508) EgyTalks ... Zehe2t!

Is it only me who is feeling that, or the Egyptian talk-shows became extremely boring and repetitive. 10pm need lubrication, 90 mins needs less of the Moatazic show, Qahira Al Youm needs some seriousness, and el-beit beitak needs innovation, and all of them need less ads. I suggest having it twice a week instead of everyday.

"El beit betkom", you are invited at "el-3ashera msaa2an" lemodet "tes3een de2ee2a" 3ashan netfarrag 3ala "El Kahira El Youm" :)

507) Killing Me Hardly!

The killing incidents in 2008 -the public cases in specific- are increasing, and I am fed up with their coverage specially Heba/Nadeen case. Tooooo much talks and bla bla. I don't know if it really deserves all this or it is just a distraction from Talaat Mostafa's case?!

505) The Good-Bye Shoe!

President George W. Bush ducked a pair of shoes hurled at his head — one shoe after the other — in the middle of a news conference with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.

Both shoes narrowly missed their target and thumped loudly against the wall behind the leaders.

I have never seen or read about a president who had all of these accidents in his lifetime not only in 8 years. This man was stupid enough to unite the whole world against him. By the end of his term his party lost its presidential candidate, senate, and house, his country and world entered a severe financial and economic crisis, his army is facing trouble everywhere, and he is finally having his farewell kiss by an Iraqi shoe!!

Well done and deserved Mr.W!!

504) When the Sun Rises!

When I watch the sunrise everyday, I remember that the sequence of dark and light is part of the universal system, and hence life. I tell myself that no matter there is darkness in life, sunrise is coming, and when it comes, I enjoy it till the last minute.

502) Egyptians' Dignity in Arabia!

What is happening to Egyptians in Saudi Arabia is really unacceptable. I am not only talking about the 2 physicians but Egyptians in general starting from this un-human "Kafeel" system till marrying low class girls and having them as their families servants.

I will not talk about the ex-glory of Egypt and how we reached such stage, but what I wanna say is if we really are looking forward to have dignity (which is the threshold of glory), then we have to reconsider our attitude towards Khalijis in general inside and outside Egypt. I am saying this because the way we treat them in Egypt (beggars attitude) encourages them to treat us like that in their country.

Even if the Saudi's are totally wrong, I won't blame them for now... We have to work on ourselves first, because then we can stand on a solid ground and talk head-to-head with dignity. 

Please don't tell me it is all about the money! there are many poor countries in the world but they still have dignity. We are just letting go of our diginity in Egypt so inturn we are loosing it abroad!
