Iran's President Launches Blog
02bunced writes "The BBC is reporting that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has started his own blog, the launch of which was announced on Iranian State TV. This is perhaps slightly ironic, given that the Iranian Government actively censors blogs on the Internet."
what's ironical is that ironical isn't a word
He had to start his own blog, the infidel CmdrTaco kept rejecting his "Was there a Holocaust?" poll.
is the fact that it's hosted on Windows (which we know from the .NET error page it was showing this morning).
Virtually serving coffee
I decided to visit it and was reading all the nasty stuff he said about Jews and Booze. Then I found out I was on Mel Gibson's blog by mistake.
Where were you when the voynix came?
i like the "Decapitations of the day" section. :P
I don't feel like it...
Before we start seeing a "The CIA is trying to prevent the world from reading my blog by using a distributed denial of service attack" posting when the real problem is that the site is hosted on Windows and has been slashdotted?
"He had to start his own blog, the infidel CmdrTaco kept rejecting his "Was there a Holocaust?" poll.
Of course it was rejected. The Iranian president forgot to include "Cowboy Neal" as one of the poll answers.

So, does he have a MySpace page yet? Or is he a Facebook kind-of-guy?
His webserver is MS, and it was down earlier. From Georg Greve's blog: Technical difficulties all around
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has no problem being dependent on US software, which in turn has no problem failing on him.

I'm sure all his posts will be calm, reasoned, factual and well stated.
No folly is more costly than the folly of intolerant idealism. - Winston Churchill
Well, he also has a myspace. On it, he lists his favorite activities as "long walks on the sand dunes, researching nuclear weapons... I mean power plants, and torturing those with opinions different from mine".
A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.
Little did you know that because of the Patriot Act, anybody who visits that site is automatically tagged by an FBI database. They will now begin to track all your phone calls, intercept your emails, and monitor your credit card transactions.
Nope, that's not really ironical.
Then Tom will get sent to gitmo for being on bin Laden's friends list. Then everyone else on myspace will be carted off for having Tom on their friends list. Then we will finally be safe from the emo terrorists.
Who cares about democracy, have brought the /. effect to the Middle East! This is a great day for the free world.
Information wants a fueled airplane waiting at the hangar and no one gets hurt.

That's cool. I bought a book (using my credit card) from an online bookstore a few weeks ago, and never received the book. I forgot the web site link. Now it's nice to know I call call up the FBI and have them tell me what the site was. I might use it also to find out that phone number I misplaced of that guy who called me about the car. But there should be an easier way to sign up for this convenient service other than clicking on Iranian blog links.

I'm surprised his weblog doesn't have an Atom feed. His engineers must still be working on it...

I saw the same thing on bush's site. Except he misspelled nuclear.
