Performance-Enchancing Drugs

I wonder what they serve the Waxman Committee for lunch, but I bet that whatever it is has got Bovine Growth Hormone in it. Frankly a stellar career in sports seems to me more of a public good than early-onset puberty, but that's just me. If you're going to ban HGH from sports, you should also ban arthroscopic surgery--it unnaturally speeds recovery times and diminishes the effects of injury! The piety of these congresscritters is really astonishing. Think of the children! Soon they too will increase their muscle mass and cardiopulmonary efficiency with none of the negative side effects of traditional steroidals. Better! Faster! Safer! Healthier! BANNED!

Well, you know, thank Dog that congress has solved all the actual problems in the U.S. and can spend their time getting to the bottom of the whole War on Jocks thing.

Since they solved all the real problems it's surprising that I haven't seen any returning soldiers or seen people taking the "Bank Owned" signs off their property.

Oh well, I hope Waxman moves on to the scourge of unenforced pooper scooper laws next.

P.S. Can anyone say unresolved "couldn't get a date in high school because all the good looking chicks went out with the guys from Camp Northstar anyway" issues? Arlen, Henry, I'm lookin' at you.
