I am reposting this from Thursday because my blood pressure is still up, and I don't think enough people are outraged.
Indulge me while I vent a little.
I know I read somewhere that holding it in is bad for your health. Probably some Congresional study. Wouldn't want to get sick now would I. Would just end up healthy, and on the street, with the current cost of health care.
Wait. Congress is addressing that aren't they? Along with illegal immigration and the war in Iraq? Busy drafting policy to make my life and the country better. Busy doing what it was we sent them to Washington to do, right?
Wrong. They're too busy protecting me from professional baseball pitchers who may or may not have taken steroids.
WTF are they thinking? I don't remember any candidate running on a platform to purge professional sports of steroids. And just why exactly is this the business of Congress at all? Do they really believe that the citizens of this country want them to spend their time on Roger Clemens? Or Terri Schiavo for that matter.
With all the important freaking issues facing this country, this is what they choose to do? Really? C'mon. Someone say "Gotcha". I swear I expect Ashton Kutcher to jump out any moment and tell the entire country it just got punk'd.
As I said, I don't remember sending anyone to Congress with an agenda to rid baseball of steroids. What I do remember sending people to Washington for, very clearly, is to end the Iraq war. Guess which we got.
I am so tired of finger pointing. I am so tired of failure. I am so tired of our representatives making promises, and then never delivering anything but excuses, and more of the same. I am so tired of members of Congress who are more concerned about getting on TV to look like they're doing something, anything, rather than the nothing they normally do.
I am so tired. Maybe a nice shot of steroids would help...
