Well, there's John Edwards as voted by South Park ("Douche Bag of the

Universe").

The headlines seem excessively large.
The width is 1300px, about 40% larger than my normal viewport width (830
px).
Aside from a collection of generally unpleasant people the purpose of
your site is obscure.

Thanks for the response, you are absolutely right on with the width
issue. I'm going to make it a bit more narrow. Validation on this one
is tricky I'm having to make this site work with WordPress, I had it
validating but for some reason the page was not displaying corectly in
IE so I butchered it. This site is basically just a joke, but I did
get cut-off in traffic about an hour ago so I've got a candidate to
put on the site.

Regards

Don't do that. It'll look silly and skinny in my window which is
sometimes 1300px or more. Don't make it ANY specific width. Unless
you tell them not to, browsers will fill the window, no matter what
width it is. Why add something that reduces the effectiveness of the
page?

If you need to specify any widths, use percentages or ems. The same
goes for font sizes.
