Something wrong here?

Friday, 15 February 2008

Am I the only one that is sitting here wondering if our elected officials don’t have larger problems to worry about?

Clemens, McNamee get grilled by Congress

Sen. Specter to expand ‘Spygate’ investigation

You’ve got to be kidding me. Steroids in baseball and spying on plays called in the NFL need politicians to worry about? More important than wars and possible bankruptcy of the country and immigration and about 10,000 other issues?

Sorry for the crassness , but good holy flying f***, you have got to be kidding me.

I’m at a complete loss. I literally cannot comprehend this. I’m one of the smartest guys I know, and I’m sitting here at the end of this week looking at my monitor typing this post, and I cannot comprehend this. It is incomprehensible. It’s asdiculous (asinine and ridiculous all in one). It’s ludicrous. It makes no sense. Really. No sense at all. No way I can think it through to find out why this is an issue worth spending government time on.

Let the organizations it affects fix it. What a giant crock. Absolute and utter waste of time. Hell, have congress go watch the grass grow. Maybe even watch the paint dry just for kicks and giggles. Those 2 things are a better use of their time if this is the kind of crap they’re going to waste time on.

I honestly wonder if any of these guys have any brain cells. Wait, they do. Their brain is hard wired to say: What can I do today so that I get some publicity and have to make no hard decisions or accomplish really any problem solving and promise the world to every single man, woman, child, and animal so that I can get reelected and continue wasting the oxygen I breathe. I guess this week that spending time on sports scandals was the answer.

You know, on a daily basis I receive affirmation that the sooner I find a way to get out of this country, the better. Anyone want to move to the Bahamas with me?

And on that lovely note, have a great weekend! ;)

  1. Appears to be time for a backpacking get away. Go find a nice black spot of the earth and enjoy!

  2. We should all send Roger Clemens a Valentine. If Congress is captivated by steriods in baseball, its members cannot be thinking of new regulatory hoops for businesses to jump through, or coming up with new entitlement programs which they hope will get them more votes. I am sure our children and grandchildren are hoping that the steroids in baseball and stealing signals in pro football will consume so much time that the government cannot further mortgage their futures.

    Thomas Jefferson said it best. “That government is best which governs the least, because its people discipline themselves.” I hope Congress’ fixation with baseball lasts for years to come.

  3. I just saw this article and found it highly amusing:

    Congress is telling the FBI that they are wasting their time and they have better things to worry about.
