Fantasy Congress

[Der Blaue Engel]

Finally, a game that's made for *us* :D Found this in my hometown paper:

Online game lets you draft team of legislators, score their efforts ...Oh, and you just might learn something about government, too

With the midterm election over, what's a political junkie to do?

For those die-hards who can't get enough politics, it may be time to draft a Fantasy Congress team.

The game is catching fire among wonks and political observers at a speed that recently had been reserved for scandal.

...

The idea hit Lee harder than a piece of bad legislation when he noticed how excited his roommate got about fantasy football. Lee couldn't muster up such enthusiasm for football, but politics, well, that was a whole different game.

Okay, so maybe I'm the last person to hear about this, but I thought it was cool. :)
