A Probe Is A Probe.

       There's a humorous, but not so funny, opinion piece in the Washington Post today. It seems that Congressman Jason Chaffetz , chair of the House Oversight committee, the same committee chair who investigated the Obama administration for everything but the kitchen sink, has no stomach to investigate the Trump administration for its myriad of questionable miscues
       But now comes word that Chaffetz has finally stepped up and is currently investigating the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It seems that this agency had the audacity to contract with Sesame Street and PBS to have Sid The Science Kid publicize the dangers of the Zika virus. Way ta go Jason.
       Even his constituents back in his home district in Utah at a town hall meeting gave him the raspberries. They suggested, somewhat emphatically, that he should "do your job." But can you imagine the nerve of the CDC to hire an orange, possibly illegal alien to speak on behalf of curbing a somewhat dangerous infectious  disease? Why, the unmitigated gall.
       Fortunately we have strong, brave representation  in Congress willing to take on an organization such as PBS and Sesame Street. And "where is this Sesame Street anyway?" Meanwhile the far less serious matters such as False news, alternative facts, Russian interference in our elections, non-existent voter fraud, national security discussions held in public dining halls and so many other issues will just have to wait their turn while this vital Sid the Science Kid issue is fully investigated and the guilty parties are properly chastised. Let's hear it for Jason Chaffetz.
