Our good friend Andy told us about Fantasy Congress and we signed up. Basically, it's exactly like a fantasy sports league, only it tracks the activities and success of your chosen team, composed of members of Congress. You pick 12 representatives and 4 senators and then... it's on. We highly recommend any interested parties to go to www.fantasycongress.us and join the team, (whose name was decided DEMOCRATICALY through nomination and election) "Iowa. We So Corny". (Give us a comment and we will send you the password for the league.)
Matt's team is called "The Manly Reps" and it is composed of the men of Congress who are hyper-manly.
My team is called "Evilia Domestica" and it is composed of Republicans who are recorded as being relatively active within the last few months. I assume all their actions fall under the description of "Evilia".
In other news, Gareth and Gareth came over for dinner and we discussed the differences between our political systems (British vs. American). It seems that people here don't really understand our government. How can we claim to be a democracy and yet one third of the power in our government is given to nine people who are not even politically accountable for their actions? Gooooood question!
We set this up to keep in touch with people we may not see for awhile. So keep in touch. We'll try to keep this thing interesting and updated frequently.

I tried to draft Mark Foley, but they wouldn't let me. And I'm sorry to tell you this, but your cowboy hat-wearing ringer Burns is going to get beaten by Jon Tester. Luckily, he's even manlier. He lost 3 fingers in a hay baler or something!
Meat grinder, sorry.
