Web site\u00c2\u00a0accessibility<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0is important stuff. However, I suspect that many things seem like overkill.<\/p>\n

Every image should have both an ALT attribute to provide a short description and a LONGDESC attribute to provide a web page which describes the image.<\/p>\n

It seems like these rules are not even followed by the advocates. Yes, I realize that “Do as I say, not as I do” is not really an excuse. However, it makes it difficult to find quality examples.<\/p>\n

A\u00c2\u00a0few days ago, I heard on the radio that the\u00c2\u00a0GOP<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0has decided it would greatly benefit them to attract black voters.\u00c2\u00a0Having black members of Congress will make them look sensitive to blacks. First, they need more black staffers which potentially will translate into black candidates in the future.<\/p>\n

They have people scouring the country for young conservative blacks. Those against Affirmative Action are now resorting to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
