It's Irony On A Base Level

(via Boing Boing)
Only people in America can access http://www.georgewbush.com/.

As always someone will try and fill an available gap. Apparently everyone can access http://www.georgewbush.org/, though. It bills itself as the "Official Re-selection Site" for Dubya, but this might be one of those "exaggerations".

Update: The BBC is reporting that the blocking has been done on purpose for "security reasons". It also gives an alternative address that you can use that actually works: http://65.172.163.222/

Two points of interest here are that the BBC also gives the .ORG parody site address as an alternative and that the real site and the parody site aren't particularly different in tone, it's just one of them is more ready to compare Kerry to the devil than the other (see if you can guess which, I'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised).
