Who's Number 1? Not These Morons!

While the financial services sector nears collapse, the most left-wing president and congress prepare to force more federal government in all Americans' lives, it is great to know that some members of congress have their priorities straight.
Whats more is that this is being led by. . .REPUBLICANS!
Look, the way that college football chooses it national champion has been a source of conversation over most of my lifetime. I am not a fan of the Bowl Conspiracy Series. I'm sorry, the Bowl Championship Series. My bad!
While I was growing up in the dreaded 1970s, I remember that there were four big bowl games and they were all on New Year's Day. The Cotton, Orange, Rose and Sugar Bowls. Somehow, chosen by coaches and or sportswriters, a bowl game had the top ranked team in the United States. And if they won, they generally won the national championship as determined by the AP and UPI polls.
An imperfect system but one that worked good enough for me.
Now, some members of congress, particularly Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) and Congressman Joe Barton (R-TX) seem to want to get the federal government involved in how the current BCS concept is. And, well, it is not all that good.
The real thrust of this is that Sen. Hatch and many a Utahan are upset that the University of Utah Utes went undefeated. And that they were not even remotely considered for the so-called national championship game.
To quote a former president, I feel their pain.
But is this really a good use of Sen. Hatch and the senate's time in this seemingly endless stream of "crisis" befalling our great nation?
NO! NO! NO!
It is stupidity like this that makes the Republican party seem not ready for prime time.
Yes, Sen. Hatch can be upset. But a better use of his time would be how these universities and their tenured professors are brainwashing our youts into mindless marshmallows. Brainwashing them into mindless socialists. Now, that would be a cause I could get behind.
Again, let the college football powers to be figure out how they can determine who the football champion should be. The federal government has no, I mean no, role in this monstrosity.
Time for Sen. Hatch and Congressman Barton to put their angst away and start discussing the real issues that need to be discussed.
It is clear that these guys are not number one.
