A House subcommittee approved legislation Wednesday aimed at forcing college football to switch to a playoff system to determine its national champion ...The bill, which faces steep odds, would ban the promotion of a postseason NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision game as a national championship unless it results from a playoff. The measure passed by voice vote in a House Energy and Commerce Committee subcommittee, with one audible "no," from Rep. John Barrow, D-Ga.
"With all due respect, I really think we have more important things to spend our time on," Barrow said before the vote, although he stressed he didn't like the current Bowl Championship Series, either. (continue reading at AP, hat tip R.J. Godlewski)
Most sports fans I know want this change to a playoff system in college football, but is this really the business of congress, and don't they have more important things to do?
They don't seem to have time to investigate the Fort Hood Islamic terrorist massacre by Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, oh no. But they do find time to investigate the White House party crashers.
They don't have time to investigate the climate-gate hoax, which will cost this country and individual citizens money we do not have for something that does not exist. No no no time for a world-wide scam.
So good to know they have their priorities in order.
Congress is no better than Tiger Woods. Seems his sponsors are getting fed up with his arrogance and immorality just like American voters are getting fed up with politicians getting fat off the working people and failing to listen to our wishes.
Perhaps congress could investigate the controversial Muslim speaker invited to Ford Hood to whitewash Islam.
Wait until you see the part about how they say that Muslim speaker Dr. Louay Safi was vetted. If they would of did a simple Google search, they would of known about this man. “Dr. Safi has served as Executive Director and Director of Research for the International Institute of Islamic Thought (IIIT).” For the record IIIT gave their stamp of approval to the Islamic Law book that I mention just below. Once again our military leaders have outdone themselves!Did Dr. Safi tell the truth about jihad? Of course not.
From the Reliance of the Traveller, A classic Manual of Islamic Sacred Law
From the Jihad Chapter
THE RULES OF WARFAREo9.10 It is not permissible (A: in jihad) to kill women and children unless they are fighting against the Muslims.
I am pretty sure that the US military is fighting against Muslims, in at least four Islamic countries.
Hat tip to Pam.
Is there anything these cretins don't want to meddle in, apart from the real issues crying out for attention that is.
"....just like American voters are getting fed up with politicians getting fat off the working people and failing to listen to our wishes."
If only the voters could yank their sponsorship like businesses can.

Congress can cause a drought in a wet dream.
