Rails - Jul 2006 - strange behavior with link_to for "blog" and "gallery"

Okay, what''s so different about the bellow code?  When I use the
link_to
function in a partial  (three times passing "Stats", "Blog",
and
"Gallery")...

    <%= link_to(menuItem.to_s, :controller=>menuItem.to_s.downcase)%>

I get...
    <a href="/stats">Stats</a>
    <a href="/blog">Blog</a>
    <a href="/gallery">Gallery</a>


and in my .css file I have:

a:link {
	text-decoration: none;
	color: #661;
}

BUT this only works for the "Stats" link.  "Blog" and
"Gallery" just
look like the default html link.  If I change the link_to line to read:
    <%= link_to(menuItem.to_s, :controller=>menuItem.to_s.downcase + 
"x")%>

everything looks fine but now I have a link to the wrong controller. 
What gives?

I guess link_to is not the problem because if I just put html code 
directly into the layout I still get the problem.

     <a href="/stats">Stats</a>
     <a href="/blog">Blog</a>
     <a href="/gallery">Gallery</a>

this alone produces the error.  I''m confused.

All right.  It''s becomming embarrasing but I still don''t know
how to fix
it.

This only happens with links that I have selected at some point.  Once I 
select "Stats" and then reload the page the same thing happens.


So I guess I need to put into my .css file something like this...

    a:visited {
        text-decoration: none;
        color: #230;
    }
