Oh, okay. I can’t see the categories from the RSS feed. Still, don’t throw random French at us! My poor brain can’t handle it!

Nothing random about it. It’s Bastille Day!

Hooray for Bastille Day!

And I can’t figure out what the categories for a post are from this page or the RSS feed. I bet it’s glaringly obvious and only someone completely braindead would miss it.
On a completely related note, now would be the appropriate time to ridicule me for acting blind.

Sari, the categories (”comics that made us laugh out loud,” etc) aren’t showing up on your screen?

They don’t show up on my screen either, Bill. The list of categories show up on the side of the screen, but I can’t see what categories a particular post is assigned to.

Sometimes they show up on the very bottom of my screen when I’m looking at a specific post.

Don’t get the caption but “MEN are supposed to wear it this way.” The guys at the gym apparently don’t like him or think (justifiably) that he is not too bright, so they have him wearing a shirt that only an idiot would wear anyway in such a way that he will get kicked in the gonads rather than the butt.

Windows on a specific post:
Firefox - the very bottom
Internet Explorer - right under the [Send Comment] button.

It’s related to the difference in the style=”clear:” implementation between the two browsers. From what I read last time, it was unclear whether it was either browser’s fault. (It’s used in the “[]Notify me of follow-up comments via e-mail” paragraph.)

There are workarounds that are apparently not implemented in this template.
Someone recommend this site to a known Wordpress employee.

I don’t get the Dinette Set cartoon. And I found the first one tasteless and offensive. And I have no idea what “Rire” means.

Piraro talked about this Bizarro panel on his blog (the URL is printed vertically along the panel’s right edge.)

In a nutshell, he meant to say that calling an animal product “free range” is merely a feel-good marketing ploy; and that “free range” animals are no more free than - well, slaves.

Not saying I necessarily agree with Piraro, but I also don’t think that any reference to slavery is automatically offensive.

Silly categories, hiding at the bottom of the page!

I didn’t really make a connection between slaves and animals that way for the Bizarro. I just found “free range slaves” an amusing phrase.
