Why Are We?
Why are we so willing to follow people who are bat shit crazy? Are we scared of the blustery, bold silver-back gorillas in the jungle, pounding their chests and rushing at us? When we encounter them, are we so busy questioning our own sanity that we can't figure out how to deal with their obvious insanity? Let me tell you, if you are questioning your sanity in the face of someone having a freak attack, I can guarantee that you are perfectly sane and you should find a way to subdue the wacko in the room. Call in the police . . . round up Congress . . . do something . . . anything!

Fantasy Congress
My daughter started it. She came home from school one day and told me that someone had invented Fantasy Congress, which is like Fantasy Football for those who'd rather follow politics than sports. Since my daughter mentioned it, I've had two comments on it, so here's the Fantasy Congress home page. Watching politics is one of our family's favorite pastimes, albeit a blood-pressure raising one with all the bad behavior going on. Maybe Fantasy Congress will allow us the pleasure of forming an effective, sensible and ethical government - even if only in cyberspace.
