A while back when I was getting annoyed about Congress having hearings
on the baseball steroids, it occurred to me that Congress was just  
asking
the wrong questions. They shouldn't bother with who was taking what.
Rather, they should just haul them in and ask, "You guys are pretty
screwed up, and we're quite disappointed. Tell me why we shouldn't
revoke the MLB antitrust exemption right now?"
