Cheaters Always Prosper

Yesterday, baseball player and All-American hero Rafael Palmeiro was suspended for steroid use, only a few months after he testified to Congress, under oath, that he never used steroids.

Let this be a lesson to our youth, that if you aspire to become a great athlete, a corporate executive, or even president of the United States, the way to get there is to cheat, to lie, and to steal.

For while fans may now boo and hiss Palmeiro for a period of time, they'll soon forget. And even if they didn't, no one will ever take away his records or the millions of dollars he's earned.

Or didn't earn.
