Mood: bombed

[avram]

Just this afternoon I was joking about Saddam Hussein having a LiveJournal, and now a friend on a mailing list pointed me at kim_jong_il__. There’s also kim_jong_il. osama seems to have run out of steam after two pretty uninspired entries, and binladen and osamabinladen have been suspended. saddam seems to be an actual, earnest journal by some guy named Grant with weird taste in handles, hussein is pretty much unused, and saddamhussein has no entries (though I like his AOL IM name and interests).

Most of the people doing these seem to get bored of them after a while. georgewbush hasn’t been updated in a year, georgebush has no entries, dubya has been “deleted and purged”, and bush had one entry at the start of the war after a couple of years with none.

clinton has six entries, most recent at the end of 2001, billclinton seems to be another actual journal by someone who chose a jokey handle, and only made one entry, and that incoherent. hillaryclinton has no entries, hillary has two boring ones. bobdole is a friends-only journal that doesn’t seem to have anything to do with that guy who ran for president and talks like Cerebus, but does have a nice design.

While one enjoys being Prime Minister, there's still room for a place to talk about life and politics without worrying about being misquoted by the bloody Guardian again.

My guess is that hussein is a college student, and it's the guy's last name. It seems a fairly common name.
