On Tuesday afternoon, @congress-edits, a Twitter bot that alerts its 33,000-plus followers to anonymous Wikipedia edits made from IP addresses within the ranges assigned to the U.S. Congress, posted a most curious message.
Surely the edit was about something trivial, like Flacco's weight, or the name of his wife, or his career passing yards. No way someone in our legislative branch would dare venture into this great nation's most fraught debate, right? And on Super Tuesday, no less?
Nooooo, not our tax dollars!
Now, a word: As fun as it is to imagine Nancy Pelosi, San Francisco's longtime representative in Congress, killing time in Washington by getting back at Flacco for the Ravens' Super Bowl win over the 49ers in Super Bowl XLVII, it was most likely a congressional staffer who made the change.
