Here's a great article:

I hate to pile on, but this is just great. Michael Steele: "It's not even really a web site"

QUOTE (CanOfCorn @ Oct 13, 2009 -> 02:59 PM) I think Al Gore is sabotaging the site. more like all the people that got the admin passwords. I'd have been curious to poke around

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Oct 13, 2009 -> 02:45 PM) The Bills will be lucky to get anything better than a single 4th round pick. Do it now!!

GOP.com has officially crashed. And they've decided to declare Jackie Robinson a republican... even though he was a self declared independent.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Oct 13, 2009 -> 10:54 AM) Good, she is a distraction to Bay. Boobs are replaceable. Find another set. if they plan on replacing the boobs, make them bigger.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 13, 2009 -> 11:27 AM) Can't say I was inclined to like him beforehand, but his handling of the investigation of this death penalty case is about as despicable of behavior as I can imagine from a politician. Edit: Perry just replaces a 4th member of that investigative commission. He should just secede the state and declare himself dictator

I think the atomic bombs rate higher than Columbine.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Oct 10, 2009 -> 05:00 PM) I watched a bit of the game Thursday night. I hope the league can be somewhat successful. Yea, I had a chance on Sunday to watch the first quarter of the Orlando game... it looked like actual football.

All I know is that Tebow will not be good. For starters, Florida QBs dont succeed in the NFL. But additionally, maybe it is just me, but I think Tebow throws a bad ball. It just looks funky.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Oct 13, 2009 -> 10:35 AM) Whats so bad about it. The fact that they use Red, I mean its kind of shocking the Republicans are using red and all. Or is it the fact that its a simplistic design. The red doesn't bother me at all. Their overall color scheme is ok. It's not only simplistic, but everything is HUGE! The GOP faces logo is HUGE. The dropdown menus bar is HUGE. The "Sound Reasoning" blog thing on the right is gigantic. There is very little content on the home page, but it takes up a TON of space. I can understand a sight like ESPN.com being ugly because they are cramming a ton of info into a single page. GOP.com has only a few things, but they take up massive amounts of space. It's just really badly themed. I would use the Democrats.org site as an example of good webdesign, but i dont want to be accused of favortism, so I'll reference the Libertarian website: LP.org. Compare LP.org and GOP.com and tell me which is a better design.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Oct 13, 2009 -> 10:23 AM) You need to take off your Obama blinders, and your DNC change glasses for a second. Its a basic wordpress/drupal type site with some basic web 2.0 crap on it. Yes flash animation is annoying. But come on now, its not so terrible you need to start a thread on it. It has nothing to do with blinders or political affiliation. I really do think it's horribly bad. I've done better with less resources. I'll gladly lend my time to the GOP if they want it.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 13, 2009 -> 10:12 AM) PWC didn't forget anything - the insurance companies asked PWC to only analyze certain, specific aspects... then released the report with big flashy numbers that led people to believe it was all-inclusive. Basically, PWC got duped, then the insurance companies tried to dupe everyone else. Embarrassing for PWC, and insulting towards the general public that these insurance idiots thought they could slip one past us. The White House warned yesterday that it was a self-serving report... guess they were right.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 13, 2009 -> 10:08 AM) Dude - its a solid red background. And someone made the leap to the Chinese flag from there? It's the odd similarity to the Giant star surrounded by smaller stars. I'll remove that post if it can bring the attention back to talk about the website itself.

Hiroshima and Nagasaki Consider Joint Bid for 2020 Olympics

Michael Bay To Kill Megan Fox in Transformers 3?

OOPS! Accounting Firm Admits Cost Savings Left Out Of Report Prepared For AHIP Report So, the report being waved around by the GOP and featured prominently on their icky new website failed to include some major parts.

I thought whether to post this in the Republican or Democratic thread, but in the end I decided to give it it's own place because I think it could be an interesting conversation. It was pointed out to me this morning that the GOP launched their new website this morning. GOP.com or RNC.org They say it's in BETA, but WOW is it really bad in my opinion. This not as a critic of the GOP, this is criticism from a guy who manages 2 websites every day and has 2 personal side project websites. They are clearly trying to put a younger face on the GOP, note the annoyingly large faces they are using in the top of the page. But the over all layout and UI is large and bombastic... not to mention oddly layed out. Perhaps the most ironic part is that their Future Leaders page... has no one on it! Kind of ironic really. And they did one of the things I have MOST about some websites. After going to the home page, Michael Steels walks out onto the webpage and starts talking. I HATE those dumbass flash video things. They anny me to no end. My opinion is that this should have been kep under wraps until it was done... and for the love of God... hire a real web designer. I'm a hack and I could have done better with a off the counter Drupal template. I hate to sound like I am piling on the GOP, but this is a really bad website for a major political party.

QUOTE (knightni @ Oct 12, 2009 -> 07:01 PM) I watched them all in their primes, sans Payton. But I was 12 during the Super Bowl year. Too bad I never thought about taping anything. My dad supposedly has SuperBowl 20 in beta.

I just found out that two students at the church/school I work for were confirmed to have the H1N1 virus this evening. Please pray for these students and all the people they may have come in contact with. On a good note, this was a 3 day weekend, so hopefully that limited SOME additional exposure to the virus.
