Ms. Dewey defeats Google? Hardly.
I asked Ms. Dewey if she was a librarian and judging by her response, she thought the question was quite lewd [via].

Pro-torture politicians by birth sign
I'd like to bring your attention to this page for two reasons. (It is from the Washington Post and it presents the votes of the 109th Congresss, 2nd Session on Bill HR 6166 aka The Torture Bill)
The first reason why I would like you to see this page is because I want to you to take note who voted for this atrocious bit of legislation and react accordingly.
Then I would like you admire how the page is automatically a summary but allows the user to further delve into the particulars of the information, such vote by the astrological signs of the members of Congress. (Oh Cancer, why do you have to be sooo defensive?) I would cite this as an example of a fundamental way newspaper sites need to change.
If you click on the bill's name, you will be taken to a page with a link to more information about the bill from the Library of Congress. This information has been remastered elsewhere.
