Thanks Congress!

Boy... I am sure glad that Congress is hard at work solving all the big problems facing our country, like war, terrorism, the economy, immigration, taxes, and so on....

Wait... they aren't.

Instead, the House Oversight Committee spent all day interviewing a baseball player and his former trainer about whether or not the player had used steroids or human growth hormones. Honestly, is this a matter that really deserves Congressional hearings?

Who cares? I don't care. Roger Clemen's baseball success has little bearing on my life, while the big issues that Congressional Representatives were elected to work on, may effect me a great deal.

I hope that Congress goes back to doing more important things soon. I kind of feel like they are wasting our money and America's valuable time. Is it any wonder that Bush told the House no this morning when they requested more time to reach an agreement on the Protect America Act. Maybe if they spent more time on the important issues and less on baseball witch hunts, something would get done.
