"NewsMeat" ...Who the rich and famous have donated to..

[snowbear]

This site has probably been mentioned here in the past.. I just stumbled upon it.

Kind of like FundRace, but they've sorted it by "popularity of the person", etc...

Interesting list of names! http://eliteleague.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/lol!.gif

5. one interesting thing about that list....

is it shows how messed up the Federal Election Commission database is:

Ali, Muhammad
Berrien Springs, MI 49103

Ali, Muhammad Mr.
Berrien Springs, MI 49103

ALI, MUHAMMED
BRIEN SPRINGS, MI 49103
FORMER HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMP

Note the different spellings of Muhammad/Muhammed and Berrien Springs vs. Brien Springs...

12. They also spelled Doonesbury artist Garry Trudeau wrong...

..on his $10,000 donation to the DNC a couple months ago. Called him "Garret"

O'well.. still an intesting list they've compiled!

6. I sure hope no one here buys Amway... Look at the...

Billionaires list! Richard DeVos (co-founder Amway, owner Orlando Magic) has donated a fortune to ReTHUGS :puke:

7. Anheuser-Busch is blue?

Who'da thunkit? :beer:

8. Arianna Huffington 100% donations for Republicans??

Is this a typo?? I hope so...

[Crazy Guggenheim]

9. No it's not. Remember she was a Repub about 10 years ago.

[Lost-in-FL]

10. Much better...

:crazy:

13. Whenever anyone starts spouting off about Barbra Streisand, I

always refer them to this website. She certainly puts her money where her mouth is. Interesting website.

14. Good to see Dr. Sanjay Gupta (CNN) donates only to Dems!

Also a LOT more sports figures than I would've thought!

15. I love Streisand.

I still remember an essay she wrote on all the good things American's take for granted that were fought for by liberals.

It was maybe 8-10 years ago, I saw it in the Chicago Sun-Times. I bet I even have the clipping somewhere.

But to be honest, I'd still like her even if she were a Repub.

16. Just learned that Anderson Cooper is a Repuke - no wonder his first prime

time show did such a FOX style political segment last night.

17. Oprah and Michael Jordan

Was surprised O donated to a Repub.
But Mike is 100% Dem. That's a relief; he's so ambiguous sometimes I just wasn't sure.
