Political Base

Since I'm on my political horse today, I also wanted to pass along a new website co-created by the former owner of CNET that tracks politicians across the country in local and federal elections. It's called politicalbase.com and is a HUGE resource if you are looking into campaign donations, religious affiliations, education, past political maneuvers or even simply the first name affiliated party of specific politicians. Today, they have a great opinion piece on the decision the New Yorker has made to run an issue with what many believe is a tasteless satirical cariacature on the cover. See that here. It's user friendly - my mom, who claims to be completely disinterested in politics, has even expressed interest in this. You can get the information with as much milk as you need, but being a wiki in nature, you can easily find yourself browsing one politician to the next for hours.
