#1 I still can't get the highlights to work on this (don't ask....), but figured you wonderful people would be able to get a good laugh even without my snarky comments.

#2 Saddam - best friend of Zhironovsky - best friend of Le Pen. 2 degrees of fascism. Where is Hitchens when you need him?

#3 Baba Yaga - being one who, until recently, was hilite ignorant, let em see if I can help (since you've no email on your nick, I'll try it here in the comment).

To begin hilite type < SPAN CLASS = HILITE > text you want hi-lited < / SPAN > ends hilite - but remove ALL the spaces within the < > except for the one between SPAN and CLASS (here's hoping my little bit doesn't go horribly awry...)

#4 Try selecting the desired text (as you would to copy it), then clicking the "HiLight" button.

#5 John, that's what I've been doing, but it doesn't want to work with my browser (netscape). I'll try what you suggest, Tadderly, and see if that helps. If not, well.....I'll have a few shots of tequila and see what inspiration strikes! ;)
In the meantime, love those highlights Fred added!

#6 Ahh our good friend Zhirinovsky. Thought he disappeared for good. This guy would be funny except for the fact that Russia has nukes and some people actually vote for him.

#7 All quite ironic considering that Zhirinovsky is Jewish.

#8 DEBKAFiles just posted (1630 EDT) that Saddam is in Belarus. DEBKA is sometimes way off base, but they've scored intelligence coups before - they pointed out that there were Saddamites in Latakia, for example.

#9 Perhaps something was lost in the translation. Rather than "submitting the question of granting them asylum", what they really meant was ...."the party asked the question about admitting them to an asylum.
