Baseball players must not lie to Congress

[malaise]

but Congress can lie to their constituents over and over again.
Here comes the Clemens circus.

In the case of The United States v. Roger Clemens, the government thinks it's helping somebody. Not metaphorically or symbolically, but literally. The government thinks this is good. This is something we want. This is helping.

The government thinks this trial will remind everyone -- that's you, and that's me -- that lying under oath is wrong. The government also thinks this trial will serve as a lesson for all you kids out there that steroids are bad. Don't take them, little Johnny Ballplayer. This is your reminder. That's what the government thinks.

Here's what I think about The United States v. Roger Clemens: I think the government's case is run by idiots.

This isn't a Tea Party rant about Big Government sticking its nose into our affairs. And this isn't a liberal plea for compassion toward Clemens, because he has been through so much already. No. This is neither of those.

This is steroid fatigue. That's all this is. I'm tired of the whole issue, and I'm preaching to the choir because I know you're tired of it. And the irony doesn't elude me, because here I am complaining about steroid fatigue even as I slog through another set of steroid-story dumbbells.

2. Four Sports Scandals That Gave Bush Cover

...... and a fifth scandal that should end his presidency.

Good for the goose. Good for the gaggle of wannabe media manipulators. And as long as people pay attention to the sideshow, who knows what'll turn up missing?

Hey! Anyone see that Bill of Rights anywhere? Set it down here next to the remote control for a minute and now it's gone!
