Knock, Knock, Knockin' on Heaven's Door

The Sea of Demonstration

There have been two topics of conversation in the U.S. this week.

1) The weather which has been virtually nationally ghastly; and,

2) The Egyptian uprising.

The national media sent correspondents into Egypt by the planeload, including Silver Fox Anderson Cooper who was punched ten times in the head by demonstrators who obviously didn't appreciate his importance. Leave our CNN reporter and New Year's Eve icon alone, you savages!

The U.S. State Department told Americans in Egypt to get the hell out days ago, but one 76-year-old woman named Mary Thornberry did not go and now she's expressing her displeasure with the U.S. Embassy and Egyptian authorities.

Well, Mary, you should have left when you had the chance. Now you're left in your sixth floor apartment with a rolling pin as a weapon against the swarming mass of humanity outside your shattered lobby door.

Your building has the distinction of being the one having had the most Molotov cocktails thrown at it. Mazel tov!

Mary is a real "people lover" according to her son who lives in Seattle and adores her adopted country.

Hmmm. Maybe not any more.
