Paul's Blog watch
If and when Paul Martin becomes leader of Canada's federal Liberal party and subsequently Canada's next Prime Minister his weblog will be a first for anyone in a comparable role. Shame he has not updated it since June 11.
What is a weblog, or "blog", you may ask? According to Paul's Blog:
No, it’s not a swamp creature. It’s a term used to describe an internet trend that has exploded over the last decade. A blog is a small web page made up of short, regularly updated messages that are arranged in chronological order — like a “what’s new” page, or a journal.
If anyone at Paul Martin's campaign is reading this - and the Flea's referral log suggests you are - try asking our next Prime Minister what a "permalink" is.

Geee...even my entries, courtesy of the world's slowest web log, my original and still used name for it...come faster than this guy.
And I'm not planning on running any countries, either!
C'mon, Paul, get with the program!

I think Paul has forgotten the "regularly updated messages" part.
None of his handlers could ghost-write any content for him? I think a candid blog from a politician would be a fascinating glimpse into the political process. Too bad such a thing could never exist as it would be like giving an opposing team your playbook before the big game...

I guess the closest we've gotten so far was that "Inside the War Room" documentary that came out about the Clinton run for the presidency (first Clinton, first run for accuracy).
Anybody recall if it came out before or after the election?
