first freedom fries, now this 12:00pm 4/1/2005  

With the country hopelessly mired in a no-win situation in the Middle East, fearful of an economy that can still be described as "sluggish" at best, and ready to sign the death certificate for social security, our fearless leader George W. somehow sees debating steroids in sports and euthanasia as a wise use of our government's resources. The whole Terri Schiavo thing could have been solved by locking her husband and her parents in a room and letting them figure it out. Instead, it turned into a political hot potato and sucked up god knows how much time and money, for no apparent benefit. Meanwhile, Congress convenes a hearing to discuss steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs in sports. I'm as opposed to them as the next guy, but again ... this is not even close to being the most important problem facing the country today. Now we've got congressmen in North Dakota submitting legislation to have Roger Maris's 1961 single-season home run record reinstated, seeing as the three men who have bested it in recent years (Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, and Barry Bonds) are all under suspicion of having used performance-enhancing drugs. Again, not the worst idea ever concocted, but i don't pay taxes to ensure the accuracy of baseball's record books.

The worst thing is that Jeb Bush keeps finding ways to interject himself into the national spotlight. And you thought the reign of the Bushes would end in 2008 ... guess again.
