washingtonpost.com: Spraying Bullets

First in a (hopefully) series documenting washingtonpost.com’s typos, layout quirks, and general sub-parness.
Today’s installment: irregular bullets
Time until fixed: at least two hours

Not only is Celebritology closer to the bullet than all the other entries, bullet use isn’t consistent (circles vs. squares) even in adjacent lists! This brings up another point: rather than using unordered lists like a good website should, they’re just inserting a bullet character, then a space, then the link! And separating them by <br>s! Just when you thought it couldn’t get worse, instead of styling the links, which are already wrapped in <span>s, they’re using the <b> tag! Holy craptastic site design, WaPo!
