Finally there’s a way to stick it to them where it hurts. The government shutdown has directly affected the lives of thousands of Americans, and in hopes of avoiding any political undertones, we’re going to get down to brass tax. There is now a website that encourages the disgruntled U.S. residents to get uproariously drunk, call up a member of Congress, and say whatever it is you have to say. It may not get you your job but, but it sure feels good.
A new website, DrunkDialCongress.org was launched Thursday morning. Callers simply enter their phone number, receive a call back with an automated message and then forwards the call to a randomly selected representative. Complete mayhem.
Callers can also choose from a menu of pre-selected talking points too. You can choose from categories such as “My kids won’t stop yelling at me about camping,” or “My grandma can’t get her cancer treatment.”
What’s more, if your boredom has you looking for new creative drink recipes, well look no further than Drunk Dial Congress. For whisky drinkers in particular, learn how to make “The Southern Congressman” and “The Fancy Statesman.” All delicious, all deadly.
We’re yet to hear of any backlash from bludgeoned congressmen, but let’s be honest, they’re probably just as drunk as the rest of us. So sick back, pour yourself a tall glass of scotch and pick up the phone. Clear your throat, take a long pull from your rocks glass, here the soothing sounds of ice jingle against its glass walls, and then tear that congressman a new one. It’s your right as an American.
