Yeah, I get that way myself, but back in June, acting with the very best of intentions, I added the green color at the top of this blog in order to express solidarity with the Iranian protesters.
It was intended to be temporary, and while I of course still support the Iranian dissidents, temporary does mean temporary, and it was up there for too long a period of time.
While I'm lazy about making changes of any kind, there's something worrisome to me about seeing that green color when the Iranian protests are no longer in the headlines.
Especially now, when "green" means ruining the economy and placing government controls on nearly everyone in the world. And I am sick to death of hearing Obama talk about "green jobs," which are at worst a wholly parasitic drain, and at best non-productive make-work jobs.
The more I thought about it, the more I thought that if I could put up the green as a protest against Iran, the time has come to take it down in protest.
Of Copenhagen. Climategate. The sickening "greening" of our freedom.
I said YES to the green of the Iranian protesters, and now I am saying NO! to the green hell of tyrannical "science."
I break with green, because I will not brake for green!

Understood.
We can support the people of Iran in their historic struggle to enter the world of modernity, but in doing so we cannot have our symbols conscripted against our fight to reinstate liberty.
I've tried reloading it and it still looks the same, and it looks like that in all comment boxes.
The left and right third of the upper box are blue, the middle part where it says, "Classical Values" is still green, in the link you gave me in the above comment, it's blue.
