This Roger Clemens mess

    I have tried to resist watching any news concerning Roger Clemens, much less write about it.  But it seems like Capitol Hill might have more important things to do than to have a congressional hearing on whether or not a baseball player ever cheated.

On the same day - today, Congressman Specter is meeting with Roger Goodell, the commissioner of the NFL to ask him about the New England Patriots cheating.  These hearings seem awfully strange.  Aren’t there more important things for congress to do besides policing of self-policing agencies such as the MLB or the NFL?

I was hoping to post something that dealt with our scripture passages for today, but my mind is on the ineptitude of A) leagues of professional athletes that cheat to win who think that we’re dumb enough to believe that Roger Clemens wife ever took HGH and that we need justice for an NFL team who cheated, but then lost anyway and the ineptitude of B) a government who feels the need in the midst of an election year and on the brink of a recession to meet with sports professionals.

Anyway, our scriptures for today are Exodus 34:1-9, 27-28 and Matthew 18:10-14.
