In another case of newspapers-as-government information portal news, check out the Washington Post's Votes Database, a list of all Congressional votes back to the 102nd Congress (that's 1991, for those of you keeping score). What does this site do that, say, Thomas doesn't? Well, aside from the regular, Democrat and Republican denominations, you can see how the votes split according to geography, age (though here, it's called "boomer status"), gender, and astrological sign. For example, we all know how HR 810 split along party lines, but betcha didn't know that the Tauruses had the most number of nays.
