You can’t buy Congress’s web history – that's not how any of this works

This raises an interesting question: who is the ISP for congress? My guess is the government itself, but anyone have anything more specific on that?

Using the history of congress editing wikipedia pages I found the answer -- they are their own ISP:

http://whois.arin.net/rest/net/NET-143-231-0-0-1/pft

This led me to an idea: why not buy online ads targeted by IP address at the IP ranges of congress? It would be extremely targeted since it would only be seen by computers on the hill.
