Well actually, Mubarak was put in place by the military, and during the revolution they decided not to help him and play the good guys. We have yet to see if things will actually change or if the military will only find another Mubarak to reign with an iron fist.

” Sorry, but hearing Governor Walker explain why he raided the pension fund for Wisconsin’s teachers and gave it to his rich buddies, and why this means that he has to take away their right to negotiate contracts…it kinda gets to ya after a while.”

… Doesn’t this actually make perfect sense, in an evil fashion? I mean, of COURSE you need to limit the rights of the people that you are victimizing, otherwise they might be able to stop you. And his rich buddies definitely needed that money, or else they might not have been able to set up shell corporations to manipulate the next election in their favour.

There will always be suckers. That CNN, instead of learning ’em, makes more of them by allowing Fox News’ accusations of liberal bias dictate their fairness policy is, to me, far sadder.

What’s really sad about Wolf Blitzer is that he started off, just with his name, so far ahead of the curve on coolness, and lost it all.

Wolf Blitzer, born 22/03/48….
Two more years, baby. And his money is in 401s, not company pension. When the network goes down, it’ll be Wolf that’s laughing. Because Wolf’s rich, baby.

Cut ahead five years. It’s half an hour after the supermarket opens. Because Wolf, he doesn’t need to line up at opening to get his hands on markdown cake. He eats breakfast at Starbucks. Starbucks! Because he’s rich, baby.
Down the aisles he goes, stopping employees, telling them about Oahu and Mazatlan. He goes three times every winter. Because he’s rich, baby.
He wears a Tilly vest and a Tilly hat, and he carries his Iphone so he can check his busy schedule. He’s as with it as he is rich, baby.
Then to MacDonald’s for coffee with the gang. that’s what they can afford. Not him. Once a week, he buys. More than that, they’d resent. They all know he’s rich, baby.
His Filipino helper picks him up then. She’s young and pretty. He doesn’t need a helper. He’s just got one. He doesn’t even need a scooter. He’s trim and healthy, like rich people are. Baby.
Next he’s on his way to dinner with the nephews and the nieces. He’s got a standing invite, because he lent Mom and Dad the money for the reno. Dinner’s good, but best is hearing the kids play “who wants Uncle Wolf’s money more?” Uncle Wolf’s rich, baby.

You think Wolf’s not cool? Dream on, baby.

The dread secret of military leadership has nothing to do with weapons or tactics, it’s the simple fact that an officer daren’t give an order he KNOWS won’t be obeyed. The senior officers of the Egyptian army realized this, while the senior officers of the Libyan army have evidently forgotten it.

I listen to a lot of XM Radio’s “Radio Classics” channel and their ads are much the same sort of thing: Fear, Gold, Fear, Malware, Fear, Prostate, Fear, and Insurance on a constant loop.
