I'm Working on Conditional Love

I think that unconditional love is not all it's cracked up to be.

I've found a lovely way to waste time and put a dollar figure on love.

If you go here you can type in a name and get a review of loveliness in the form of a history of a person's political contributions, with handy subcategories like: billionaires, chefs, corporate convicts, authors, Charlie's Angels, zealots, and weird names.

People I, sadly, love less:

Viggo Mortensen
lousy $250 to Howard Dean
Yoko Ono
apparently nothing since '83 when she gave $1K to Alan Cranston
Cher
only $2,200 for a pro-choice group

People I, surprisingly, love more
Andre Agassi
More than $70k to Dems, including $2k for Tony Knowles in '04. Yeah, that Tony Knowles.
Edward Norton
More than $70k in the last four years, including $10k checks to the DNC in swing states.
Bradley Whitford

Note that Uma Thurman ponied up $7K over 2 years (4 for Kerry, 2 for Hillary, 1 for a PA Dem. Rep. but Ethan Hawke was in for more than $25.
