    He thinks he's bigger than the story.

    OT: Has anyone here been to Cairo? I've always imagined it might smell bad when hot.

      I've been there, several years ago. It was very cool and even modern. A great place to vacation. The bad thing was that everyone wanted to sell us something or asked for baksheesh. I don't remember it smelling bad.

          I went to Cairo 14 years ago. A fantastic place.

              Sad, she was reporting on the happy, jublient crowd, not the thugs we heard so much about? Not a good place to be. In a mob whether they are happy or mad.

                  Especially in the developing world. I think these reporters sometimes forget where they are.

                      More than an ass. He is an armchair media whore who needs to shut the hell up.. In fact, I think it would be a good idea to have him dropped into the middle of Egypt and face the same attacks. "Wouldn't that be funny" (I am sure he would think so...)

                        At least he didn't put crosshair marks on contested congressional districts that had absolutely no influence on a nutjob's decision to shoot a congresswoman in the head. Now that crossed the line.
                        Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

                          Reportedly he's already resigned from his position at NYU and issued multiple apologies.

                            I was talking with my brother the other day about the events in Egypt. He spent a couple of years at the Embassy there in the early '00s and still keeps in touch with some the people there.

                            He was mildly surprised that the military didn't take a stonger stand supporting Mubarak

                            He is not particulary worried about the Muslim Brotherhood taking over, because the military is so tightly tied with the US - He doesn't think they would allow it.

                            He is extreemly worried about the safety of some of Egytians he knew that worked for the Embasssy - In light of what happened to Lara Logan it looks like he might have legitimate worries.

                            I may be small, but I'm slow.

                            A veteran - whether active duty, retired, or national guard or reserve is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to, "The United States of America ", for an amount of "up to and including my life - it's an honor."
