teabaggers and not recognizing that teabagger racism is dealbreaker for people of color, and I'm tired of his false equivalency of the Dems being the exact same as the Repubs... I know that right know there's a lot of similarlity, but at least I as a woman of color don't feel the Dems hate me because of my background, gender, or sexual orientation. Can't say the same for the Repukes, obviously.

The corporate media has been excelling at false equivalency's for decades.

It's about the only thing they are good at.

I click on reply, type a comment into the box that says "Reply" above it, and then my comment is just put at the bottom of the page as a newest comment.

When the reply's don't go under the original posters' comment, it can lead to some bizarre posts that look like they are out of left field.

I was wondering if I was missing some important info on the new site - which looks really great by the way.

Yep.

Psyops http://exposureroom.com/members/Durruti/f8bb07c6a12646e199602f6d16d53d55/ that was posted on here last night. It was a lot of intense information, great interviews, wonderful archival video, and I have passed it on to others.

Please do a general tutorial to 'splain the workins' of the formatin' etc. of your new website, will ya?

P.S. And please...make all the "winter's coming!" comments stop! It's not even Fall yet fer God's sake!

Muchas gracias....

Hi C&L,
I got few suggestions about the new format of the C&L site. I liked the old format, not so sure about the new one.
There are no borders along each post. It's just hanging free for all. When I scroll down the site, I don't exactly know if I have left the upper post and reached the next one or am somewhere in between. It's very unintuitive, visually very hard to get by and very short on visual cues for scroll.
Also, get rid of the "cross posted bar" from under the individual post headers. Hide it somewhere else or make it a very small icon attached somewhere down after the post, just don't put it under the title of the post. It's basically useless.
Ideally a Post should have a Title, Content, Comment Section and anything else in that fucking order. Content means written matter, video, audio and that's it.
Make the tags smaller or make it drop down or just put it somewhere else in the post (use the ideal post guideline above to decide where to put it).
Also, put all that new age "share this post" shit, after the comments or somewhere else.
Look spreading the message requires tact, which means making it easier to understand what it is. I just have difficulty in finding what the post is meant to say if it's so damn hard to browse through.
BTW, the commenting section looks OK.

That's it.

Now the icons are back.

But I get an error message when I try to use them.

It eventually does change though. Moves like a glacier.

Apparently Government scientists have found a previously unknown strain of oil eating bacteria. Guess where they found it? Yup the Gulf! Even better, this strain of bacteria doesn't use up the oxygen supply when it's gobbling up the oil like other oil eating bacteria. It's surmised that this bacteria has been 'unknown' because it evolved at the extreme depths where natural seepage of crude occurs. Now isn't that just convenient that this little bug has come up from Davey Jones' locker to help save the day!
