The 9/11 Commission papered over the Saudi involvement.

The Warren Commission left a lot of questions unanswered.

Reviewing the Congressional Commissions of the 101st through 116th congresses found centennial commissions and commissions on issues that still are unresolved - hunger, weapons of mass destruction, terrorism, drug abuse, housing, etc. and lots of centennials.

Although credit is due for the Preservation of Jazz Commission.

Then there's the Tilden Hayes Commission where the presidency was given to the guy who had more members of his party on the commission.

As George Carlin said - "When you're born into this world, you're given a ticket to the freak show. If you're born in America, you get a front row seat."

Bring on the Commission. Gimme some popcorn.
