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.

Really makes me wonder where the priorities are in this country sometimes.

Everything is better on the rocks.

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...
