Ron Paul and Monetary Policy

Watch the following Ron Paul for President video I found. It was put together very well. I am not an everything-Ron-Paul-says-is-gold voter (pardon the pun), but this is certainly compelling.

GIANT SEARCH BAR

I saw something pretty annoying on Microsoft's KB site today; when my browser is maximized on my widescreen monitor, the search bar is HUGE! See for yourself (click for larger size):
