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.

Florida: The Good. The Bad. The Holy SHIT!!!

So you know...I live in Florida now. The good news is that my southern accent is stronger than ever - I think it was some sort of defense mechanism...of or for what, I have no idea. I definitely miss Atlanta and my friends, though, especially now. Spring in Atlanta is SO beautiful. But Florida is pretty nice, too. We go to the beach at least once a week and we all love having a pool in the backyard. Also, my husband makes me a Planter's Punch every night and I don't even feel guilty by knocking it back - we're on vacation, right?? A couple of weeks ago I was reading the news and saw this weird picture: In case your eyes can't make sense of it, I'll give you a hint. It's not a puppy. I'm guessing it's not an air freshener, either. It is, in fact, a Burmese Python that ruptured and now has a really big dead Alligator sticking out of it's stomach. Oh, and something ate the snakes head off. That's why there is no head there. National Geographic has

Oooohhh...I just LOVE when you wrap it around me... do it again, please?

I had heard that "crack" kills. I just never really believed it until I saw it with my own eyes. (Bless his heart.) About 3 years ago I was 6 months pregnant and had two daughters (aged 4 and 5). We were all traveling from Bellingham, WA to Atlanta, GA with a VERY brief layover in Dallas. We were booked on a major airline that should remain anonymous as they are a bunch of asshats (but they rhyme with "Mamerican Mairlines") and we had to leave for the airport at 3:30 AM in order to catch our 7AM flight. It was Suck City. By the time our car arrived in Seattle my husband and I were barely speaking to each other and the girls had marks on their faces and arms from the backseat smack-down they had while out of our reach. When I went to the counter to speak with the representative she informed me that even though our seats had been purchased many months ago and seat assignments had been given all of that had changed and we were no longer sitting together as a family. I

The Wild and Wonderful World of Animal Butts

Hello, Boys. How're they hangin'?? Several years ago my dad and I were hiking in California. It was a beautiful afternoon and we were on a mountain trail. We came upon some kind of farm that had a fence around it. Suddenly I saw it - a pig lying down with his "sac" squeezed out behind him. It looked as though someone had stuffed two basketballs under his skin. My first thought was, "Holy crap, pigs can get elephantitis??!" This was quickly followed by thought number two which was, "I would give anything to be sharing this experience with anyone but my father ." So I did what anyone could do in such a situation. I took a picture of the pig balls. I decided that I would put it on the cover of my Christmas cards that year and when the card was opened it would say, "Deck the halls...." I haven't done it yet but I will...yes, I will. You may be wondering why I brought this up. It has to do with baboons and Darwin. At the risk of dramatical
