Sports Business:
Super Bowl champions, the NY Giants, were welcomed home with one of New York's famous ticker tape parades. Unfortunately, most of the team was killed by excessive paper cuts.
Pitchers and catchers reported for spring training in February, with steroid suppliers and lawyers reporting later in the month.
Roger Clemens appeared before Congress denying any charges that he used HGH and steroids. Clemens said these false charges are, "Making me angry. You don't want to make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry."
But Congress is really serious about looking into this baseball steroid scandal. Personally, I hope they find out Osama Bin Laden is on steroids, then they can really go after him.
Government Business:
Democratic House leaders attempted force a vote to hold Ms. Harriet Miers, former White House counsel, in contempt of Congress. We had no idea Miers was taking steroids.
Congress passed the Economic Stimulus Bill giving many taxpayers a rebate of up to $1200. There was much debate over which taxpayers would receive a check, but both sides agreed, "Nothing for Wesley Snipes."
The government proposed a 28-mile virtual fence along the U.S.-Mexico border in Arizona to help prevent illegal border crossing by virtual smugglers and virtual immigrants.
It's the 225th anniversary of the Great Seal of the United States, so the State Department opened a new touring exhibit to trace the history of the seal and dispel the myths that it is a secret code by the Freemasons that leads to a fabulous treasure. When asked to comment, Nicholas Cage said, "Drat!"
Senate Democrats rejected the Attorney General's request to delay new sentencing changes for crimes involving crack cocaine which will let nearly 20,000 federal inmates seek reductions in their crack cocaine sentences; just in time to vote for Obama. The Democrats say these felons could then go out and buy crack cocaine, which will help stimulate the economy.
