Rep. Jason Hobbs (D-Arizona) “checks in” to a local motel room 33 times after accidentally downloading foursquare to his phone, and becomes the “mayor” of the hourly rate inn.

Rep. Andrew Kinney (R-Maryland) falls victim to an overly sensitive voice-activation system on his iPhone 17, which records his exploits at an underground sex club after inadvertently interpreting his words, “Rape me, here in this stall” as the voice command, “Tape me, post to my wall.” Despite the congressman’s denials that he is the man in the dimly lit video, the power of the phone’s built-in HD camera allows for little doubt. Besides, ever since the Scientific Revolution of 2019, the country’s round-the-clock surveillance system has been tracking his every move.

Rep. Obama Palin Jr. (Q-South Canada) uses an auction-based employment marketplace to hire a scientist to design a creature that is half-woman, half-elephant, specifically for him to have sex with.

Palin using the power of their collective thoughts.

Rep. Elephant IV (E-New Elephant) accidentally sends a lewd photo of his trunk via e-mail (elephant-mail) to a group of his supporters in the intelligent-vegetable community on the Moon. The vegetable leadership strategically uses the image to motivate widespread support for a long-planned guerrilla attack on the elephant overlords, which results in a tragically violent sixteen-year space war that leaves nary an elephant or vegetable breathing or respiring. By war’s end the solar system is almost entirely destroyed, except for a small band of ancient human ancestors roaming the Shenandoah Valley area of what used to be called Earth.
