Good Article. I liked the last paragraph -
Quote:
We've now become so unmoored from common sense that we turn to Darrell Issa, of all people -- the Republican largely responsible for the recall that handed the California governorship to a known steroid user -- as the closest thing to a voice of reason. "We are now heading down a road that starts looking like Tail Gunner Joe McCarthy's," Issa told the Albany Times Union. "We're looking for steroid users; we're looking for people who knew people. ... Congress has never prosecuted or pursued users of drugs. Pushers, yes. Users, no," he said, perhaps forgetting, in a moment generally full of clarity, the federal laws that punish those possessing drugs. "This really is about getting headline news."
It is about the headlines. There were 4 pages in the front section of my newspaper about this this morning (of course I live in Clemens hometown so it makes sense) but the article about the death of the major Hezbollah leader was somewhere on page 12 or worse. It's theatre!

Hee at this line
