Where's my social security?

That's what I'm going to be asking when I'm 65. That is, of course, hinging on the fact that I will one day return to Somerset County where one's average life span is cut dramatically short because deer run rampant across every road, darting in front of cars crack gang turf wars.

Why will I be asking this? Well, for one reason... our national debt is deeper than the pores of Ray Liotta's face. But another reason includes our taxpayer's money (Note: I did not mention my tax dollars...because I am unemployed) is going towards Congressional hearings where even the Congressman leading the hearings feel are unnecessary. If I could borrow words from my professor's blog, he states that

Given this is not a new occurrence, why are we so obsessed with this story? More importantly, why is the U.S. Senate involved? Don't they have more important things to do? Can't they simply mandate that MLB deal with this issue and correct the problems? Fire the players? Demand repayment of salaries? There are probably a dozen different ways to deal with this rather than what we are doing!

Echoing the same feelings, yet less subtly, was Da Great White Cousin, who exclaimed:

Why is congress wasting peoples money with this Clemens crap? What a freaking waste
...who gives a shit? It'l take something bad to happen to get people back to their senses. [I bet] Clemens is praying for a tsunami in queens. It's just a way for these congressmen to get up and spout off.

Well I couldn't agree with his last statement more. First off, this should be an issue the league should deal with itself. The only argument I feel where this may not be true is if it can be proven that the owners or the one-time owner, Bud Selig, was involved in promoting the steroid/HgH culture in baseball.

Pretty soon, we are just going to assume just as all 16 year old girls in Western Tennessee have webcams in their bedrooms, that all baseball players have used some sort of illegal substances to enhance their performance. I think the best analogy I've heard so far comes from a guy on the Metrorail in Coconut Grove who said "it's like high-level porn. You hardly ever see girls that haven't had work done. Same as the major leagues?" Well, baseball isn't porn and it shouldn't be. Well, unless you're married to Kris Benson.

p.s. Miley Cyrus' mouth is weird, isn't it. No really, look when she sings next time. It's just weird.
