   Validation has little to do with correctness. It is only a first step.
   "#sidebar ul li a { ... }" creates a box for every <a> element. The 
first two <li>s have two <a>s in them. Thus a box for each one.

Change
  #sidebar ul li {
    list-style-type: none;
  }
  #sidebar ul li a {
    border-color: #4174A3;
    border-style: solid;
    border-width: 1px;
    width: 200px;
    height: 20px;
    padding-left: 10px;
    margin: 2px auto 1px auto;
    display: block;
  }

To
  #sidebar ul li {
    list-style-type: none;
    border-color: #4174A3;
    border-style: solid;
    border-width: 1px;
    width: 200px;
    height: 20px;
    padding-left: 10px;
    margin: 2px auto 1px auto;
  }
  #sidebar ul li a {
    display: block;
  }
