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.

And The Winner Is...

I have some very exciting news. For the first time ever the Blog of Bex is giving out an award . Yes, I know. I can feel my heart pounding, too. I will call it the Bite My Ass Award (BMAA) and I'm sure it will be coveted. Now you might be wondering just who will be the lucky recipient. Could it be Diesel, the mastermind of Humor-Blogs and Mattress Police , who - for reasons unknown to me - revamped the scoring system and and reset my score to zero? Nope. This action has actually mysteriously seemed to work in my favor. I'm sure it's temporary. ANYWAY, on to the big news. I hereby give my BMAA to this guy: Handsome little fucker, isn't he? His name is James Jackson, IV and his friends call him Jay. I like to call him Fucktard because I believe that your name should say something about the kind of guy you are. And he's a total fucktard. What, you may wonder, did he do to generate such ire from me? Well I'm so glad you asked. He owns two boutiques in suburban At...

Pervy McPervert strikes again!

When I was a kid I used to make the occasional prank call. But then I turned 13 and decided that it was a fairly retarded way to spend ones time. I've also received a few "heavy breathing" calls in my day. My mom finally bought us a whistle and said that whenever "he" called that we were to blow the whistle as loud as we could into the phone. That worked although I do wish she had specified that before blowing the whistle I should take the receiver away from my head as my ear made this weird ringing noise for days afterward. But it got rid of the pervert. It's a new day, however, and perverts must be looking for new ways to annoy us. Twice today someone has texted a picture to me. I have no idea who he is or what the hell he wants. But he must think that I don't know that sometimes shirtless men squeeze their arms against their chest to give the appearance that they actually have biceps when, in fact, their arms really look like toothpicks that are broke...

Protesting at Funerals: A Look at the Deranged and Demented

I normally like to write about funny things. (At least they are things that I find funny.) They are usually attempts to be funny in a ha-ha kind of way, although sometimes I will throw in something that's funny in a weird way, just to shake things up. But what I want to write about now isn't funny at all. It is shocking and horrific. There was a girl from my home town who was murdered at Auburn University last week. Her name was Lauren Burk and she was 18. She went to our local high school and although I didn't know her many of my friends children did. She's being buried today. Her family is, naturally, heartbroken. It was a random, tragic and violent attack. That's really bad enough. My husband drove by the funeral home yesterday and noticed that there was a small army of Harley Davidson riders holding American flags. They appeared to be guarding the memorial service. It turns out that they were asked to be there to protect the family because a group called the We...
