OK we may not agree on Health Care reform, taxation, firearm control, or even on the existence of the tooth fairy, but seriously… I couldn’t make this $h1t up.

The bill, which faces steep odds, would ban the promotion of a postseason NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision game as a national championship unless it results from a playoff. The measure passed by voice vote in a House Energy and Commerce Committee subcommittee, with one audible “no,” from Rep. John Barrow, D-Ga.

Why the hell is any congressional committee even debating this? Don’t we have more important things like Terrorism? Health Care? A failing economy? A few have voiced opposition to this thankfully.

In a statement before the vote, BCS executive director Bill Hancock said, “With all the serious matters facing our country, surely Congress has more important issues than spending taxpayer money to dictate how college football is played.”

The subcommittee chairman, Rep. Bobby Rush, an Illinois Democrat who co-sponsored the bill, said, “We can walk and chew gum at the same time.”

… and we wonder why the important $h1t never gets done or worse the stuff that is done is all f’d up and bogged down with pork.
