Anyone for "Fantasy Congress?"

If Fantasy Fishing was thought to be the end of the line (no pun intended), this next one has to be the Sign of the Fantasy Apocalypse. Yeah, you can actually go to a website to sign up and play "Fantasy Congress."

You draft a group of Legislators to form your "fantasy congress team." Points are then awarded depending on your Legislator's parliamentary actions.

Here's a scouting report given on a newly elected member of the House of Representatives.

"STEVE PEARCE, of New Mexico. A Republican who goes out big for small business, security and other hot republican issues. We are betting his border control initiatives will end up as committee scratch paper, but if even a modest percent of his legislation moves, Pearce could be one of the highest scoring Republicans. Looking to take a risk with a Republican Rookie? Pearce could be your man."

Aaahhh, I think I'll pass.....
