Update: Congress Watcher
So, listening to a commenter, here are two photos of the data, before and after.
As you can see, the thomas way shows 3 bills in the screen, the Joe way shows 8. You lose information, but I don't care about that information. (until I click the link on the right)
Last major action is nice, but meh. I would rather it be like fark, a headline and a link to more information. Also, when you click on the bill link in the thomas version, it doesn't take you directly to the bill. So I fixed that too.
The Thomas Way:
The Joe way:
My version is not as good looking, so if anyone wants to make it snazzy then ask me about it. I don't know that it is worth it. With this, I wanted RAW DATA and not some dressed up CSS-XML-AJAX-laden-takes-forever-to-load-and-serve page.
Oh, and it also renders very well in w3m. thomas won't.

divide up the house and senate bills for easier viewing. it would be cool if you could set it up like fark with different sections
