Steroids: surely we have better things to talk about
We all know many politicians love the limelight. They crave an opportunity to grandstand. This can be the only logical explanation for the current hearings on steroid use in baseball.
What an unbelievable waste of taxpayer's money and their elected servants' time. Who really cares? Enhancement in sport --say it ain't so! Judging from the wild popularity of WWE a huge number of folks want to watch enhanced freaks perform.
The twittering about protecting "America's Pastime" fails to recognize that the real american pastime is working hard and paying taxes: that's what reallly matters to most people and that's what politicians should be helping with. Asking obvious questions of stonewalling multi-millionaire athletes is not a suitable use of our resources. Let these athletes kill themselves slowly if they wish--thanks to their obscene salaries and myopic union support they will not be a burden on our tax dollars as they end their lives miserably suffering from steroid related problems.
What about the baseball records I hear lots of remarkably boring stat-freaks ask? Again, who cares: baseballs records have been tainted throughout the history of the game --how can any of the Hall of Famers that played when blacks were banned be accurately evaluated? They didn't play against the best of their day.
The bottom line is government is not a game --baseball is and the two should be kept separate.

Perhaps a Separation of Sport and State amendment to the constitution?
