It's A Crime To Lie To Congress?

Wow, Roger Clemens charged with lying to Congress.  Who knew?  As bad as lying to Congress must be, since they are charging him with a federal crime, don't you think Congress lying to the American people should be a crime?  We are lied to on almost a daily basis by our Congress. 

Do you remember being told that the health care bill would reduce your health care costs?  LIE.  Do you remember being told it would reduce the budget deficit? LIE.  Do you remember, well I don't have all night. suffice it to say our Congress does things it has no power to do and fails to do some of the most important things it is supposed to do.  Of course the current, and even former members of the Executive Branch are no better.

I for one am tired of being lied to by Congress.  If there was a way to bring the Congressional liars up on charges, I would be all for it.  In fact, if there was a way to bring any of the lying elected officials up on charges I would be for that too.  We deserve better, or do we?  After all we were dumb enough to elect them in the first place.

Roger had one heck of a fastball.

Government Protects Us From Roger Clemens

Every day we should arise and be thankful the federal government is out there protecting us from harm.  No, not from the thousands who enter our country illegally every day.  Not from those who want to dance on the graves of thousands at Ground Zero by building a Mosque.  Not from the flood of new taxes we will be facing.  Not from the incredible and wasteful spending.  The federal government, thank goodness, is protecting us from Roger Clemens.  Who?  The baseball player who may, or may not, have taken performance enhancing drugs.

Having failed to do their jobs in any meaningful way, Congress decided it was important to investigate baseball.  Baseball?  Yes, who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of man?  Maybe some of those baseball players used drugs.  Maybe some die hard fans give a rip.  Is this what our federal government should be doing?

It is beyond my limited abilities to describe the failures of our federal government without resorting to foul language.  Maybe Congress should take performance enhancing drugs.  Maybe they could actually do their jobs for the American people.  Then again, probably not.

But we won't have to worry about Roger Clemens destroying the image of our national past time.  Yeah, that's way more important than billions of wasted dollars and millions of illegal immigrants.  Sure, way to go Nancy.  Is it time for the seventh inning stretch?
