Do not lie to the guvmint!
Federal grand jury considers Clemens indictment

A federal grand jury has been convened to hear testimony from witnesses as early as this week to decide on pressing charges of lying under oath against baseball star Roger Clemens, ESPN reported.

http://rawstory.com/news/afp/Federal_grand_jury_considers_Clemen_01122009.html

They will get you. They may not get you that day or even the next week. It may even be a few years.
However, they will get you. Clemens had his name written in the little black book that they use to
remember the cases. (Rusty Hardin didn't help.) It is in indelible ink.

Clemens dissed Waxman and all those guvmint agents looking at him. They got Marion Jones and others.
They will get Clemens. Steroids and PEDs - Pffffft! Lying - Doom!

5. I think the boy king still has his fingerprints on baseball.

Latest example comes from a quote from his former righthand partner in crime:

“I’m optimistic by nature. And I’m going to take this experience and things that I’ve learned and hopefully be a productive member of our community,” he said. “I’m very wide open. I’ve had some people say I’m very fortunate that I’m at a point in my life where if I wanted to do something completely different — be baseball commissioner, for example, I would love a job in baseball, a plug there — I can do it.” -- Alberto Gonzales

3. I don't think it's a good use of money or time.
I was just making an observation.

6. Roger Clemens didn't have to show up at that hearing. He was "hubris laden" as they say on the
internet.

He was so EAGER to "write his story" in a public forum that he didn't worry about lying. Then he got caught. Now he needs to worry.
