Are you as embarrassed by Congress as I am?

You should be. What the hell are they doing spending our tax dollars on baseball!? What, exactly, is the point? It's a he said/he said situation. Only a mental deficient (which mostly seems to describe Congress) would be unaware of the fact that all professional sports has been affected by steroid use. Who cares what Roger Clemens did? Make your proclamation against team owners and the various commissions, and move on to something that matters! The sad thing is that they really act like they believe they're doing something important. They're worthless. Please be more aware of your representatives, and give them as much attention (more)as you do the presidental election. Because they're really pathetic. They never seem to find the time to do anyting of value.

i'm much more embarrassed & ashamed about them passing retroactive immunity for the telecoms.

(but not as much as in having an immoral idiot as president).

Oh, but you absolutely should be. Much, much more than even the president, for all the reasons above, and more! There is so much they could do.

I'm at the point where I'm sort of on autopilot when it comes to politics until the election is over. I'm still paying attention to what's going on, but I don't think there will be a whole lot of change until then.

The only people who seem to be any good at their jobs these days are those who truly do the lord's work. Those who make chocolate, for example.

I just heard on the radio that the three biggest chocolate manufacturers in Europe are being investigated for price fixing.

I agree that Congress is an embarrassment. But what's even more embarrassing is the people that elected them.
