Mitchell Report

The Elephant in the Room

2007-08-07-fisa.gif

On Capitol Hill . . . important issues are being entertained. Finally, Congress has setup a competent committee that is distributed to millions of Americans live. There is talk about lies and misremembering. This bipartisan effort is not slacking off. They take no crap for no one and clearly demonstrate it when they speak to their witnesses. They want the truth and they will get it by the end of the hearings. They are hungry for justice and will not stop until they render it. This is great! Finally, tax payer money is going into an investigation that matters . . . or does it?

NO! Who cares if Roger Clemens shot up with HGH (steroids). Who cares if his career was successful due to performance enhancing drugs/supplements. Is it really necessary to dig and research and conclude that his wife also shot up? Must I remind the American people that we are footing a pretty penny for this investigation. The Mitchell Report and its committee are the new joke of the town. Stop wasting my money, our money investigation trivial matters that need to be handled internally by Major League Baseball.

Which begs the question . . . if CNN/MSNBC/FOX are so busy reporting on the Committee findings what is going on that we are not hearing about? Oh yeah . . . FISA aka Protect America Act (Steve breaks it down rather nicely), that bill that is sort of like the Patriot Act. Republicans are fighting tooth and nail to pass this mediocre excuse of legislation in order to protects us . . . from ourselves.
