A great tool?

A Fantasy Congress was sent to me by a friend (no this time it's not a type-o its fa real) looks outstanding and hilarious! Its just like fantasy sports it's just...congress. points are scored when your Members of Congress (MCs) introduce and push bills throught the process.

This from the Home page:


We The Creators of this site, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish Fantasy Congress for the United States of America.

In this game, we give you the power to draft and manage a team of members from the U.S. Congress. Enjoy our gift to you, o great nation: the power to play politics!™

Of course my first thought was how cool this would be in class. Then came the images of kids walking down the hall all excited saying shit like "YESSSS, Charlie Rangel got that bill out of committee! Say what you want about the way the dude talks cause he can negotiate the fuck out of a tax on windfall war profits yo!" (of course I would have to write them up for "language" but I would be glowing with pride the whole time)

I'm still laughing....Anyone used it?
