SOTU ’07
[flv:http://www.dograt.com/Video/JAN07/SOTU.flv 400 300]
Many bloggers who are far more educated, erudite and knowledgeable than myself will have much to say about tonight’s State of the Union speech. So I’ve selected just one minute of it.
Bush refers to the 19 men who “got onto airplanes” and came “to kill us.” Fifteen of those men were from Saudi Arabia.
Tonight, Bush said, “The great question of our day is whether America will help men and women in the Middle East to build free societies, and share in the rights of all humanity.”
I’ve been to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and let me tell you something. Secure it is. Free it isn’t.
Hear any talk of invading Saudi Arabia? Didn’t think so.
Going Out Of Style (Sheet)
Well, that was fun. Wasted too much time searching for a solution to the rendering problem in Internet Explorer 7 that was chopping off the bottom of the title — my name! — that I intend to replace with a picture eventually, anyway.
None of the discussions I found nailed down the problem, so I figured it out on my own. What fixed it was adding some padding to H1 headers in the cascading style sheet:
#header h1 {
/*display:none; This will hide the text in your header */
padding-top:50px; padding-bottom:10px;
}
The “hide the text in your header” comment was an obvious hint!
