InaugurAid

If you're bored or just curious, here's a list of donors to the 2005 Inauguration motorcade pageant fête. Two thoughts:

1. Is it usual for donations of this nature to come in amounts divisible by $25,000?
2. Is it, say, questionable for a media company--not just an owner of lots of stations, like Clear Channel, but a single-outlet newspaper--to give money for an inauguration? The Washington Post gave $100,000. If you look at the rest of the list, they stand out a bit. Maybe, since they're a Washington-based paper, they donate every four years, regardless of who's in power. Anybody know?
