A Lady's Ruminations

I'm also a usually quiet, reserved Lady, who enjoys books, tea, baking, and movies! I spend most of my time reading one of my favorite books or wishing I was reading my favorite books. My Grand Passion is history, particularly the Regency Period in England, when Jane Austen wrote, Lord Nelson defeated the French Fleet at Trafalgar, the Duke of Wellington defeated Napoleon, and men were Gentlemen and women Ladies. I cherish the thought of being a Lady and love manners, being proper, and having proper tea. My favorite tea is Twinings, especially Earl Grey or Prince of Wales. My specialty to make is Scones with Devon Cream. I am a Catholic and a Conservative.

We demand accountability from Congress!

Apparently, Congress believes in preaching what Congress does not practice:

CNN: Senate demands accountability on war.
After all, if Congress has time to dictate MLB policy, perhaps we need to find more things for them to do (Heaven forbid: they already have their fingers in plenty of pies, most of which they have no business touching) or perhaps they ought to spend less time in Washington, D.C., and more time in their states, paying attention to We the People.

I didn't realize that the Consitution gave Congress jurisdiction over Major League Baseball.

While I know Congress must have oversight, when do We the People get to have oversight on Congress? They seem to think they can do anything they want, spend any amount of money, and get away with it all.
