As I watched the sorry Congressional hearings featuring Roger Clemens I couldn’t help but wonder what is going on in our nation’s capital. Does anybody understand how many important issues our country is currently facing? Apparently not! Congressman Henry Waxman and his committee did nothing to make people feel good about our leaders in this country.

Lest you think it’s just the House of Representatives lets move on over to the United States Senate. Here, Senator Arlen Specter demanded to see Roger Goodell of the NFL to talk about what the NFL did with the infamous Patriots’ tape of the Jets game. It appears the Senator, (he of the single bullet theory in the Warren Commission report and a former Presidential Candidate–gee how did that work out?) apparently has no good staff to help explain to him that the country has many important issues facing it and that the disposal of the tapes from Spygate are not high on the public’s priority list.

Now this morning (February 16) I hear on the news that the horse racing industry has been called to Washington to appear before some new committee to talk about steroid use. And the kicker? It’s not even about the Jockeys but the horses!

Please save my sanity and our country by going to www.house.gov or www.senate.gov. Find your Senator or member of the House of Representatives and ask them to remember the following: It’s about the Economy! It’s about the War in Iraq! It’s about Health Care Reform! And be sure to add your own favorite issue currently not being addressed by our legislative leadership in Congress. Both parties should be ashamed and we as Americans should also be ashamed for allowing it to happen. We deserve better.
