We are enmeshed in a horrible war. Almost one-sixth of us have no health insurance. The housing industry is in a tailspin, and we are in the middle stretch of an election cycle. Naturally,in times like these, congress turns its attention to: The National Football League. The attention comes during the Super Bowl week. It involves the possibility that one team spied on another and the commissioner burned the tapes proving that spying took place. I am not kidding. These people who enact laws you have to obey are spending their time finding out if taping a practice took place. This answers the question, how ineffectual can a legislative body be? This is what you are focused on?
I remember congressman kissing Senator Jim Bunning's (R., Ky.) ass when he testified about steroids. Amazingly,all the panel had a memory of seeing Bunning, a Hall of Fame pitcher, toss fastballs in Tiger Stadium. Fastballs from Bunning,softballs from the congresspeople. Maybe the fact that Senator Arlen Specter survivied cancer gives him the right to wile away the time with self seeking bull. This is the reason people stop voting, clowns in suits tackling deep issues. Deep like a birdbath.

You nailed it Sam. The Congress is about as dysfunctional as you can get. I personally don't care about baseball players taking steroids or a team spying on another. I do care about our non-enforcement of immigration laws. Our addiction to oil. Our non-existent energy policy. The fact that you need truckloads of money to run for office. As for the horrible war (aren't they all?), I pray everyday that stability will come to that area ASAP and that our troops can come home.
