It's Good To Know

That the republic is in such good shape that congress has nothing more important to do than "investigate" drug use in professional baseball!
Or - could it be - the lure of the sound bite, the call of the teevee shot, is just too strong for the congresspersons, those servants-of-the-people, to resist?
Here it is! The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform is busily interviewing baseball stars, making very sure there's lots of cameras and writers around to document their avid pursuit of Truth; Justice; And The American Way. Here's what the nation's newspaper,
the Washington Post says.... Alternatively, here's what Franksmaunderings said... in August 2005. I remain steadfast in my belief that this dog-and-pony show is entirely for the purpose of evading any purposeful work by a disgraceful congress.
As long as it's not real, our lawmakers will rush to investigate it!
Kind of reminds one of what Mark Twain said about them: "I truly believe there is no truly American criminal class - with the exception of the Congress". One would wish that the committe on government reform would devote some effort to

Reforming The Government!
