Bread and Circuses

With the economy reeling, the recession threatening to turn into a depression, the Dow in the toilet, the national debt at record levels, joblessness and foreclosures spiking . . . I for one am glad that a senior member of the Senate Finance Committee (as well as Taxation and Judiciary, among other committees) is focused on what really matters. Namely, making sure once and for all that we Americans get a better system of determining quien es mas macho in college football.
From the Deseret News:
Hatch, of course, made news last week by saying he is planning a Senate hearing into possible antitrust violations by the BCS and may introduce legislation to “fix” the system by requiring a playoff or some other system that allows all teams the possibility of playing their way to a championship. . . .
Hatch said, “It isn’t fair. You have a team like the University of Utah (which was the nation’s only undefeated team) that not only went to a lesser bowl, but kicked the daylights out of one of the best teams in the country that was rated No. 1 a number of times in the year.”
I only hope that Sen. Hatch has time to address the designated hitter rule while he’s at it.
