Politifact reviews statements made by politicians to see if they are true or not! It does take into account varying degrees of truthfulness which is helpful and some of the statements they pick are interesting.
Barely True
"We're also cutting a Forest Service economic development program that strayed so far from any mission that it funded a music festival."-Barak Obama
Half-True
"Thomas Jefferson created the Marines for the Islamic pirates that were happening."-Glenn Beck
Found this fun website through Federal Daily newsletter which had a brief "Feds Make Twice As Much? Really?" in response to Senator Scott Brown's statement that federal employees make twice as much as private sector. The Truth-O-Meter finds this False!
