:: Baseball and 'Roids ::

Have you guys been following the deposition of Roger Clemens at all? Me neither. You'd think that with my love of baseball, I'd be keeping close tabs on this but I think it's a colossal waste of taxpayer money, manpower, and airtime. Forget the argument that Congressional resources could be redirected to something more pertinent. Baseball has already implemented rules, tests, and penalties to try to prevent future steroid and HGH use. It's not perfect, more could be done, and more is being done but it's a considerable upgrade from the "don't ask, don't tell, just make sure you get me some of that" policy of the recent past. And it certainly didn't need government intervention.

Henry Waxman and his cronies just needed a pointless outlet to wield their Congressional Powers (what I really think happened was that Clemens declined his request to play for his Democratic Majority Softball Team; I hear they're getting tired of always losing the Republicans... that's just what I heard) and we're inundated with updates on a pointless tribunal that borders on theater.

My only real thought? I had no idea that "misremember" is a real word. Who knew?


Edit: I forgot to mention, Clemens doesn't know what "vegan" means. Sad, yet in a weird way I kinda like that about him.
