Presidential Spam
I just got spammed by the President's webmaster announcing today's 7 a.m. launch of their re-designed Bush-Chaney '04 website.....a spam so nice I got it twice.
Not that I'm complaining mind you....I'm glad to see someone gets it.
Bloggers are helping to shape today’s political discourse and how the Internet is used in political campaigns. As an important voice among online activists we wanted you to be one of the first to know about the launch of the Bush-Cheney ’04 Web site at www.GeorgeWBush.com.
And there's banners and buttons available for download, like this:
Though it would've been nice if they linked to the website instead of just being a .gif....or maybe I downloaded it wrong, I dunno. (Ok now it does. Thanks Dean)
Still, it was a mass mailing of unsolicited information....and that cracks me up. First time I've ever responded to a spam.
UPDATE: I scooped the Master by more than an hour. Take that, PuppyBlender Boy

You can turn it into a link if you want. Just let me know and I'll do the code for you. Basically you just wrap an anchor ("a href=") tag around the "img" tag. It's a snap.

Ah, so that's how that works. Duh, I should've known that. Reckon why they didn't do that?

Even easier, MT will do it for you.
Congrats on the scoop!
