9. Company names on Open Secrets
...refer to the place of employment of whoever donated.

They are only important for those companies where it was somebody like the company CEO who made the donation. Otherwise - so what?

6. No more Paul Newman pretzels and spag sauce.
Though I believe he must be someone who would have also donated to Al Gore.
