We're involved in two wars, our banking system has major problems, the economy is in a recession, unemployment is at a 27 year high, and "Texas Rep. Joe Barton, the top Republican on the House Energy and Commerce Committee" wants his committee to:
"...consider a proposal to ban the promotion of a postseason NCAA Division I football game as a national championship unless it's the outcome of a playoff."
You'd think Texans would be happy one of their teams is in the NCAA football championship.
