CSS Bugs

Rendered first: Left sidebar, fixed size, floats left.
Rendered second: Right sidebar, fixed size, floats right.

Watching Memeorandum‘s tracking of the story was a fascinating study of how the story built. It was like a volcanic eruption — one line, three [...]

Jack Layton: Emasculated

November 10, 2005

Last spring, Jack Layton truly held the balance of power, and was able to force the government’s hand on budget items important to the Dippers. His performance was masterful. I’d never vote for an NDP government, but you had to admire his ability to advance his party’s platform. All that has changed, of course. Now that [...]
