It's fascinating to type in stuff like "researcher" and "military"... who's giving what to whom is actually rather surprising. (You'd think that military professionals would support the GOP to a greater proportion)

Jordan,  I agree, it is fascinating!  It is surprising, and also very important to know!  Thanks for the Flag!

Great Resource.  Thank you for bringing this to our attention.  I am not big on biased publications (on either side) but the Huffington Post will often put out excellent resources for tracking and understanding politics.  Nice find, Rhonda.

No Problemo <------- See-Thats real Canadian Spanish, for more info on learning Canadian Spanish, please send a Certified Cheque or Money Order to the "Barry Artiste Spanish Language University and Car Repair, courtesy of Premier Campbell and the Liberal Government, please give generously, as my wife was kidnapped by Nigerian Terrorists, and only she knows where the $200 Million US Dollars are hidden in secret Bank accounts. Please enclose all your Banking info for a speedy response.  As for Speedy, if you wish to see me in a Speedo, well, that'll cost extra. P.S. Don't tell Jordan, cause hees Spanish, she ees no so good!

AmyJudd was already on it, though it seems a more drastic approach is needed. The Wrath of Jordan, and his Keystroke of Justice!
