BP Blog Finds Upbeat Side of Oil Spill
By Hugh Collins - AOL News(June 24) -- If images of gushing oil, fouled beaches and pelicans coated in crude get too depressing, BP may have just the antidote. The company's blog has proved adept at finding the positive, hopeful side of America's worst-ever oil disaster. In its reports, BP is congratulated for its straight talk, being able to see the spill with your own eyes is a "privilege," and one of the big causes of complaints is boat owners unable to sell their services to the oil giant. In one entry, BP reporter Paula Kolmar describes the cleanup operation as a "mesmerising ballet at sea." Peter Andrew ...
'Ex-Wife's Wedding Dress' Creator: 'I'd Say I'm a 7'
By Billy Baker - AOL News(May 29) -- When Kevin Cotter's wife of 12 years packed up and moved out last year, she left behind one thing: her wedding dress. She told him he could do whatever he wanted with it ... and he has. Cotter's blog, My Ex-Wife's Wedding Dress, has become a viral phenomenon, showing him using that white lace gown for everything from flossing his teeth and straining spaghetti to making a yoga mat and dressing a scarecrow (complete with a Darth Vader mask). Cotter, a 36-year-old from Tucson, says the project began when he was having dinner with his family and they started coming up with ideas about ...

Interns Behaving Badly
By Patricia Murphy - Politics DailyIf summer in Washington has a calling card, other than air so heavy we could cart it around in wheelbarrows, it is without question the arrival of the D.C. summer intern. Most congressional offices take as many interns as their small office spaces can physically accommodate. After all, free help is hard to find, and helping out a donor's son or daughter is truly priceless. Once arrived in its new habitat, the D.C. summer intern quickly becomes a breed of animal so complex, entire zoo exhibits could be dedicated to it. Curious and driven, privileged and pampered, no two D.C. summer interns are ...
Interleague Baseball Is Boring: Cleveland-Rockies Live Blog
By B. Thompson Stroud - AOL NewsBaseball is America's pastime, but had our forefathers enjoyed the modern conveniences of clocks, ball pumps, or haste, this pastime may well have been basketball or football. Instead, they had wood, leather, and a rudderless disposition. Baseball is Boring is a series of live blogs for folks who need irony and self-awareness to get through a game.My girlfriend and I go to a lot of games in Cleveland, and for a change we decided to check out one of the Minor League teams. She took a look at the schedule and laughed at the team names. I told her that a weird-funny team name (Everett AquaSox) ...
The Dugout: Blogs Slash Zim
By B. Thompson Stroud - AOL NewsEarlier today, Fanhouse blogger Josh Alper (Dugout username: AmburgerAlper) brought the web log of Washington Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman to our attention. Long story short he writes like a happy third grader and as someone who works almost exclusively in hearsay and slander I think it's great. Imagine if David Wright's blog was about how fantastic his lunch was. And hey, we never talk about the Nats without talking about SteakGrowsOnDmitri, so I thought it was about time to give big ups to the motherland of Caucasia and represent the white folk of our nation's capital. No, not all ...
www.ahmadinejad.ir
By Justin Paulette - Politics DailyAhmadinejad has a blog. The Iranian president, apparently having learned the value of waging a robust Information War (perhaps from his allies amongst Al Qaeda), maintains a personal blog. The site provides Ahmadinejad's writings on a wide array of issues, from an article entitled, "Guideline for Islamic Governance," to a letter addressed to an American mother who lost her son in Iraq. The irony of this approach to propaganda is tragic. Since Ahmadinejad's election, bloggers have come under increased scrutiny and persecution from the government. "Censorship has been so wide," reports the NY ...
