Good to know...

I have become totally addicted to this website. You can search for celebrity political contributions and there is even a ticker that gives you the total dollar amount for certain celebrities and then you can expand to see if they are Red or Blue.

Some are no-brainers. Yep, Tom Hanks and Bruce Springsteen are staunch Democrats. (But seriously, only $12,000, Boss? Come on. What you been singing about?)

A couple of interesting surprises:

Alec Baldwin has donated over $130k to Blue candidates. I guess I will be watching 30 Rock more often .

Don Henley (yep, the very same who sings "Boys of Summer" and "End of the Innocence" has donated over $650k to Blue candidates and causes. Holy shit. Maybe I should buy one of his CDs instead of just periodically checking the radio station featuring the best of the 80s, 90s, and today.

Also, you should know that Amy Grant is only donating to Republicans and the RNC. Disappointing since I was just about to buy her latest CD. As if.
