ok : <a class="external text" ...
bug: <a class="external free" ...

Either use shorter text or don't try to squeeze it into a three-column layout.

This is the web -- columns are not well supported by browsers, and long URLs don't interact well with environments that force frequent breaking (especially when most browsers won't break them).
