Congress doing it's job

I don't know about you, but I slept a lot better last night. I went to bed knowing deep down that the government is in good hands. Maybe it's just me, but last time I checked our country was at war in Iraq and Afghanistan. So many people in this country are suffering and losing their homes to foreclosure. Oh and did I mention it appears our country is thundering towards a recession. Maybe I forgot to mention that we are leaving an enormous debt for our children and grandchildren to pay off. New Orleans is still suffering and in need of help. If you are in Congress you might need to think about these issues. Nah what am I thinking!

Forget about Waterboarding and whether our country should be spying on us, no America and Congress needs to know, in fact we must know, is Roger Clemens a Vegan! I was listening on C-Span radio yesterday to the Congressional hearing. I know one thing Clemens is smart and crafty. One Congressman moved in and tried to pin him down on the Vegan issue.

Congressman: 'Are you a Vegan?"

Clemens is trapped! Even though I'm listening to it on the radio, I can tell he's squirming, and uncomfortable. How is he going to get out of this jam? He certainly can't throw a fastball or a curveball this time can he? In a stroke of genius he decides not to answer the question. Does he plead the fifth? No he's too tricky for that.

Clemens: "Um, uh, um, uh, um I uh, I don't know what that is!"

I don't know about you, but did you notice he didn't answer the question? The Congressman didn't press him on this either. I'm thinking Roger really does know what a Vegan is, he's just misremembering. I came away shocked and confused. I still don't know if he's a vegan. I also don't know if he went to Jose Canseco's party. Jose says he didn't come. Jose had hurt feeling. A lot of other people say he didn't come too. I'm not sure if they had hurt feelings too. The Rocket says he's produced a golf receipt proving he was on the course instead of at the party. But Brain McNamee insists he was there. I don't know about you, but this steroid issue isn't all that important. I want to know if Roger was at that party, and if he wasn't why did he stiff Jose! Does Jose still have hurt feelings?

But more importantly someone has to find out if Roger is a vegan. Most vegans I know weigh about 8 pounds, so my hunch is Roger isn't a vegan. I want answers to these pressing questions. I hope someone follows up. But at least we know members of Congress are working hard on the real issues confronting our country. Who cares about all those other issues I talked about earlier. Is Roger Clemens a vegan? Is Jose Canseco still sulking? We need to know, we want answers!
