While a baseball player testified before a Congressional Committee
American soldiers died for no reason

families in Iraq lost their homes, their brothers and sisters lost their lives

people in Afghanistan lost their heads

More bodies were seen floating down the river in Darfur

a child was abducted, raped and murdered in Baltimore

Paris Hilton, Brittany Spears, and all their friends got loaded

Someone took a pill for ED, RLS, Anxiety or Depression, or Acid Reflux


I did not take Steroids.

Thank you, Congress, for focusing on the important things in life.

Congress?

It's not a collection of people with my interests in mind.

1. Amazing, isn't it? This is what they consider worthy of investigation.
Steroids.

They keep out interests in mind just enough to keep the masses fooled.

3. A few more...
The Patriot Act still exists

The FISA Bill could be a shoe-in

bush is still on office destroying the country

People are dying from curable diseases that could be treated but no insurance

People are freezing to death because of heating costs

Children go to bed hungry

The DP is being sought for some of the Gitmo detainees, creating possible martyrs

4. Stupid, unjustifiable waste of time and money
As if the actions of those overgrown, overpaid, loutish game-playing "boys" really matter more than war, poverty, recession, environmental destruction, and (lest we forget!) the latest antics of Britney Spears.
