Most of it good, some of it a little off–like their running debunked stories being recycled by Rolling Stone. Anyway, more interestingly, by coincidence I ran accross a web developers blog who mentioned the Tempus Fugit Blog who has a post [now we are getting to it] about his first post to The Dept. of Homeland Stupidity. And in his excerpt of his own post, he is spot on: On paper, Republicans are easily more favorable than Democrats to a libertarian-minded person such as myself. On paper, they support lower taxes, less socialism, limited government, a rigid interpretation of the Constitution, property rights, parental rights and gun rights. In practice, they do little to permanently relieve the tax burden, they support wealth redistribution in a variety of forms, they’ve bloated the government to an unprecedented degree, they’ve made a mockery of Amendments One, Four, Six, Eight and Ten, they’ve been slow and inadequate in their response to the Supreme Court’s eminent domain decision. That leaves parental rights and gun rights. So if all you want to do is to teach your kid that God created the world in seven 24-hour periods or shoot empty beer cans for fun, the Republican Party has your back. Otherwise, it’s time to wake up and realize you’ve been duped.   [...] [...] The Department of Homeland Stupidity is a site I just discovered a couple of days ago.

I'm trying to retool my CSS a little bit with the images off. The layout boxes have no color or border attribs and all the stuff we see here is one image tiled vertically. I'm very picky over detail like that... Thanks for the feedback! I’m trying to retool my CSS a little bit with the images off.

Doesn't look the same but looks fine. I'm really unfond of big blank boxes where images should be anyway.
