I've said several times that it's not just the executive branch of our government that is falling down on the job, the legislative branch is also earning an F grade. Today's Boston Globe reports on the considerable decline in the number of Congressional hearings. Not only are there fewer hearings, but those that are held are on such trivial issues as steroids in baseball rather than something more substantive such as, for example, the situation at Guantanamo.
This is just another sign of the crappy times in which we live.
