They dress better now and have better table manners. I guess some of them may even have the trappings of Culture, though I've never really heard of Bush liking anything remotely cultural--books, movies, or music. His cultural connections are arranged by White House officials, and that's the extent of it. Never have the robber barons been so pleased to have one of their own in office pursuing, as the song suggests, their business interests with other people's blood. I'd go on, but I'd start to rave on your blog. But, BRRR! They freeze my blood. I equate rich men with the robber barons of old. They dress better now and have better table manners.

I guess it's my fault that I'm old, but all this tiny print designed for young perfect eyesight tires my eyes. And the truth is that (my guestimate) about 90% of web content is very tiny, as if somehow people just think it's cool to squeeze as much as is humanly possible into each square inch of screen space. I'm crazy, and don't care who knows it, bu I vote for a little larger font! Let's have more white space! Hey, if you’re redesigning your web site, here’s a vote for larger print.

I never read a web page without adjusting the type size so I can read it easily. On Safari and Internet Explorer I just hit "command + "+" or "command + "-" to adjust the font size to whatever I want it to be. I suspect there's a similar command on your chosen browser.
