Ben Allinger for fascist dictator page (official). Now there's a young man with big plans for his (our) future. Where does one vote for world dictators? He's as good as they get.

Ugly page. I could only deal with a dictator that has complete control over his visual faculties... has some visual PRESENCE. So, Elton John would make a great dictator.

If I ever get to select a fascist dictator, I'd give my vote to somebody with a better web site. What kind of fascist dictator would have a plain white page with Times New Roman text? Come on...give me a vicious-looking logo. Give me some scary red text on a black background. Give me something to work with here.

Brilliant minds think alike, eh vandoren?

no, I agree with his argument that the style reflects his dull personality. And in these days of flash ("The last days?" :-] ). The creepiness and awe engendered by nasty times new Roman on an innocent white background is practically amazing. I now worship, I now Worship [ad infinitum].

Blah. I've been running my campaign for dictator since at least 1998. And I have a graphic.

Ugly page... I fail to see why a minimalist page constructed only with heading, paragraph and list tags is ugly. I prefer dictators writing simple, readable pages with content rather than graphically enhanced, unreadable ones. Dictators are from Mars, Graphic designers are from Venus.

I want graphically enhanced AND readable websites from my fascist dictators. A guy's gotta have his standards, ya know.

Where do I sign up? I'm tired of thinking for myself. I'll conform. Society is always right. Thought police is good. How soon can this happen? Where do I send my check?

Our boy Ben must be one of those folks who never gets tired of Pinky and the Brain -- he should probably leave the sophmoric humor to the sophomores. (HA HA HA!)

So, Elton John would make a great dictator. So, would he make us all wear those giant Donald Duck costumes?

I can't see why that would be a terrible thing...

I wonder if he's been catching up on his reading?
