Slow times in Congress

"WASHINGTON -- Taking aim at a BCS system he said "consistently misfires," a member of Congress planned to introduce legislation Wednesday that would force college football to adopt a playoff to determine the national champion.

"Rep. Joe Barton of Texas, the ranking Republican on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, didn't specify what sort of playoff he wants -- only that the BCS should go."

The view here ... solve something a little more immportant, say the nation's fiscal crisis, the rising unemployment rate. Find some way to restore retirement funds that are going up in smoke.
