Why is it so flippin' difficult to get a feed of newly-registered domain

Because the TLDs hate giving people access to the data and certainly
won't provide a feed without a bunch of cash involved. Even worse, all
the ccTLDs pretty much refuse to even talk to you about access to the
zones.
Note to self: remember, the answer to any question beginning "why" is
always "money". :)
This is why I started processing all the TLDs I was able to obtain
access to. There is lag but the most it could be is about 24 hours and
that assumes they register a new domain immediately after the TLD dumps
the zone.
Does your data allow mapping domain name to registrar? If so, you might
want to try implementing a URIBL for the Evil Registrars as has been
discussed from time to time on the list...

Those in the media have donated to Obama at a 100:1 ratio compared
to McCain. Are we to believe that this bias does not in any way
taint their coverage of the campaign?
