What the hell is it with this new pop up column on the left ...

of the screen "Related Searches" it makes DU practically unreadable!

My top three choices in that column are "President Obama" "The Obama Website" and "Supporting Barack Obama"

Have I crossed into the Twilight Zone?

They do seem to be everywhere. Maybe they want you to think that that makes them okay.

posting links to the latest topics. I used to waste my time years ago arguing with people who had the corporate answer to any topic, but do not have the time anymore.

Still I would check in now and again, but this latest pop up screen on the left makes me never want to come to DU again, guess that is all by design.
