Well, I pity the kids in congress right now. I believe the 3-ring circus is almost out acts.
They have held big loud hearings about Steroids in Baseball - because hulking homer hitters are more of a threat to national security than ... say... Bin Ladan or North Korean Nukes or the ethics in business meltdown.
Then they all raced back to be on TV to denounce doctors, husbands, and courts and ordered Terri Schivo's bill. We can't pass a law regarding healh care in general. And the Justice Department prosecutes Medical Marijana as fast as it can (unless illegal immigrants are harvesting it). But Terri, she is their gal.
But now what? After April the Hard Work is done. The brackets are complete. What do hold hearings on.
I see a joint conference on clubbing seals. That should be looked at.
The parking situation in Petaluma is aching for tough long stare.
There will be gasoline hearings. At the end of those, the shocking, yes SHOCKING result will be that there isn't enough gasoline. And that makes the price go up. Damn you market forces! Well, clearly the oil companies need another tax break. I am sure they will pass it on.
Alan Greenspan, who said "we were all wrong on the effect of the tax breaks" has moved on to social Security and privatization. Hopefully we won't "all be wrong on that" too.
