WTF Congress
 
I was wathcing CCN yesterday. Congress was in an uproar about steriods in baseball. They were grilling Bud Selig etc.. Who gives a red rats ass. We got ussary oil prices, a war that was started for God knows what reason, FEMA isn't worth a crap, the Speaker of the House has been indicted and China is growing like a young bluefish. So lets all focus on steriods in baseball. Maybe I am getting aold and grouchy but this country really does seem to be sliding down the slippery slope. :spin:

It is all a grand illusion. The whole system needs an enema. get rid of them all, and start fresh. Start with making it illegal to take any campain donations from a special interest group.. all people running would be givin an equal allowance by the goverment.

the way it looks now, the one with the most $$ wins. Who gives the most contributions to politicians???? Oil companies, compaines who are outsourcing to china, etc... or in ohther words, the $$$ is coming form special interests, and you can be sure that those special interests are goingto be taken care of once their puppet gets ellected.

get me a barf bag... :tm:
