8. You shouldn't insult Win95 that way
It looks more like DOS 5, really.

10. You think Free Republic is crap...
Here is the website of the guy who ran against Herb Kohl Last Year.

Keep in mind, this was the campaign website of a major party candidate for a US Senate seat...

14. much like everything else
they probably either don't know it sucks (blindingly ignorant) or are too stubborn to admit it (stupid).

My vote is 'all of the above' - good desine is seriesly a trate of godliss libral commise.

18. Hard to believe that's the same basic software DU uses
As the old UNIX programmers used to say, quality in, quality out. Garbage in, garbage out.

Pretty simple quandary for old Jim Bob Billy Joe Chuckie Bubba: spend your quarterly donations on improving your image or use the sawbuck to have a long weekend beer drunk.

:shrug:

19. That's the thing that cracks me up.
I'm sure we're paying for Skinner, EarlG, and Elad to have some sort of living, but those boys WORK HARD. We actually see, like, site updates and maintenance.

Meanwhile, over on freepers, they've been using the same shitty software since 1997, and it shows. :P

20. yeah, and don't they
...donate a shitload of money to Rimjob to run that place? I bet he's living the high life on the money he gets and never puts a dime back into the place, and the freepers probably thing he deserves it. Standard right wing thinking.
