Our Senate is killing me

[fabsroman]

The Senate has yet to pass the Economic Stimulus plan, but the Senate Judiciary Committee has now asked Roger Goodell, the Commissioner of the NFL, to come in and testify as to why the "Spygate" Patriot tapes and related documents were destroyed. Honestly, I think this is utterly ridiculous. We are involved in a War on Terrorism, with tons of troops overseas; the economy is tanking; Congress passed a one year AMT patch right after Christmas that has stalled the IRS on accepting and processing tax returns; and now they have Roger Goodell scheduled to testify next week.

I think they have a lot more important things to do than to police the NFL. Plus, this entire spygate thing is such a minor infraction and the Patriots and their coach were fined a good amount by the NFL and the team lost its first round pick for next year. What more is there to review or wonder about? Next thing you know, Congress will be reviewing how I punish my children.

Like I said, we should flush the current Congress down the drain and elect all new Senators and Representatives. Then, maybe something will get done.
