Silly zeldman.com hacking update.... For no *very* good reason, I want the secondarynav on the right. float: right, right? But the latest style tweaks switched to absolute positioning. position:absolute trumps float:right in Mozilla. (At a glance, that seems to be the way the spec is written, too.) To over-ride the absolute positioning, my userContent.css looks like this:

#primarycontent {margin-left: 0px !important;} #secondarynav {position: static !important;} #secondarynav {float: right !important}

In principle, this is a silly business. But it's maybe the way of the future, so I indulge. The only bad thing is that I usually have five or ten browser windows open, and every time I tweak the user stylesheet I have to close them all and restart Mozilla. But if I do that once a week, it doesn't seem too bad.

I was only driven to this stylesheet hacking back when Zeldman was justifying his text. At licentious radio, we brook no justification of html text.

Greg Palast has updated and re-published his book. He'll be at Kepler's on February 27. Palast digs up dirt on the Bush people, which is published in newspapers in England, but black-holed by the Republican-owned media here.

Greg's interview with Buzzflash goes into some of the gory details: Bush is blackmailing Blair to support the war. Poppy Bush himself set up the Iraqi nuclear weapons program in the 80s, with $7 billion from the Saudis.

Greg is also the only known/suspected victim of licentious radio's campaign to stop justification of text on the web. We're not taking credit for it, but we *did* email a suggestion that it would be easier to read his articles if they weren't justified. And today, the articles aren't justified.

For now, we'll spare you the anti-justification manifestoing.

But mark your calendar for Greg at Kepler's.
