Having Fixed The National Debt, It's On To Bigger Things

The stupidity of Democrats marches on --- Pitchers and catchers reported to spring training this week, and Congress is giving Major League Baseball a warm welcome. Two Democrats, Senators Dick Durbin and Frank Lautenberg, are announcing hearings on the use of chewing tobacco by professional baseball players:

Smokeless tobacco undermines the positive image of the sport and sends a dangerous message to young fans, who may be influenced by the players they look up to as role models.

Tobacco-related products kill 443,000 Americans every year, and each day 1,000 American children and teenagers become new regular smokers.

While tobacco companies spend millions on ads tailored to attract young people to use tobacco products, MLB is undoubtedly complicit in attracting many young people to try smokeless tobacco after seeing their baseball heroes chew tobacco.

And this is what passes for intelligence in the Democrat party. Well at least they aren't off trying to start a civil war like they did in the mid 1800s.
