The country's burning and a GOP'er is worried about football playoffs

After solving all our national security problems, the deficit, unemployment, world hunger and every other problem facing this world, Congress has decided to fix college football? Oh wait, all those problems haven't been solved, but Congress is looking at ways to change the BCS title game. Seriously. This isn't satire.

Hogan over at the Redstate blog is absolutely livid.

    Congressman Joe Barton (quasi-R - TX) apparently has so much time on his hands that he is teaming up with like-minded big-government nationalists to try to tell the American people and colleges around the nation how it must determine it’s college football national champion. Indeed, his bill has passed out of the House Commerce, Trade and Consumer Protection Subcommittee – and Barton has had “good conversations” with those bastions of limited government, Henry Waxman and Barack Obama, about moving the bill forward.

    The point is this: ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND? SERIOUSLY? We’re at war with crazy terrorists who want to kill us… We’re fighting the biggest assault on liberty in our lifetimes with the likely Washington takeover of our healthcare system… We are bleeding money out of every pores of our collective body… and YOU idiots want to “fix” the college football playoff system?

I guess the only good thing about this is that it gives Congress a little less time to destroy our country. I shudder to think what Congress will stick it's hands into next.
