to add to the choir.  our song?  VOX, this last design sucks!

many folks, both in and out of my neighborhood have already complained in detail about the suckiness, the lack of drop-down menus, the increase in page views (clicks), the difficulty in keeping up with one's friends and neighbors.   ditto, ditto, ditto, ditto.

what I wish to complain about in detail is something that was not in the beta of this release - so no mea culpas for not submitting feedback on it at the time - and that is the increase in VOX's editorial presence.  instead of one [tig] we now have five [not as good as [tig] thingies].

who would have thought this smiling teenager

Bobby fischer becomes a GM @1957

would grow up to be a "Cold War warrior" and American hero

Bobby fischer wins the cold war @1973

and become an angry recluse

Bobby fischer arrives in Iceland @2005

Motel room meth lab raided

http://www.kentucky.com/454/story/282...

A man wearing a gown after decontamination was put into a police wagon. Police said one suspect was taken to the hospital because he might have swallowed some material in an attempt to dispose of evidence. Materials used to make meth can include iodine, ether, ammonia and lamp fuel. "They are materials you can find in most homes, but when you start mixing them together, you can have a real problem," fire department Battalion Chief Joe Kinney said. Police said staffers from the Lexington-Fayette County Health Department were expected to seal the room and advise motel officials on further cleanup.

no spare room at home to run your meth lab?  no problem!  just rent a room in your neighborhood Best Western.
