This extensive investigation into Roger Clemens’ possible drug use a decade ago serves as proof that Congress has too much time on its hands and is not capable of being trusted to run our government. Let’s think about this for a second. Our Social Security system is failing, a large portion of our population has no health care coverage, our borders are not secure and we are at war in Iraq, yet it is more important for Congress to allocate all this time and resources looking into a baseball player that might have used steroids in the past.

I really don’t get it. Until about five years ago, no one seemed to have a problem turning a blind eye to drug use by professional athletes in exchange for seeing records getting smashed. Professional athletes have been using drugs to help with their training for decades, and it is much more prevalent than most fans would ever realize. They work in a hypercompetitive environment, and like most competitive people, they are doing what they can to gain a training edge. The competitive environment puts the pressure on them to break the records if they want to sell out games. It is not much different than the way people might consider taping another team’s defensive strategy to win a big trophy.
