congress, get back to doing your real job!

Why the Hell is our government wasting its time (and our money) grilling athletes about drug use? Aside from the fact that the drug in question only harms the doer, why should congress (small case "c" since they deserve no respect here) care? Shouldn’t it be left up to the sport in question to police its own players?

Could it possibly be that congress is trying to divert our attention from the fact that its "players" are failing to perform their real job, i.e. running our government in a fiscally responsible, rational, and efficient manner?

I could care less whether a baseball player is on steroids, smoking dope, or getting drunk and chasing women all night (whoops, that last one might define some of our so-called leaders better than our sports figures).

Congress: take care of business - balance a budget, fund programs to solve the energy crisis, protect our environment, pass fair and just laws to keep our citizens safe, happy and healthy - and keep your nose out of places it does not belong!
