42. Nice work! I have some minor coding suggestions...

Jul 2013

... to make it look more like this:

[div style="display:block; padding:20px; width:100%; border:6px solid #ADD8E6; border-radius:0.4em;"]
[font style="font-size:1.539em;"]JOHN BOEHNER[/font] [div style="display:inline-block; padding-left:0.3077em;" title="Crybaby"][div style="display:inline-block; padding-left:0.3077em;" title="Spin"][div style="display:inline-block; padding-left:0.3077em;" title="Hypocrisy"][div style="display:inline-block; padding-left:0.3077em;" title="Lame"][div style="display:inline-block; padding-left:0.3077em;" title="Obstructionist"]

Starting off the new attempt at the Top 10 is the most ineffective, pathetic excuse for a Speaker of the House in the history of FOREVER. . .John “Orange Vodka” Boehner. On a recent showing of Meet the Press, the Ohio tearduct was asked why this Congress, as of 7-7-13, passed just 15 bills that have been signed into law. Met with this fact, John-Boy responded in the oddest way possible:
[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]“BOEHNER: Well, Bob, we should not be judged on how many new laws we create. We ought to be judged on how many laws we repeal. We’ve got more laws than the administration could ever enforce.”
Okay, let's examine this for thirty seconds. Congress isn't now not supposed to propose and pass laws, but repeal the laws we already have. Anyone with half a brain knows that this is a threat against the ACA that the gives the GOP strokes and heart attacks. But, okay, Orange Boy, let's look how many laws you repeal: ZERO!!! Like you! A complete zero! WORST. SPEAKER. EVER!
Show the name first under the count banner, make it big and bold and place the key images immediately to the right. If you mouse over the key images, a popup text box tells you what it means. Make the excerpt color coordinated with the count banner graphic and add a border/shadow instead of being just plain grey.

Well done! madaboutharry Jul 2013 #1
