Never mind that 18,000 people die in this country every year because they can't afford medical care, never mind that tens of thousands more lose everything because they can't pay their medical expenses, never mind that millions of children in the US have no health coverage and the number is growing every year, never mind that the country is losing , not gaining jobs, that education spending is being cut to the bone, that Osama is plotting his next attack even as we speak -let's show our leadership by going after Barry Bonds and his evil steroid use!! It's nothing more than a pathethic diversion in my opinion.

What sickens me most is how the media falls behind it all like ducklings. I really believe that if we had a president who announced that Jews are corrupting society the media would immediately follow with programs about suspect Jews and their corrupting influence. They're brainless, useless and spineless.

Sorry, I'm ranting but I needed that.

Ditto, Bush is trying to get everybody's attention off the real issues......High taxes, lost jobs, Bush protecting peeps from Enron, no WMD in Iraq. I believe the WMD did exist, but were moved and/or well hidden.

So, stir the public up w/ BS to get the focus off the real issuses.
