1. That made me smile.

If they did that we definitely wouldn't have time to Impeach.

[mcctatas]

2. Is that before or after the hearings on the pork lobby's undue

influence over competetive eating?

[DefenseLawyer]

4. Competitive eating has flown under the radar for too long!

Every year untold hundreds of kids try to mimic their favorite competitive eating stars by eating a whole box of delicious Hostess Twinkies or those little chocolate donuts, result in stomach aches for all. What about the children?????

[Dr.Phool]

3. But, what about instant replay?

5. Thank god the Congress has taken up this truly important problem

I hope they spend weeks and weeks on the designated hitter rule, too.

[kerstin]

8. Now THAT'S something to get steamed about!

In political terms, that would be like having one set of rules for the Republicans and one for the Democrats!

Hey wait a minute...:freak:

6. ...to be followed by a hearing on the NFL's time out rule.

[ProgressiveFool]

9. Is that a separate discussion over the one investigating the material components

used in the making of challenge flags? A person could get hurt, you know.

[Individualist]

10. Oh yeah! They're determined to spend lots of time on each of these important issues.

[Ilsa]

14. I've always had issues with that 2-minute warning thingy. nt

[Bluzmann57]

7. I don't know...

There are some umpires who should be investigated. Go get'em Waxman! :sarcasm:

11. Good Lord, the "infield fly rule"?

He must know the designated batter thing is causing nightmares in the N.L., and then there's that strike zone synchronization debacle. What a wuss!!

[Gothmog]

12. There is a classic Law Review Article (satire) on the Infield Fly Rule

One of the funniest things that I have read was a law review article on the infield fly rule. It was a parody of a real law review article but had well researched footnotes and was in classic law review article format.

[Kadie]

13. and next on the agenda, the designated hitter. n/t

[RL3AO]

15. Damn infield fly rule.

:)

16. I hope they move on to Lacrosse and bowling next

We have to root out corruption everywhere it can possibly exist.
