treatment. Am I wrong about that? Yet people are embarrassed that Congress is respecting his rights.

Clemens chose this embarrassment for himself and his friends. He knew the consequences.

With that kind of money, there is a whole PR campaign out there to make him look like the victim.

Only one person took steroids here and that started this nasty problem. He knew it was wrong. We all know it's wrong in the context of championship sports.

Sports is BIG BUSINESS!!!! Think Murdoch and ESPN. There's a reason this is happening and it can be considered nothing less than an abuse of our Congress.

It's not fair to blame those who are following the rules. It's only fair to blame the culprit.

This "charade" is about money and the system is setup for rich lawyers to abuse the system.

I don't yet know who I am going to vote for, but one thing is for sure...things have GOT to change.

And while I'm on a roll here, neither gender nor race is going to influence my choice whatsoever. I find it depressing that this even has to be said out loud, yet the media wants us to believe it matters. IT DOESN'T.

I want change - total, irrevocable change. And I'll fight to get it if a real leader called me to do so. I'm SICK TO DEATH of things like SPORTS being considered important. We (Seattle) just spent a gazillion dollars on TWO stadiums SIDE-BY-SIDE. They tore down a perfectly good building to do it. And the voters rejected the idea FIVE TIMES!!! FIVE TIMES!!!

No, Congress shouldn't be debating this, and the fault is both Clemens and the Republics who started this nonsense.

OK - off my stump.
