Apparently They Have Nothing Better to Do...

FEBRUARY 27--A Congressional committee today formally asked federal prosecutors to investigate whether Roger Clemens lied when he testified earlier this month that he never used steroids or human growth hormone.

So, how's that health care initiative work coming along? How's the budget coming along? How's the War in Iraq coming along? How's the "No Child Left Behind" and other education programs coming along? How is campaign spending and reform coming along?

Hmmmmm. All those problems solved, eh? Yup I can see where it would be important to spend all this time and money on trying to find out if professional athletes ever used performance enhancing drugs. Anyone here think they don't? Nope, I didn't think you guys were that gullible. It's a given. In a profession where people are paid according to their talent and their talent is highly dependent upon their physical health/strength you can assume that there is probably about as much illicit drug use as there is among the general population. It just might be a different drug.

Our esteemed professional athletes failed in their ability to be role models when they started becoming thugs, drug addicts, dead bead parents, gamblers, and animal abusers. Do we really have to spend additional money to know that the system is broke, is gonna stay broke and nothing we do is going to change that? Let them screw up their lives by taking these drugs. Just don't ask me to pay my tax dollars so you can justify not focusing on the real problems in America.
