President Ahmadinejad's Blog: Not what HE expected

A congratulations is in order to Iran's President Ahmadinejad for joining the blogging community. Sources claim the president himself is writing the journal in the website. Whether this is true or not is hard to verify; but one thing is for sure, it does provide for some interesting read and humorous reactions.

An example of the humorous side, are the polls published at the site. While these lines are being written, the current poll asks visitors to indicate whether they think that Israel's attack in Lebanon (as oppose to reaction to Hezbollah) was a US/Israeli plot to trigger a world war. I am sure that much to the disappointment of President Ahmadinejad, 77% of respondents so far have answered 'No'.

Nevertheless, President Ahmadinejad should not be discouraged by this 'little' setback. His blog is quickly approaching Technorati's top 100 blogs and if he just steps off power, he may have a chance at a new career as a blogger, a jounalist or a comedian; all of which are fine jobs... seriously.
