Thomas Paine Says

'Tis the business of little minds to shrink; but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death.

Everybody Have A Nice Recess?

Now let's start caving!

How best to announce to America that the people's Congress is back in session and ready to do the business of fixing the nation? Talk baseball.

The theory goes that people care about sports and the media will cover opening sessions above the fold if the hearings are about sex or sports. Therefore, Henry Waxman asked the Justice Department of the United States of America to investigate shortstop Miguel Tejada.

Seriously.

And we wonder why Americans don't think Congress has done anything worthwhile. Maybe it's because when we're not bending over for a hated President and his loathed Republican lackeys we are dicking around with bullshit like the Baltimore Orioles.

I don't particularly care about baseball, so can we put this steroid thing aside and get back to what we normally do, wholesale and unnecessary capitulation?

Good.
