Poligraft takes a url to a news article, parses through it, finds names of politicians, lobbyists, companies, prominent advocacy groups, etc and then finds the ways they are connected and who is getting money from and giving money to each. Basically, who is paying off whom in the article you are looking at. I find that to be totally cool.
http://poligraft.com/ They have a couple of sample searches at the bottom of the page, like an article on Senate Democrats Punting on Spill Bill: http://poligraft.com/BrUR which shows how much the American Petroleum Industry gave to each politician mentioned in the artcile, where each politician gets their contributions from and how much each industry/advocacy organization gave to Republicans and Democrats. Neat.
