China Nervous

Well, lookee here. China has blocked the search term "Egypt" from it's look-alike Twitter service.

It seems that the Communist Party doesn't want people knowing about successful popular revolutions that are happening in other parts of the world. We can't have freedom spreading, can we? What might happen if popular uprisings started toppling the long-held power structure?

In other news closer to home, we see that our Gummint is considering an Internet Kill Switch. Some say that it's necessary to ensure the security of vital cyberspace interests of the United States. Others say that it's an Internet Kill Switch.

They told me that if I voted for John McCain, we'd have the government.... oh, hell, this is too easy.

Are these riots REALLY about democracy? I have a feeling (no I'm not a liberal) that the real demonstrators are islamic or anarchists or one world order types.

I have a feeling that once the smoke clears; we will see a new party in power. And this party won't be friendly to the good ole USofA. (the good ole USofA that we need to get back to; not this hopey changey usa that we have now.) In fact I will predict that the obumbler will welcome that new party with open arms.

So Obama should PO the new party immediately? Not. I'm mighty afraid Egypt is about to become an Islamic state. A radical Islamic state is more than likely.
