I found this very interesting item on the War Room at Salon.com. Since the regular media isn't doing it, a group of modern-day muckrakers (the Sunlight Foundation) is checking the financial disclosure statements of lawmakers and finding interesting "co-incidences." Dennis Hastert and a few Rep. California reps bought rural land in the middle of nowhere, then pushed earmarks to build roads nearby and then sold the land at an enormous profit. They still need help. Ever want to be an investigative journalist or a do-gooding muckraker? Go here to volunteer!
It's also a great source of info on the culture of corruption. Check it out.
