George Mitchell releases report, finds widespread cheating with performance-enhancing drugs in Major League Baseball. Welcome to America!

Former Senator George Mitchell has just released his much anticipated report. The report found widespread cheating with performance-enhancing drugs in Major League Baseball.

Free agent Roger Clemens, Andy Pettitte of the New York Yankees, Miguel Tejada of the Houston Astros, Eric Gagne of the Milwaukee Brewers and Paul Lo Duca of the Washington Nationals were among the most prominent former and current All-Stars to be mentioned in the lengthy 311 page report.

I say welcome to America!

Why is the report any surprise to anyone, when it's CLEAR to anyone who has eyes to see and ears to hear that our country turns a blind eye and shut ears to these kinds of unethical behavior, in a competitive quest to crown an eventual "winner".

Why does anyone suppose that Major League Baseball -- or any other aspect of life, like in politics (including those politicians who "bribe" their way into office) or play the "courthouse cha cha" or are the religious leaders who steal their parishes' money and live extravagantly, molest children or are involved in shady romantic relationships (and the list goes on) -- would be any different?
