...and some general web research hints...
Most of us are aware of Free Republic as "The Premier Conservative Forum"- but do you realize what a powerful tool it is for research and analysis?
Not only does "any story or issue worth discussing" eventually end up being posted here ( usually days, weeks, or months ahead of the Jackal Pack Press ) but it is instantly analyzed, dissected, critiqued, and flayed by dozens or hundreds of people from all over the world.
Lies, spin, and propaganda die swift deaths on this site-- moreover, posters usually contibute more data, stories, links, and even memories that "flesh out or kill" a particular item.
Doing web ( or Free Republic ) based research is easy! Here are two engines I like:

And how to make/add your own list for "indexing":
Looks like the Outage for Database Changes was John at work the other day which now allows us to retrieve huge number of articles indexed by key words in the Oficial Bump Register.
For example CALPOWERCRISIS has nearly 2000 documents now retrievable!
John has truly done a marvelous thing!
