The Congressional Crack Team

What the hell?! For months and months Congress has been interrogating professional baseball players on illegal drug use in the sport. Perhaps Congress is unaware that their current President of the United States has done illegal drugs?? And I suppose they are further uninformed that the previous President of this great country also dabbled in street drugs. Even the people running for the job of President have done drugs. It's practically in the contract that you must have, at some point, done drugs to be the President of the USA. Yet Congress is parading professional ball players - people who are, essentially, entertainers - through the United States Congress DEMANDING answers.

Is there anyone out there who really gives a shit?? Besides, at least the baseball players were using drugs to beef up and to be better at their game. Our Presidents were just getting HIGH. Now keep in mind, I'm not judging anyone for drug use. I'm judging Congress to be a bunch of no-talent ass clowns for wasting my tax dollars on something so irrelevant to the running of our government. Is this even in their job description? I would think drug abuse would fall under the police or the DEA. The next thing you know they are going to haul Miley Cirus before them for the Hannah Montanah Congressional Hearings because they heard she used a body double in her concert. I'm sure they'll get right to the bottom of that national crisis, too. Jackasses.

Why don't you go visit Humor-Blogs. If they have hearings, well, I've never heard about them.

I'm so glad someone else out there feels this way. Who gives a flying shit about drugs in sports? I checked Fox News online yesterday and there was a HUGE headline about it as if it was the most important thing ever to happen on the planet, and NO ONE CARES.

I for one would like to see Roger Clemens go down swinging, if you'll forgive the phrase as he's technically a pitcher...and only because he's a humorless, dour and thoroughly unpleasant guy and worse---a terrible liar! No sense of style or panache...if you're going to bald-faced lie, it should be with a certain flair...ah well, perhaps I expect too much from a lunkhead baseball player...

Marie,

I KNOW! I wonder how much money this stupid "quest" has cost us. Morons.

Hi, Shark Guy! I guess I found someone who DOES care about this. I suppose there had to be at least one of you out there!! Glad you cruised by the blog...

bex, i do equate using steriods with cheating at sports, and worthy of being punished. but a congressional hearing?!

i'll tell you what really pisses me off. my gummit wasting my tax dollars on this shit!

Hiya, Leigh. I know it is kind of cheating. But I think it's a gray line. Athletes can take their vitamins, work out, etc and that's all fair...some of the steroids these guys took (I think) might have even been legal when they were consumed. So that's cheating?

I guess I find the whole thing confusing. Doctors can inject cortisone into an injured athlete which would allow him or her to get back in the game, yet cortisone is a steroid, right? I would think if steroids were such a big no-no then they wouldn't be allowed to use them at all. The athletes would just have to heal the good old fashioned way.



I think it's just ridiculous that Congress is investigating it. We have so many other things they could be trying to fix. I think they just wanted to meet some famous ball players and this is the only way they could hang out with one. Ugh. Politicians make my ass twitch (not in a good way).

I suggest we go the All Drug Olympics route.

It is so funny that you blogged about this. My husband and I were talking about this very thing on our drive to the mountains to ski. I asked him why he thought that congress had the right to go on a witch hunt when we are in a WAR and we are on the verge or are in a recession.

Diesel, All Drugs, All the Time would make for an interesting Olympics. That's a funny SNL clip. Did you see the one about the lower back tattoo? It's hilarious...

Steph, so you've been skiing, eh? NICE! Are you a good skier? I enjoy the ski lifestyle (beautiful lodges with a full service spa, hot tubs, bars with handsome bartenders, etc.) but I'm not a great skier. In fact, I don't like to ski any faster than I can run. Which is not very fast.

Politicians suck. All of them. Lefties, Righties...it doesn't matter. I am SO tired of trying to pick a candidate out of all of these clowns. You just have to look for the person least likely to f*ck stuff up. Sigh.

I'm very interested in the presidential pharmaceuticals. DO they take leadership enhancing drugs?

If so, I think they should increase their prescription.

The Dunkin Donuts Dilemna

I am always amazed when I leave my home in the early hours of the morning and there are people out and about. I can barely see the runners (as the sun isn't yet passed the horizon) but they are hoofing it up the hill. Don't these people know that they should be home - in bed - snuggled up???! So you can imagine my surprise when, at 6AM, I saw the impressive line at my local Dunkin Donuts. But we were heading out of town on a road trip with 3 little kids (all under 8) and a 2 month old puppy. I know what you are thinking...WHY??! We very anxiously wanted to travel for a little bit of more pain - AKA my 20th High School reunion. Maybe more on that later... As if this all weren't bad enough, my husband and I had been to a party the night before and I had just the slightest headache. So I needed coffee and like all reasonable people I went to the Dunkin Donuts because their coffee is THE BEST coffee anywhere! Starbucks can kiss my lilly white! But I digress... So I get in the l...

A Housewife's Dirty Confession...

I have Vaseline underneath my right index finger nail. No amount of soap and water seems to vanquish it. Sshhhhh. Don't tell anyone, K? Because that could lead to awkward questions. But I'll tell you what - today, just for shits and giggles, let's skip the questions completely and just go to the answers. And, GO. Projectile vomiting. One massive pile in the doctor's waiting room. Once in the car. Twice at home. Yes, that IS a lot of puke for a two year old. Anal suppositories. TWICE. No I am not honoring my pledge to lay off of the cosmo's for a while and fuck you for bringing that up after the day I've had. Did this make you smile? Or were you just envious that you didn't get to spend the morning pinning down a pissed off and puking two year old long enough to further enrage him by shoving a suppository up his ass? (thought so) Either way, feel free to click my HB smiley below. And, as always, if you're shopping around for funny blogs this is the pl...

Light a match!

You know, people are getting so touchy these days. I just read this news story about a THIRTEEN year old kid who got arrested. When I saw the headline I thought, "Man, this country is going to hell in a hand basket. What did this criminal mastermind DO, anyway?? Did he steal a car? Get his moms attention by throwing a cleaver at her head? Sexually assault his little sibling??" Noooo.... No, this kid farted in school. And then got arrested. Apparently I went to school with a bunch of felons and didn't even know it. Besides, have you seen what they feed these kids in school lunchrooms?? And "The Man" is going to blame intestinal distress on HIM??! Let's file this under "Give Me A Fucking Break, Please." The teacher said that he was purposefully farting and therefore disrupting the class. Plus? This little fucker turned off a few computers that his friends were working on. I think it would be far more incredible if you could find me a 13 year old who...
