No Real Purpose
The Latest News From Jackson Press – Baseball, Congress, & Drugs
Okay, let me first admit that I am not a baseball fan. Boring game to watch, on par with watching grass grow or paint dry. The only time I find it mildly entertaining is during play-offs or the World Series.
Our nation’s pastime is dull. Says a lot about us, I think.
So on that same line of thinking, what in hell is Congress doing holding hearings to examine doping claims in baseball?
More importantly, and let me add a little emphasis to demonstrate my dismay over this whole farce -
WHY ARE MY FRAKIN’ TAX DOLLARS BEING SO THOROUGHLY WASTED IN A RIDICULOUS WITCH-HUNT OVER WHETHER OR NOT SOME FRIKIN’ BASEBALL PLAYER TOOK PERFORMANCE-ENHANCING DRUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Someone please explain to me when it became Congress’s charge to make sure that athletes did not abuse drugs! More importantly, who let this idiot, California Democrat Henry Waxman, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, run with this whole fiasco???
Did I miss something somewhere?
Did we resolve our nation’s health care issues, or our softening economy? Are we out of Iraq? Are all our children receiving world-class educations that put the U.S. educational system back on top in the world?
Did we fix global warming and clean-up all the pollution we’ve so graciously left for our children? Have we solved world hunger? Are the terrorists all dead? Have we figured out how to get peace into the Middle East and do we now have market-ready technology to wean ourselves off oil?
What the hell happened to this God-damned nation’s priorities?
And I do mean God-damned, because if trying to determine whether or not Roger Clemens shot up with steroids is the kind of thing our elected representatives think is important to America, then we’re all screwed and pretty much damned in a “fall of the Roman Empire” kind of way.
Is this what our troops are fighting and dying for in Iraq? The right of hare-brained senators and representatives to pursue idiotic government reforms in baseball? Well, no. Our solders are really over there to secure Middle Eastern oil for the corporations that really run the United States in the name of making a profit. So who is it that wants the American people to believe that determining whether or not Roger Clemens took performance-enhancing drugs is an important issue to America?
Who’s running things around here? California elected Henry Waxman, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. Is it time to revoke California’s right to elect more idiots to congress? It all makes me wonder if things are any better in Canada.
Makes me sorry to be a ‘Murican.
