Yesterday’s Thoughts

From Slate about the House hearing on performance enhancing drugs is baseball:

The strangest moment of the day comes when Rep. Paul E. Kanjorski, D-Penn., asks Canseco what he would do if scientists invented a “smart pill” that would make you a genius but take five or ten years off your life. “The Chemist” pauses for five seconds, pondering this hypothetical pharmacological advancement. “You know,” he says, “that’s a very tough question.”

Bzzzzzzzzzt! Wrong answer, Jose.

Right answer, “Force all members of the House to take one with their oath of office.”
