Former presidential candidate, Sheikh Abu Ismail, using freedom of the press to condemn freedom of the press.

He also is the "ban the bikinis" guy.

Here's a little Egyptian humor about him. Yeah, I know it's in Arabic, but if you just watch this guy you'll understand what I mean.

It's called "Highway to Abu Ismail" and the irony is a hoot.

Prime Minister says president will issue a new declaration about his last declaration (sure is confusing!), people should go home, if this keeps up the already crappy economy will get worse:

Hope you are well and safe

And someone needs to shut up that annoying Ismail.

President Mohamed Morsy is looking for a way to delay the referendum that will not contradict his constitutional declaration, Prime Minister Hesham Qandil said on Saturday evening.

Morsy's 22 November constitutional declaration, puts his decisions above appeal. The declaration was supposed to be is valid until until a full constitution is ratified.

Speaking on the 90 Minutes program on the Satellite Mahwar channel on Saturday evening, Qandil said Morsy has "no objection" to delaying the referendum.

Qandil said that the disagreements over the declaration should be resolved at the negotiating table, not on the streets through violence and demonstrations.

Qandil also said that following the "national dialogue" meeting that President Mohamed Morsy called at the presidential palace on Saturday that participants had agreed to form a committee that will amend the text of the 22 November constitutional declaration which expanded Morsy's executive and judicial powers.

Morsy had earlier said that he would not be participating in the meeting so as to ensure the neutrality of its outcome.

From what I have heard and read, the military in Egypt is respected and trusted as representative of the average people... much moreso than the police, who have long been regarded as crooked.
