Quick design poll and new tagline contest

I’m getting the design itch again. So here’s a quick poll for those of you that come to the blog to read the entries. Do you prefer the split 3-column view (like it is right now) or the 2-sidebars to the right view (like it is on the test blog)?
[poll=13]
Also, I’m getting sick of the current tagline. It’s efficient and to-the-point, but I want something more fun. So I am taking the hazardous step of soliciting slogans to replace the current one. The best one will be my new tagline with appropriate kudos to the person that comes up with it!
So get those creative juices flowing (or this is your chance to stick it to me!) 
(Remember: Appropriate taglines, obviously 
)
It seems to me you have the makings of a perfectly good tagline on your disclaimer page:
I mean, really, doesn’t that just say it all?
Otherwise…
a public defenderhelping you get away with it since 1975
a public defenderdefending those people
a public defenderdefending you people
a public defenderyes, I AM a real lawyer
a public defendercheaper than a real lawyer
a public defenderno, I don’t work for the prosecutor
a public defender’cause it’s not how much you steal—it’s how much you get away with
a public defendernow with 15% less plea bargaining
a public defenderlike perry mason, only you don’t have to be innocent
I really like the template you’ve got on the test blog. A lot. I’m sick of this template, too, and am considering something different. I just haven’t figured out what.

I AM WRONG. I AM AN IDIOT. I AM CLUELESS. I AM UNEDUCATED. NO AFFILIATION HERE BETWEEN MY OPINIONS AND THAT OF MY EMPLOYER OR ANY BODY ELSE. I CANNOT GIVE YOU ADVICE. I AM A TRAINED PIGEON. Thank you for reading.

Brilliant! Excellent suggestions all!

I do too. It’s just going to take me some time to get used to the 2-sidebars on the right, I guess. Instinctively I prefer the 3-split column layout.
I really do like this theme – it’s solid and I’ve customized it quite a bit, but the look is getting old.
What? You’re asking me? I get antsy and change the layout of my blog every time the wind changes direction . . .
Arrrgggg!!!! I can’t take the pressure!!!
A Public Defender:
A reasonable doubt at a reasonable price.
Why pay more?
100% of the lawyer at 0% of the fee.
Cheap at half the price.
More law for less money.
My opinion –
1. The yellow headlines promote eyestrain, and
2. What happened to the Gideon picture and S.Ct. handwritten pleading? I kinda liked it.
3. Otherwise the new look is OK, it will take time to get used to; when other blogs change their layout I, at first, hate it; but then it sorta’ “grows” on me and I end up liking it.

Oh I’m not going to adopt that specific theme. Even if I do, I will tinker with the colors and the header.
It’s just up there as a layout reference. Which layout do readers prefer?
An oldie, but a goodie:
A Public Defender: You’ve paid enough for your crimes already.

I thought it was: “Haven’t you paid enough for your crimes already?”

Yet, somehow, you always manage to make it look slick!
