The time series show U.S. rev­enue, spend­ing and debt since the 1940s. You can also com­pare national pub­lic debt as a per­cent­age of the GDP for dif­fer­ent coun­tries in the world.

I am impressed with what USA Today has been doing lately. Nice job, guys!

Washington Post election '10 map

The Washington Post kicks off its 2010 elec­tion cov­er­age with a well designed inter­ac­tive map. I like the races to watch panel on the left side that gives you a good overview of what is inter­est­ing. Clicking on one of the races brings up more infor­ma­tion and high­lights the race on the map, which is nice. However I wish I could deep link to a par­tic­u­lar race.
