Oh Egypt. My heart is with you.

The U.S. is all over this. With both sides claiming an advantage in the polls, even though there's no supposed preliminary tally or organized way of tracking early votes, there are ad lib rule changes favoring the military heavy party in the ninth hour. Constitutional alterations on the spot.

The Christians don't want to bow to Islam every morning. Women don't want to be covered up and fondled in hundred degree weather. Al Queda using Egypt as their next home base (some say that is already happening)? The U.S. aiming to squash them and keep it status quo, even if Hillary is saying something else depending on the situation.

This explains why my NYT alert informed me "Hosni Mubarak, Ousted Egyptian Leader, Declared Clinically Dead, Officials Say" (emphasis mine).

This is just like that Behind the Music when Nikki Sixx explained the origins of "Kickstart My Heart." Like Nikki, Mubarak was only clinically dead.
