What kind of parent names their child Benedict Arnold? Does he have a brother named Adolf?

5. Thanks, corrected.

What's the point of the alternative link? In case newsmeat was making it up?

6. Well, yes!

I haven't frequented NewsMeat but will do so more - just wanted to make sure it wasn't a spoof since this is the Lounge...

7. it's much faster to search than opensecrets...

You can search all election cycles (since 1980) at once. I'm so annoyed by opensecrets and the others that only allow you to search 1 or 2 simutaneously. I started using it after Yahoo named it site-of-the-day a few weeks back.

The most useless one out there is fundrace, despite everyone seeming to rave about it. It only has 2004 presidential data, and it doesn't seem to be updated.
