This is Your Brain, and this is the Press on Steroids

Today the President set the nation on a road to recovery from the devastation of eight years of Republican mismanagement and social oppression, and i am writing about something even more alarming than the leg-end of Bush [and the gang that lied its way into a trillion dollar war for nothing more than the feeding of friends]; for first they put the press on a squad of tanks and Bradleys and told them they were in a war, and then they put the press on steroids in baseball...in both cases it was the American people who were taken for a ride.  Think back, embedded press and the invasion rides up to Baghdad, the crazy guy in the red tam keeps denying there is an army invading, and we are lobbing missiles at Saddam, and A SANDSTORM HITS AND GROUNDS OUR AIR COVER FOR SEVERAL DAYS LEAVING OUR TROOPS EXPOSED  but nothing really happened...I mean think  "Tet offensive", well that Administration was led by two fellows who also missed the Tet offensive... 54,000 young men and women died in the Vietnam war.

 Steroids now the press is on steroids... I would not mind all the fuss if it meant anything to anyone not ingesting the stuff...except for the children...we are teaching them that there is something to be gained from steroids, something so good that steroids have been banned..because it is cheating... preposterous is too good a word ..probably idiotic would be better...but factually unproven that these things make you better at anything except early illness, organ damage and premature death. SO WE SHOULD STOP ACTING LIKE DRUG PUSHERS SELLING RUMORS OF THINGS THAT OUR YOUNG PEOPLE WILL BELIEVE...sort of like the one about Saddam attacked the towers on 9/11... remember that one...

Pulling wings from Flies...

There has been a disgrace in baseball, that affects all Americans... a disgrace that brings shame upon a society:  cheating...no not ARod or Bonds, they are people who fell for the idea that they needed a chemical to be better than they were, as if a chemical could do that...the pushers say so but...we really know better. 

THE DISGRACE AND SHAME is on the federal prosecutors who broke the faith of the right to privacy.  The people who permitted their bodies to be searched did so on the contract and agreement of anonymity, that results would be used and not disclosed for any other purpose than baseball and its drug policy.  The the federal prosecutors seized the evidence, the confidential searches of bodies, and have systematically, carelessly, negligently leaked it to the press ever since.

We do not need to consider the effects of steroids on the users, it is their problem and theirs alone.  If the drugs were illegal then we have a public issue but that is not the issue.  The issue is the electronic drawing and quartering of Barry Bonds, the desire to divert public attention away from horrendous management of the federal government, a war that someone lied to a nation to get it done...hundred billion dollars in profits to war contractors, many well connected to the failed Bush administration; yes and the nation just NEEEEEDDS to know if Barry Bonds lied.  Unlike some other lies, no one died, a trillion dollars did not go down the toilet, and hundreds of thousands of people did not become casualties of war, oh and the US economy..oh never mind that would be like pulling wings from flies.

The Press on Steroids...

Well here is the problem, little Johnny can't hit four home runs per game in Little league, and clearly he needs to do this if he is to realize Dad's dream of being the highest paid player in the history of the universe. So, we must give him steroids...its the only way and everyone knows it is how Bonds and ARod and McGuire hit all those home runs...in fact it seemed odd that so many of Bush's lawyers are out busting his former players[ some folks gave him the opportunity to own part of a baseball team, they liked his father...Texas Ranger stuff] because they should be out taking steroids too...so that they can hit home runs and be highly paid by someone like Bush... better yet..what they heck am I doing sitting here in this chair...writing a blog...I  should be taking steroids too... as a matter of fact... hey, Grandma...you could get a deal as the best hitting Grandma in history too... just need an anabol highball a day ...and lets call Scott Boras... Steroids are the answer, but what the heck is the question... could the question be...does an American have a right to privacy of their own body?  Does the word "confidential" mean anything if someone can make a buck... you can make a fortune violating Court Orders ?  and who knew that Sports Illustrated knew or cared anything about people with  clothes on?
