* Our tax dollars at work

February 12, 2009

Can you think of any better way for our elected officials in Washington to spend their time and our money these days on more hearings about baseball and PEDs?

According to several articles, including this one from Newsday (Feb. 10):

Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) plans to recommend to the head of the congressional committee that has previously hosted baseball players that A-Rod receive an invite to testify about his steroid use, Cummings told Newsday last night.

No wonder they can’t agree on the stimulus package; they’re too distraught over the impact of drugs on our national pastime.

I have only one more thing to say about the situation:

Hah! Good one…I find it funny (in a dark, DC lawyer kind of way) that the Congressman from Baltimore wanted to haul A-Rod in, but he was thrwarted by the full Committee Chairman, who happens to be from, you guessed it, New York.

What’s that about “All Politics is Local”?
