The United States Congress

By Tom Gehl

Let's see now...............

An organziation that exempts itself from the very Social Security System that it has bankrupted, and cannot even protect the college age youth in its employ from the improper sexual advances of its own members, is now turning its all-correcting eye to the task of cleaning up Major League Baseball.

Even if you care about what Roger Clemens did or did not inject into his backside, what makes anyone think the United States Congress is going to be able to do anything effective in this regard?

The only thing more pathetic than Barry Bonds saying he didn't do it, is the sight of a bunch of Beltway Suits ginning up their latest wave of self-righteous indignation, and projecting criticism on to Major League Baseball that they would never level at themselves. 

I have become a believer in term limits; a topic I will try and get to later this month.

I agree but one correction: the pages are high schoolers.  Not even 18 years old.

Hi Tom, Bud Selig ignored the problem and it took and act of congress to wake him up. He still is in the contemplation mode and avoiding decesion making. Kind of slippery like a Politician. Term Limits. You Bet your last tax dollar on that one. Will it happen , not if a politician has anything to say about it. I will look forward to your discussion on the subject.
