and steroid use a congressional issue?! NOTHING. I guess Congress balanced the budget, fixed immigration, and solved the country's problems so they have time to meddle in something that isn't the government's business!!!!!!!!!! I am quite irritated to say the least. You hit the nail on the head and I am glad I am not the only one to question it.
