Congress is Very Busy - Do Not Bother Us (except with regards to Steroids or other grandstand issues)

Steroids. Does Congress really need to get invovled with Steroids and professional athletics? I mean we all knew Mark Mcquire was juiced years ago. Let's see


During the 1998 Season


Before 2001 Season (training camp)

But here is the $60,000 question - so what. I mean, yes it is unfair. But so are Dads building a kid's soapbox derby car, should Congress get involved with that? I blieve it is arguable that Steroid use in kids is a much biogger problem - but that isn't addressed.

Without a doubt, the problems of $8 Billion missing dollars of reconstruction effort in Iraq is more pressing (at least to those of us in Southern California where 12 hospitals have closed because they can't afford the un-insured patients, and leagally can't turn them away - $8 Billion dollars would have kept them all open ; possibly a better deal for America rahter than siphoning off the money to crooks in Baghdad).

But no. Congress has decided to address this. And John McCain is getting great press for it.
