Look who is talking ??
From fours days ago the Egyptian Ministers spoke on the News night talk shows to justify the latest economic decisions of the Nazif cabinet. Minister Ahmed Al Magrabhi said on Al Mahwar 90 minutes unrealistic claims that these decisions were taken to help the poor and they will take from the rich and give to the poor !! Sorry the correct terms take from the Capable to the incapable !!?? as you see vague terms !! Define the Capable and the Incapable !! He also mentioned something about the Social justice !!
Anyhow I do not think that Choosing Ahmed Al Magrabhi who is heading some committee was a correct choice to speak about the living situation in Egypt , the social justice and the poor Vs. Rich. read more »

Down with the Facebook
The Facebook now is the official enemy of state.The blogs are no longer the danger on the State but it is the Facebook.

Al-Qursaya island
Q: Why is this story of the egyptian army's seizure of land and homes not reported in the egyptian media or anywhere on the blogsphere?
A: Because critisizing the army in any way can land you for at least year in jail. Plus, whatchu gonna do? Call them thieves? Can't really steal what you already own, and they own all of our asses. You know why? Cause they got guns and we don't. Yay for Gun Control Laws.
Sigh…

In Memory Of The 6th Of October War (Yom Kippur War)
It has been 34 years since the 6th Of October War (Yom Kippur War).
If anyone searches the Internet for info about the war or asks a foreigner what they know about that war, the result is one thing... The Israelis won!
