Anybody watch the congressional testimony of the roidboys, I mean "baseball-players-who-couldn’t-hold-Hank-Aaron’s-Jock"? 

How funny is it that we have congressmen, those paragons of propriety, calling baseball players on the carpet for setting a bad example to America’s yutes?  How bizarre is this country we call the US of A?

The committee that is putting on this fiasco is the "House Government Reform Committee."  Huh? What does this have to do with government reform?

So I decide to check out this House Government Reform Committee.  A quick Google search and I’m on their website.  I look at their oversight plan, and I find that this is one ambitious group of legislators.

Here’s a partial list of what they are supposed to oversee:  Homeland Security, National Guard, US Postal Service, Management Reform, Diploma Mills (huh?), Electronic Voting, Regulatory Affairs, Bureau of Economic Analysis, Unfunded Mandate Reform Act, New Dietary Guidelines (huh?), US Visitor & Immigrant Status Indicator Technology, Transportation Security Administration, Oversight of District of Columbia (great job guys!), 21st Century Healthcare yada, yada, yada.

Okay let’s state the obvious: these guys are 1. jock sniffers and 2. looking for a little network camera time.  I know that major league baseball as well as the other major sports leagues in the U.S. enjoy a special business status (I’m of the opinion that should end), but there’s no need for congress to be involved.

Steroids are illegal.  Let law enforcement take care of it.  Put a few players and their suppliers behind bars and you’ll start to see some action.

As for congress, start working on real problems like 21st century healthcare, medicare, homeland security and real government reform.
