Magic css library to make your stuff look as good as Tufte

Linked article is promising. Somehow Tufte’s book and opinions have become dogma among the technirati. Nothing against him but is the “Napoleon chart” the only example to admire? I’ve seen wall hangings, T-shirts, stickers and whole web sites admiring that one chart!
