In case you missed it, PA's senior Senator has, in this age of Constitution shredding, illegal wars, other such impeachable offenses, decided on the perfect target for an investigation: the NFL.

That's right, Sen. Specter wants to open a Congressional investigation, a la the Mitchell investigation into steroids in baseball (because, of course, we know that nobody in the NFL uses steroids), into the so-called 'spygate' controversy, in which the Patriots are accused of stealing other teams' defensive signals. Specter's ire is particularly provoked by the suggestion that the Patriots, in effect, cheated the Eagles out of a Super Bowl win.

On the off chance that Sen. Specter or someone from his staff is reading this blog, good job, Snarlin' Arlen. I'm sure that we can all agree that, in this time of Constitutional crisis, the #1 thing upon which the US Congress can possibly spend its time is an investigation of a blanking football team. Brilliant. Positively brilliant.

Bread + circuses, anyone?
