The Columnist Manifesto

My friend L left this message on my answering machine this morning:

Q. What is going on with Congress and this Schiavo thing? Are they insane, or what? Have they lost their minds?

Yes, L, the majority of Congress have in fact lost their minds. I'll get around to blogging about that in more detail shortly, but I'm still dealing with Congress's mere neurosis over steroid use in baseball.

It turns out that I have a lot to say about steroid use in baseball. Please bear with me for the continuation of what turns out to be a multi-part series.
