Excerpt:

The top donors to super PACs in 2012 did not fare well — casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, the No. 1 super PAC contributor with more than $53 million in giving, backed eight losers at this writing. Adelson was top backer of the pro-Mitt Romney Restore Our Future super PAC, with $20 million in donations. Romney lost to President Barack Obama. In addition, Adelson's contributions to super PACs backing U.S. Senate candidates in Florida, Virginia and New Jersey were also for naught.

Brad Pitt donates $100,000 to marriage equality campaign

Excerpt:

The actor is donating $100,000 to the Human Rights Campaign, in support of the organization's efforts to help pass same-sex marriage initiatives currently on the ballot in multiple states. "It's unbelievable to me that people's lives and relationships are literally being voted on in a matter of days," Pitt said in an email sent to HRC supporters, which was shared on the group's website. "In Maine, Maryland, Minnesota and Washington, voters will go to the polls to decide if gay and lesbian couples - our friends and neighbors - are worthy of the same protections as everyone else." The Chanel No. 5 spokesman said Wednesday that he will match contributions made to HRC's National Marriage Fund in the next 24 hours, up to $100,000. "This is our last chance to make a difference," he added.

Key:

• Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
• The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
• The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
