Actively working against U.S. citizens, Congress decides Miguel Tejada needs oversight

Steroids in baseball are a big deal to many, myself included. Of course, I’m also a sportswriter.

As for where steroids in baseball and sports rank on the list of issues Congress needs to deal with? Somewhere between mandating that kids can’t wear too loose of shorts and whether America’s Next Top Model should be officially recognized by America for her achievement.

So Congress is taking on the steroids in baseball issue:

“Tuesday’s hearing raises big issues for Tejada and Magowan”

In more than four hours of commentary and confrontation on steroids in baseball Tuesday, members of a House Committee asked questions, made demands and pontificated. They praised Sen. George Mitchell for his report and they interrogated Bud Selig and Donald Fehr. Their inquiries and their colloquy raised a number of questions.

Worst health care in the industrialized world? Meh.

Wheels falling off the economy? Wev.

A President still desperately doing anything he can to start his third unsuccessful war? Old news.

But Miguel Tejada is going to have to face the music.

Sometimes, I really have to believe that Congress is actively working against us.
