Congress to Hold Steroid Hearings

Baseball's steroid problem is important. But doesn't Congress have a few more pressing issues?

I gotta tell ya, this federal government of ours is becoming a big joke. We're now nine trillion dollars on debt as a nation, sixty million people are without health care, we are bogged down in a war without reason, more than 4 million good jobs have left the country in the last seven years, and Pakistan is about to erupt. But the fine boys and girls on Capitol Hill have decided that all of that is not the real problem facing America. The real problem is whether or not Roger Clemens took a shot of HGH in the summer of 2001. I'm sorry, but it is absolutely ridiculous that Representatives Tom Davis and Henry Waxman are holding more baseball steroid hearings. It's nothing but grandstanding at this point.

And it's making me very angry.
