Right now I wouldn't want to be in former major league pitcher Roger Clemens cleats. In case you don't follow the news or professional sports, ex-Red Sox hurler Clemons is currently on trial (as of late August to early September 2010) for allegedly "lying under oath, perjury" and being untruthful to Congress in regards to the use of steroids and other banned substances to improve his game as a major leaguer. I have no idea whether Clemens stretched or broke the truth or not, but in these tough economic times and amid an exorbitant unnecessary wartime (both in Iraq and Afghanistan); you'd think our elected so-called leaders of either party or none would concentrate on matters to end or alleviate our myriad crises. As a matter of fact, (though I know it will never happen in a million years) it's a shame that politicians in general and the U.S. Congress in particular cannot be charged with perjury or even treason for lies and exaggerations of "the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth" for not leveling with or being sincere with their constituents and the American people; especially when their votes make our lives more difficult or unpleasant.
