I think I am going to run for congress. The pay is pretty good and the benefits are fabulous. Above average health care. Franking privledges. You can retire with full pay for life. Best part of the job? You don't have to show up for work. You may be a one-term congressman or senator, but consider being paid for life regardless of the job you do. Look at the candidates who have been running for president. Many are on the federal payroll. Many aren't reporting to Washington for work very much. This is not the only thing that aggravates me. Does anyone else wonder why there are senate hearings about steroid use in baseball? Doesn't baseball have their own commission to regulate this sport? How is this a federal matter? One would think congress could keep busy just keeping their own people accountable. Did they spend as much time asking guys about restroom etiquette, their email or extracurricular activities?
Citizens have the option of spending money to watch big league baseball. There are plenty of sports writers and entertainment shows to look for scandal. Buyer or consumer beware. I didn't send my senator to DC to discuss baseball. What will they do next, look at professional wrestling? Where were they with their inquiries when we were electing a wrestler as governor? How about if they confine their search to big headed steroid freak baseball players who want to run for political office?
