Dictators Blog, Too

I'm sure a few of you have come across Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's blog during moments of procrastination or masochism. Anyhow, "Mammers" (as the Onion has so affectionately called him), has written posts on a variety of issues such as governance, international relations, and religion. Not surprisingy, most of them are long-winded, circuitous, and so Mahmoud-y.

My favorite part of the blog are the reader responses which are posted on the right side of the page. The responses range from "You are a great leader" (that's from a Viktor Jančo) to "You say some pretty stupid things sometimes" (that from Kevin). However, perhaps the best comment I have come across is from D. Dubois from the US. Mr. (or Mrs.?) Dubois decided this was the best comment to leave for Ahmadinejad:

"Cool... are these all real comments from real people? Or planted? Anyway, your blogs are somewhat formal sounding. Why not loosen up the language a little for the American readers? And could you tell us a little about your home life and your family and what your daily routine is like. Also what kind of music do you like? What is your favorite color and what is your favorite sport?"

No wonder he hates us.
