OMG OMG OMG OMG!

My new favorite time killer at work:
LEGISTORM!!!

Seriously cool for some awesomely wonkish stuff. Want to know how many prior Hill staffers are now Congressmen? It's here! Highest income Freshmen House Members?? It's here as well! There is some random crap, some policy, and some things like all earmarks from fy 08 and fy 09. Then, there are gems like this one:
in 2008 Minnesota's Congressional delegation delivered 158 earmarks costing $330 million. The average earmark from Minnesota members was not $70 million as Bachman claimed but $2.1 million which is less than the $3.7 million Bachman earmarked.


So, for those of us who want our information from somewhere other than email forwards or cable news shows, this should kill hours and hours of our all-too-abundant free time!
