no, what mr. haugh desperately needs is a P.I.C. (Personal Image 
Consultant).  politics is a beauty contest for the most part. even 
local politics. this is why ralph nadir would never win shit - his face 
is asymmetrical. haugh looks like a goofus-dufus with those glasses and 
that hairstyle. (then again, erskine bowles looks like the lovechild of 
jesse helms and a really ugly bulldog).

relatively unknown? and i quote "Sean Haugh is the Executive Director 
of the Libertarian Party of North Carolina (LPNC)." for someone "so 
into local/libertarian politics" i figured you'd have heard of him.

this seems like a rather trivial complaint - especially considering 
there IS NO speed/access problem with his website (neither at 10pm last 
nite, nor at 5am this morning). sounds like your past troubles 
accessing amazon. [maybe your link is the problem?]

not only that, but you are more than capable of finding out that 
haugh's webhost is <www.gate811.net> "a local Internet Service 
Provider, serving Bertie, Hertford, Gates, Chowan, Perquimans, Camden, 
Pasquotank, Currituck counties, as well as parts of Northampton 
county." perhaps the problem is that they are running a windows server 
with a zillion ports open <208.6.34.69>.

in the interest of supporting this candidate, why don't you just do a 
*better* job of hosting his site on one of your dozen antiquated Sun 
boxes in your dungeon?

maybe they don't know that you can't squeeze blood from a stone.

really? oh please go on - now that you've piqued my interest.

uniformity is a key element of web design. would it be better to 
confuse the site viewer by making every page look different?  
personally, i thought the site looked simple, clean and accessible.  is 
your newest self-appointed title "web designer"?

Gina Norman already schooled you on this one.  maybe Mr. Haugh's site 
just wasn't fast enough for you to see it?

> Many other major issues were ignored.

none were named, so i can only conclude you meant "Complete Christian 
Censorship of the Internet" - your own pet cause.  well, i don't think 
you're gonna get that out of a legitimate Libertarian candidate - 
sorry. but he does list in his bio that he "loves God and is unashamed 
of his Christian faith."  that should have had you creaming in your 
jeans.

ya know - you're right.  that site was just not fucking fast enough.  
and when did you stop signing all your emails "Reverend Hedemark" and 
telling people to repent and all that shit?  i really miss the 
pomposity of that gesture since unsubscribing from trilug and tribug.

aren't politics fun?  have a great thursday!!
