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.

America loves a winner!

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!

People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy. - Joss

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.
