What’s going on with the sidebar? Are you tinkering, Todd? You need to change its position to “absolute” in the stylesheet, I think, or else it will drop down below the “body” element.

These lists of “100 most dangerous” are becoming too common, in my opinion. It smacks of McCarthyism. Bernard Goldberg has one titled “The 100 People who are Screwing up America,” and there’s one (the title escapes) me about the most dangerous women. I don’t know if there a hundred dangerous women, or not.

I’m not tinkering at all…I’ll look into it. It could be the graphic which I pasted over from the original page in this post.

Now, the text in the body of the post is spilling over into the sidebar.

I note a few names on this list that I recognize, like Amiri Baraka. I don’t know whether I am pleased by this or not, but no one from West Virginia University made the list. I imagine there probably is a certain amount of academic capital to be gained from finding one’s self marked as a “notorious” or dangerous professor. I’m sure that’s not what Horowitz had in mind, however, but then tyrants and bigots never intend to make martyrs of those they oppress.

I’d make sure I’d be more likely to take a class from one of those people. :)
Ooh, there’s a Fresno professor in there!

Really, the list is a bit funny. Imagining any prof as “dangerous” takes more than a little stretching.

….All I did was take the image out. I’m looking for sidebar in the stylesheet, but can’t locate it. Are you sure this is the right place?

No, the problem was with cutting/pasting from another web page, as I detail in my quick post to Inklings.
