CAN’T WAIT FOR HIS FIRST “HAT TIP”

Blogger (and president of the Islamic Republic of Iran) Mahmood Ahmadinejad reflects on Iranian life:

When I used to go to high school, shah celebrated the 2500 years of monarchy of Iran. Those years, poverty among the oppressed people of Iran was escalated and doubled. The imposition of the cost and the expenditure of these festivals and ceremonies and also the crapulence of shah’s debauched clan and their foreign companies, broke the people’s back.

Ahmadinejad will get the hang of this blogging caper eventually. Look, he’s learning already:

I will continue this topic later on as it took long in the beginning. From now onwards, I will try to make it shorter and simpler.

Place bets: which lefty sites will grant a permalink to this wordy newcomer?

UPDATE. Fake? Not fake? Partially fake? Hot Air investigates!

UPDATE II. Not fake, according to Iranian state TV.

UPDATE III. Not fake, but viral! Go away from the site. Go away from the site.

  2. Wonder if he’s got a “tip jar”? Also, if he’s wise, he’ll refrain from the profligate use of special fonts; remember Webdiary, Minijihad!

    The imposition of the cost and the expenditure of these festivals and ceremonies and also the crapulence of shah’s debauched clan and their foreign companies, broke the people’s back.

    Right, and the pursuit of nuclear weapons is just the spinal surgery that the doctor ordered. Punk! In the coming apocalypse, I hope he’s the first one fried.

  3. So he has discovered blogging. Heaven help us if he starts playing counter strike….

  4. Can anyone enlighten me as to whether this is the real thing or a major pisstake?

    I just can’t figure it out. How on earth he has time to blog when he’s trying to bring on Armageddon, I don’t know.

  9. More from “Moe” Ahmadinejad:
    When I used to go to high school, the imperialist monarchy brats would poke me in the eyes and yell “nyuk, nyuk”  It was humiliating and offensive, and I never understood why they did these things to me, Allah grind their bones.

  12. I left a comment on his site (with assistance from Nick who is rather less couth than I am):

    Are you really a murderous dictator who wants to wipe Israel from the map and bring about Armageddon - or are you just an inadequately endowed defiler of camels?

    I wonder how that would translate into Urdu?

    Yes most Muslims are circumsized but its Sunnah , which means that it is not compulsory.

  16. “Those years, poverty among the oppressed people of Iran was escalated and doubled.”

    Perhaps. As it happens, I worked in an oriental rug store around the time of the Shah’s overthrow. The salesmen were all smiles at the news; you see, many fine oriental rugs are woven by children, and because the wicked Shah had instituted a policy of requiring kids to go to school, the supply of “Persian” rugs from Iran had been drying up. His overthrow meant that the kids be returned to their traditional ways of memorizing the Koran and weaving rugs instead of spending their days in school learning wicked stuff like math and science.

    Yeah, the Shah was a murderous bastard. But the present lot are no better, and in many ways a damned sight worse.

    It could be, since Iranian Bloggers are probably a tad miffed, as posted on InstaPundit, yesterday.

    CRACKING DOWN ON BLOGGERS in Iran. “The Internet censors are busy. Their targets include sexual content, international politics, local grumbling, chat rooms and anything else that makes the Islamic leadership uneasy. Mohammad Ali Dadkhah, a prominent human rights lawyer, estimates at least 50 bloggers have been detained since last year.”

    But if it is in fact Ahmadmadmidget’s Blog, I wonder if HE will be part of the crackdown OR is HE the cause of the crackdown due to jealousy?...:).

  18. Now he’s writing about how the West wickedly tried to introduce wicked science into Iranian culture, while the wicked shah set himself up as the wicked shah, and poor little Ahmedinutjob had to walk to school barefoot in the snow.

  20. 17.  Now I know why he is cracking down on Iranian bloggers.  He is going for Iran’s most popular blogger award and he just can’t have someone pinching the award on him.

    I’m just waiting to see guest bloggers on his site.  Chavez will be busting to put his “Death to America” bit in.

  21. WARNING: The site has a virus!!!!!!

    According to this article which notes the site attempts to install code into your computer as soon as you visit.

    “HTTP MS IE File DragDrop Embed Code”, according to Symantec is “an attempt to exploit a vulnerability in Internet Explorer […that] if combined with other vulnerabilities, […] could aid in execution of arbitrary code on the client computer”. Bad stuff.

  22. #17 El Cid,
    Speaking of internet censors and islamofascists, you may or may not have noticed the large number of porn sites that are being hacked by these killjoys. It seems that every time I sit down in front of the computer to have a sherman tank I’m confronted by a message saying “This site hacked in the name of Allah….NO PORN FOR YOU…filthy infidel dog”, or words to that effect.

  23. Not fake, well that is what Aljazeera is saying anyway:

    Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Iranian president, has started a blog.

    State-run television announced the blog’s launch on Sunday, urging the public to write messages to the president via the website.

    http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/B1AF93DB-E50C-42D6-B8F8-35D406BFBAA1.htm

    As blogstrop suggested “real and delusional”.

  26. Did somebody mention webdiary . . .?

      It was Sheila’s day off, and I was sorting the mail in my office, and watching with consternation as the pile of bills grew taller than the pile of checks. I had just fallen into a brief reverie, wondering how Philip Marlowe managed to make ends meet, when my view of the middle distance was obscured by a thin, weedy, apparently homeless guy who had suddenly opened the door. Even from ten feet away, I could smell stale socks and see that he had a three-day growth of beard. He moved in a quick, jerky fashion, like a marionette with a couple of broken strings, and took a chair.
      I sighed and pushed back my panama hat. “Look, pal, the barbershop’s around the corner and two blocks down, and there’s a laundrymat right next door to it. Be sure to write and tell me how it all works out”.
      “Hello, Mister Paco. Remember me?”
      I took a good hard look. I was as shocked as a curious toddler with a paper clip, an electrical outlet and no supervision.
      “Margo?” It was her, all right. Those beady eyes, like double-ought buckshot, staring at each other over the bridge of a nose that suggested a prize-winning carrot at the county fair. The frame like a scarecrow put together with care by a farmer who didn’t just want to frighten away birds, but to traumatize them for the rest of their lives.
      She smiled. “You seem surprised, Paco; even a little afraid.”
      Actually, the only thing I was afraid of was that a real client would come in, take one look at Margo, and think that I had joined the Salvation Army. Smooth, Paco, play it smooth.
      “Sure, sure, I knew it was you. How could I ever forget that beautiful smile?”
      To my horror, she proceeded to slip same out of her mouth and drop it in my water glass. “There you go. Now you can look at it anytime you want.”
      Hastily pulling her teeth out of the glass with a pair of ice tongs (which I had planned to throw away anyhow), I tossed the choppers in her lap. “Here. In case you ever switch back to solid foods, you might need these.”
      Margo reinserted her teeth and got down to cases. “Paco, you may vaguely recall that I hired you to find out who drove Webdiary into insolvency by embezzling the fonts.  Have you learned anything?”
      “Well, Margo, you may vaguely recall that you owe me a hundred dollars a day and expenses, of which I’ve seen zilch, so far. But I don’t want you to go away mad, I just want you to go away, so I’ll tell you who did it. It was Stoop Davy Dave. Nothing you can do about it now, though; he’s turned a new leaf, reformed entirely. He took holy orders and is now Father Foley. I believe he’s in one of the flatulent brotherhoods.”
      She sighed heavily. “Well, if he’s gone, he’s gone. I’ll send you a check some day. Somebody’s bound to hire me eventually. By the way, you meant ‘flagellant, surely?”
      I thought back to those trips in the Tardis, the endless cans of Beanie-Weenie he had scarfed, all washed down with bootleg mead.
      “Whatever you say, Margo. I guess you’ll want to be running along, now, maybe rinse out a few things. Come again when you can’t stay so long, and use the back stairs, will you?”

  33. It may be a virus, and it may be divine intervention:

    O Allah! Sieze the hard drives of the Zionists, their allies, those people with the small footballs, and those Australians who poke fun at your people, for it is within your power. May the Blue Screen of Death™ frustrate their evil schemes. Freeze the bytes in their CPUs. Shake the ground under their monitors. Fill their mail boxes with Nigerian spam and penis enlargemant offers. Afflict them with General Protection Faults, or, um, you know, that other thing if they are using Apple, for they are within your power.

  38. According to Charles at LGFs the Blog is DANGEROUS

    A lot of readers emailed about a new Iranian web site that purports to be Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s blog, and a lot of other blogs have linked to it.

    But before you click through to the site (from somewhere else, I won’t post the link here), make sure your virus prevention software is up to date—because it may try to exploit a weakness in Internet Explorer to install a “back door” in your computer: Pres. Ahmadinejad trying to infect Israelis with web viruses?

  39. Two questions:

    1) If you get a Ahmadinejad-lanche, are you entitled to retaliate?

    2) Can we include on his sidebar “I’m a Raving Lunatic in the TTLB Ecosystem”?

  43. I just saw him on C-span, and he is quite mad.  He reiterated that the 18-page letter to Bush was a call to “good.”  IOW he’s calling him to Islam and will blow us to Allah if Bush doesn’t accept.  August 22 should be interesting.

    He is sort of a dork, Texas Bob.  My guess is, one too many wedgies.
