#1 ...and I notice I forgot to close an italics tag.

I guess I can blame it on the network problems and pretend I'm not a total incompetent.

#2 Never mind the italics, AS - how'd you get the dual columns?

#3 Hugo may be letting his bravado and mouth get his troops killed. I would guess a squadron of A10s could be in Columbia toot sweet

#4 May Mr. Chavez soon find himself in an anatomically impossible position doing things that shock his mother and disgust his grandmother.

#5 And how would those A-10s continue to pump oil for America from Venezuelan wells?

#7 Colombia as Israel, interesting comparison when you consider the neighbors appear to be arming Colombian rebels or allowing the use of their territory for strikes into Colombia.

It would be nice to see Colombia take out Chavez and end his attempts to convert Latin America into North Korea.

#11 BP, if you know a way to automatically flow text from one <div> to another, and to balance the columns, please let me know. I can really use the info.

I hate using <table> for anything but actual grids too, but I don't see a replacement here. And I'm stuck with an app that uses frames, tables, and J2EE Struts tiles. I'm trying to wean everyone from frames and tables, but it isn't easy.

#12 I'll have to look into "div".

Anyway, notice that I wasn't flowing text from one column to another, although now that I think about it, that would be a really nifty trick.

#13 AS,

<div>s don't do anything by themselves; they are just placeholders. However, given appropriate CSS declarations, they can do a lot. You'll need to read some books or visit some online sites to learn about them; I doubt Fred wants that much geekery in these comments.

Let's just say that you can make your pages much clearer if you put the comment in the html files and the rules for displaying the content in CSS files.

#14 Uh, I am afraid that my standing isn't high enough around here to change Fred's CSS, even if I understood CSS.

I guess I need to find a current guide to html for hominids.
