I do not give a flying fugg

[malaise]

which athlete is using performance enhancing drugs. Athletes have been using drugs from the days of the Greeks and Romans.

I do care about Habeas Corpus
I do care about spying on citizens
I do care about war crimes
I do care about exposing Valerie Plame
I do care about lying about WMDs
I do care about war for profit
I do care about torture
I do care about making sure that no executive branch gets away with
murder.


Will Congress and M$M stop insulting my intelligence and impeach/expose this executive branch on steroids.

[hobbit709]

1. DAMN RIGHT!

[Olney Blue]

2. I TOTALLY AGREE

[madokie]

3. they're all just buying time now

[sutz12]

4. Well, I care, but it's about 30 items below your list on my agenda.

:shrug:

[sheelz]

5. and

square pegs and round holes

[sheelz]

6. what about cock and bull

[malaise]

9. LOL

Seriously I will not have these morons insult my intelligence.
M$M is a cartel protecting Bush, Cheney and the corporations.

Chris Dodd hasn't received 15 seconds of coverage for one of the most important speeches in decades, but every channel provided live coverage of some crap about athletes on drugs. Spare me.

[Squatch]

7. As an athlete, myself, I care...

but I don't think the US Congress has any business poking their noses in it.

[malaise]

16. The NFL used to provide locker room full of syringes

uppers, downers and anything else needed back the 70s. Watch that classic documentary Fields of Fire - HBO. This is hypocrisy on steroids.

[Arctic Dave]

8. True Dat

Side note: When did the Fug word come back into play? I haven't seen that since I read Nornam Mailer's The Naked and the Dead, way back in the day. Which is probably one of the finest war commentaries ever, IMHO.

[malaise]

12. I use it often

but I did add a g. I love Mailer...great book.

[ixion]

10. spot on

:applause:

[stellanoir]

11. Isn't it totally unbelievable that there is such scrutiny over what one athlete

does to his own frigging body than what happens to the whole country, our Constitution, and our formerly precious civil liberties ?

It's truly nutz,

on edit- had to fix a vowel

[malaise]

14. Agreed

what's more some of they legal drugs they advertise 24/7 have more side effects.

[stellanoir]

18. yeah I've gone through several periods of my life

when I never watched the tube. I don't know precisely when they started advertising prescription drugs. It used to be Bayer aspirin and Pepto Bismol.

Now it only encourages acute hypochondria.

It's crap.

"Ask you doctor if . . ."

Used to be that if one had a problem, they'd go to the doctor.

And not need an ad to suggest it.

Ughhh

[malaise]

19. It is actually hysterically funny

listening to the side effects. I remember when the doctor told you which medication you needed. Now it's "Ask you doctor if . . ."

And they are holding hearings - fugg them.

[DesertRat]

13. Completely agree! k&r

[Hamlette]

15. agree!!

what IS going on with Congress?

Throw ALL the bums out!

[me b zola]

17. I think your OP would make a great letter to congress-critters

You should send it. :thumbsup:

[malaise]

20. You can all send it

:D

[kimmerspixelated]

21. You got it!

[malaise]

22. And so do 71% of persons voting here

[Kolesar]

23. With you, but you are going to have to learn how to spell fuck

[malaise]

24. LOL

Sometimes this version is more effective.

[spanone]

25. k&r

[Swamp Rat]

26. yep

[BeHereNow]

27. It's laughable at this point... EVERY station I flipped to this morning was blanketed with it.

I actually did have to laugh out loud at this point.
We are so screwed.

BHN

[malaise]

30. Even Tweety found time for this crap

but there was no time for Chris Dodd.

[Annces]

28. You could say the same about sports in general

I think it is a cult, but an accepted one. Turn off the brains, and cheer for a team.

[malaise]

29. I love sport

but I have no illusions about its role in the set up.

[lonestarnot]

31. Yell fire.

[progressoid]

32. fuckin-a! I can't believe this was the lead story on the newzzz. What a shame.
