If professional baseball players want to take steroids — and it sure seems like they do — that is an issue that Major League Baseball has to deal with. But what possible business is it of Congress?

Why doesn’t Bud Selig say into his microphone, “What the hell am I doing here?”
That’s more than one question. Sorry.

This is the same Congress that recently voted to declare Christianity an important religion. What’s your next question? (And yes, I’m serious.)
