Happy Father's Day, George!

George… the father of our country! I was thinking about it, and it seems to me that nobody ever remembers you on father’s day… how sad. No cards, no presents, no day off, no special meals, no nothing…

I took it upon myself to do something really special from all of us this year! I put a lot of thought into it and it was tough… can’t really cook out for you, can’t really have a beer with you…

I read where a new I-Pod is all the rage for fathers this year…but… then I saw where you already had one….

Oh well… like I said, I put a lot of thought into it, and I hope you’ll like it…
I GOT YOU A NEW TIE!!!

Happy Father’s Day, George… from all your BAD Kids!

Disclaimer for the FBI and Secret Service: This picture is satire, and in no way should it be construed to mean that I intend to harm, or wish any harm to come to the President… other than that allowable by American and International law after a fair trial for war crimes… Come to think of it, why don’t you guys get moving and halt the spread of fatherlessness on this Father’s Day by arresting this man?

Once again you get right to the heart of the matter and its a good thing you added the disclaimer. I heard Gitmo is full but no worries haliburton is getting a contract to build a new prison camp there. Imagine that. hey, check this little ditty out I found today.

Did you do it? I’ve been thinking about investing in a copy of Macromedia Flash to try to get into the next level of snark.

  This is only my second diary and I am lucky enough to have figured out how to post links…lol! Diane taught me that one.

    You can make yourself a little Word Document with all your favorite html commands and just paste them into your comments… I have to because my typing is slow and atrocious…

      No actually did not know that or quite honestly what the hell you are talking about. If you have the time mayube you could explain what html means and how to use it. Thanks.

      Hey alohaleezy. I wanted to hop in and try to answer – I’m thinking that because I’m html challenged myself, I might make more sense to you than a pro. If I’m mistaken, and end up making no sense at all, then…um…just ignore me.
      
      If you are using Internet Explorer as a browser, then you can go to the ‘view’ button at the top and click on ‘source’. That will open a window in notepad that shows you the html source code for this page. Um, yah – I feel the same way – might as well be Japanese to me. Anyway, that’s what this page is before your browser translates it into pretty graphics and something comprehensible for humans. The little trick that Diane taught you is one of many html commands that let you do stuff around here – add links, which you’ve figured out, include pictures or borders or those boxes for quotes.
      
      I think bood’s suggestion of a word document with a bunch of those tricks is a good idea – even the ones I already know, I usually forget. Does one the masters around here think it would be a good idea to make one, and email it around? Or is there an unspoken rule that young Jedis must learn the hard way?

      Get the Firefox browser. There is a great extension called BBC Code (dKos mod). It does most of the HTML editing for you to do hyperlinks, bold, boxes and more. It works at all the Scoop sites I blog at.
      
      This extension RPXP allows you to highlight certain members and to take highlighted text from an article and automatically format it to a box with a link.
      
      These help me everyday.

      Thanks to you both. I will check it out and start practicing. I guess one is never to old to learn.

      I haven’t been able to get the dKos extension to work on any site other than dKos.
      
      Do I need to download another extension to get it to work?
    - Cali Scribe on June 19, 2005 at 11:44 am
      
      Nope…can’t even get the dKos menu to come up… 🙁
    - SeattleLiberal on June 19, 2005 at 4:15 pm
      
      How are you using it? It works O.K. for you on Kos?
      
      I did all below with the BBCode extension
      
      Bold
      
      Box
      
      Hyperlink
      
      Are you talking about the RPXP extension?
      
      I have not tried the colors on the users but the “RPXP Quote” function works for me.

      What are you having trouble with?

  Oh, please do!! The snark appreciating and flash-challenged among us would be most grateful….
