Quickly checked with Firebug (FF addon). If you replace
#tweet ul li
with
#content #tweet ul li
you should get what you want.
Explanation: The selector '#content .module ul li' (part of #container
ul li, #content .module ul li) is more *specific* than the following
rule. Despite its 'lower' position in the CSS source it gets overriden
by the first rule (i.e. the definition for 'background').
Thus, by adding '#content' to the second rule, you can make it more
specific than the first one.
hope this helps,
Joergen
