Congressional Priorities

Floundering economy...
Flu epidemic...
Busting busting deficit...
College football...

Yep, let's talk college football.

"I had hoped through a spirit of volunteerism, the BCS would decide to go to a playoff system," he said during a hearing today of the House Energy and Commerce Committee's trade, commerce and consumer protection subcommittee. "That hasn't happened yet. It is interesting that people of goodwill -- I think everybody on whatever side of the issue is a person of goodwill -- keeps trying to tinker with the current system."

"It's like communism, you can't fix it," he continued. "Sooner or later you are going to have to try a new model."

Barton's quote will get most of the attention, though he wasn't really saying that the BCS was Communism. The very fact that he and Committee Chairman Bobby Rush were wasting their time and our money holding this hearing should be the real story.
