Fantasy

Do you remember Schoolhouse Rock's sad little wannabe law, Bill?
I'm just a bill
Yes, I'm only a bill
And if they vote for me on Capitol Hill
Well, then I'm off to the White House
Where I'll wait in a line
With a lot of other bills
For the president to sign
And if he signs me, then I'll be a law.
How I hope and pray that he will,
But today I am still just a bill.
Well, it's your chance to make Bill's dream a reality. It's time for Fantasy Congress! Join a league now and draft a team of hot shot legislators as they try to push their bills through committee, gain favor with the power players, and avoid veto.

I haven't been this excited about the goings on in Congress in a long time. Maybe next we can play Fantasy Presidential Cabinet or better yet Fantasy President. Oh wait, that game goes under a different name: Election 2008. (Sadly, unlike Fantasy Congress, there is little chance for interim participation in Election 2008, apart from polls.)
It's just a fantasy
It's not the real thing
But sometimes a fantasy
Is all you need
--Sometimes a Fantasy, by Billie Joel

Oh my god.

If I knew this wouldn't me to spontaneously combust from outrage I would so play.

As it is, my hands start shaking every time I bring myself to look at what's going over there...

ARRGGGGGGG.

Umm, sounds like someone could use a bit more fantasy in their day. :)

I'm thinking the recent election could make this fantasy game a teensy bit more palatable to some of my friends....
