How is that hypocrisy?

Oh, and I think WND is a great site, slick graphics, in your face headlines, well crafted. But as a cite, not so much.

Then attack the substance. Show us something more than your utterly worthless opinion as to WHY they are not a good cite. USe FACTS man, or are you too stupid to do that?

Look, Hosni! They’re **still** partying! And your Swiss bank accounts are frozen! The whole world hates you, Hosni! 🙂  
So you just mope around your palace at Sharm al-Sheik (the Egyptian Riviera) and try to console yourself with your dozen mistresses, you miserable . . .

What was that about? **Kozmik** didn’t even _mention_ Anderson Cooper.

You might want to check your links in preview before you hit “submit.” That second headline doesn’t say anything about tanks rolling out.

It reads: **DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN**

My opinion of democracy is still pretty dim. I would respect Mr Mubarak more if he’d abandoned the pretense of elections, made himself king/emir/eternal messiah/pharaoh/evs, & refused aid from the disgustingly democratic USA. People like Mubarak give absolute dictatorship a bad name.
