Most announcements of BTC website ideas make me slap my forehead, But this one is awesome.
What always ticked me off about "gossip" sites was that they tended to focus on what doesn't really matter to real people (Celebrities) but instead if "gossip" type sites focused on government and its players I think it would do more to keep people who really effect lives to be more honest.
So go forth, kick ass, and take names. (and good luck)
