GOP Launched a New Website (Straight Into a Dumb Brick Wall)
This is somewhat old news but, I'll explain below why I'm posting this now after all the coverage it's already received. As you may have heard from numerous news outlets, on Oct. 13, 2009 the GOP launched a new website, namely, GOP.com that had some problems.
Oh, GOP, you're like that elderly person from the early 1990's who tries over and over again to set the time on your VCR to no avail. After every failed attempt the VCR continually flashes "12:00" in what you believe is a mocking, condescending manner. Or GOP, you're like the 90's elderly person trying to look cool as you show off your new, hip cassette tapes to your younger friends, friends who wonder if you've heard of CD's.
One of the most covered aspects of the new GOP site was RNC chairperson Steele's blog titled, "What Up?". One day after launch they changed the name of the blog. I wonder why.
Another heavily covered snafu at GOP.com was the "future leaders" section of the site which displayed an error message or was blank part of the day it was launched.
Oh irony, you are a cruel, cruel mistress.
They've supposedly fixed the "future leaders" problem. They "fixed" the "future leaders" page by adding some prose that still does not list any future leaders of the GOP. I'm serious. And that's why I went ahead and wrote about the GOP's new site more than a week after its horrendous launch. GOP.com's "future leaders" section, as of this post on Oct. 21, 2009, still lists no one more than a week after the site's launch. Now, irony has evolved into plain, old stupid. Why even have a "future leaders" section? Sure, invite folks to give their 2 cents but, maybe, just maybe, you should list some up and comers in your party. Otherwise, it makes your party look lost. Just a thought.
To quote a famous GOP'er, "fool me once, shame on-shame on you. Fool me, you can't get fooled again." Apparently, the GOP can be fooled again(original GOP.com launch) and again(Steele's "What Up?" blog) and again(error on "future leaders" page) and again(fixed "future leaders" page still lists no one). Now if only the GOP could figure out how to set the time on its darn VCR...

THE REVOLUTION WILL NOT BE TELEVISED
...the Iranian revolution is also being blogged & YouTubed, but, not televised by independent news organizations, thanks to Iran's "democratically" elected government.
THE REVOLUTION WILL NOT BE TELEVISED
...at least the Iranian revolution(if this is indeed the beginnings of a revolution) or, at the very least, unrest is being tweeted, as well as being blogged & YouTubed. But, it's not being televised by free and independent news organizations thanks to Iran's "democratically" elected government.

Really?!?!? You're Really Going to Photoshop a Crowd Picture, Really (Government Controlled) Iranian Media?!?!?
The Iranian controlled news organization released the below pro Ahmadinejad rally photo that was apparently photo shopped to make the crowd appear larger.
First of all, this might have worked during the cold war if it had been the Politburo releasing an altered pro Chernenko rally photo in the 1980's but, it's not the 1980's and it's not like Iran hasn't tried this before. Iran released a photo shopped image of a missile launch just last year.
