Interestingly enough this article hit the Post today. It seems that 
there are a lot more deaths from injuries in TB racing than "officially" 
reported. This hearing just got more interesting. Congressmen make a 
living grandstanding standing up for what is "right." After reading this 
article I'd sure hate to be testifying on this issue.
