  4. The entertainment possibilities from parodies of a Dubya blog are endless.

    One could start with the page design as a template, and use a RSS feed from a random LiveJournal for content...

  5. What? No comments? Hmmmm... I thought George loved listening to feedback! I'm sure it would be nothing but positive.

  6. All kinds of evidence that Dubya.com doesn't get it. Lack of comments is one thing, but massive whitewash content, and of course, "Official Blog" is a giveaway.

    I guess they heard Dean was getting some involvement this way, and decided to do it, too.

    Good thing Dubya's crew believes that blogs really are just a publishing mechanism. Otherwise, I'd be bothered.
