I've noticed that a bunch of you guys who hang out in the "real world" area are pretty political minded. A lot of my friends are political researchers and they just started up a league on www.fantasycongress.com. You draft senators or representatives, just like a baseball or football team, and get points for what they do. It's pretty interesting.

Just passin it on.

Now, if we could live by the rules/ laws that our 'fantasy' Congress passed instead of our real one, that might make things worth while!

They're the same rules, you just get points for them. For example, if you have Barack Obama, and he cosigns a bill, you get 10 points. You get more if it's passed. It's helped get some non-politicos interested in the process. It also helps me keep tabs on how active my reps and sens are. Turns out they aren't doing crap.
