Website Wants You to Drunk-Dial Congress

Today's shutdown-related media darling looks to be a new website called DrunkDialCongress.org. Its creators want you to vent some rage at a member of Congress over the shutdown, and if you're three sheets to the wind while doing so, all the better. It works like so: You call up the site, plug in your phone number, and get a call-back with a slurred automated message. "Is this government shutdown making you want to drink?" it asks. "When I drink I like to tell people what’s on my mind." After that, your call gets forwarded to the office of a random House member. The left-leaning Revolution Messaging is behind the site, but the calls go to Democrats and Republicans alike, notes MarketWatch. (More Congress stories.)
