One would think our elected officials had enough on their plates
right now without also worrying about college football championships. Wars, health care, enonomy tanking, homelessness, foreclosures, and on and on. Why the worry about BCS selections?

<snip>Everyone from President Barack Obama on down to fans has criticized how college football determines its top team. Now senators are getting off the sidelines to examine antitrust issues involving Bowl Championship Series.

<snip>Obama and some members of Congress favor a playoff-type system to determine the national champion. The BCS features a championship game between the two top teams in the BCS standings, based on two polls and six computer ratings.

2. And you as well. It's bothersome to me when I see them on teevee,
going on and on in the various hearings - some of which are very important, like baseball players taking steroids - and I wonder if there really was a question in all the rambling.

Why can't they just pose a question like "Isn't it true that because of what you did the country is screwn? And isn't it also true that you really don't care, and neither do most of the legislators in this room?"
