I just learned about this site. It's so useful I thought it was worth posting about.

http://www.usa.gov/index.shtml

USA.gov is a guide for the public to the US government. It provides an easy way to find information and services made available by the government, find agencies, and contact the government. Few people today would not benefit from having all this information in one easy to use site.

Thanks, added it to my favorite list.
