Past Its Expiration Date

Is the US Congress useful anymore? Perhaps no. This story from today signals loud and clear that the Congress has officially jumped the shark into irrelevance:

Calling the Bowl Championship Series "deeply flawed," the chairman of a congressional committee has called a hearing on the controversial system used to determine college football's national champion.

I think it is now time for Congress to pass only two types of law: 1) one that will turn Congress into a part-time institution, and 2) others that serve only to repeal wasteful, irrelevant, and confiscatory laws already on the books.

First, Congress investigates steriods in baseball, now they want to get to the bottom of the BCS. Isn't there a war going on or something?
