Congress must have solved the world's problems....

.....because otherwise we wouldn't be hearing about knuckleheaded stuff like this:

Members of Congress said today that they plan to introduce legislation creating a national steroids policy, a proposal immediately opposed by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and players' representatives from football and baseball.

"It is my full intention to move a bill," Rep. Bobby Rush, chairman of an Energy and Commerce subcommittee, said during a hearing that brought together the commissioners of baseball, the NFL, NBA and NHL as well as NCAA president Myles Brand.

I'm so glad that the problems regarding the economy, security, education, and health care vanished overnight so that Congress can tackle this important issue.

The debate about steroids at the federal level is taking on a similar aspect as the debate on guns. Nobody is enforcing existing laws, but members of Congress want to stack new laws on top of the existing, unenforced laws. Let's face it, the nonprescription possession of steroids is a felony. Why can't we start by prosecuting those who have admitted using these drugs illegally before we have any new big government start-up program to enforce new rules on private, non-taxpayer funded entities?
