The curse of the Sinai?
Karin: I concur completely the whole Egyptian meltdown has more twists and turns then a mountain road.Including the treacherous conditions!UPDATED BELOW This was starting to look like a case of needing more background. Myself, I am coming away with the idea that the military bloodbath and all that has ensued is serving as some sort of distraction from the Sinai region on one level. On any other levels?

Mafia's Rep In Congress-- Michael "Mikey Suits" Grimm-- Is Still Not In Prison
Ken used to be an opera critic for the NY Times but, that aside, neither of us get many calls from ace Times reporters working on explosive investigative pieces about criminal congressmen. A couple years ago, though, several Times reporters called me because, it turns out, DWT was the first to report anything at all about a rogue FBI agent named "Mikey Suits" who went over to the Dark Side-- first to the Mob and then to the GOP for the Mob.

The Lord of the Rings – FLNWO #07
The Lord of the Rings is an epic tale of good and evil, centering around a lowly hobbit’s quest to destroy the One Ring with its magical power before it falls into the hands of Sauron, the dark lord. The story is well-known by now, if not in its own right then from the popular Hollywood adaptations of the tale. But what is the deeper significance of the story? What does the ring really stand for? Is the ring a symbol of our quest for political power, and if so, then was Tolkein an anarchist?

Is Obama Turning Earth Over To Aliens?
I can't wait to see which Republican troll-- I'd bet on fake preacher Bryan Fischer or one of two Texas congressmen, Louie Gohmert or domestic terrorist Steve Stockman-- is the first to accuse Obama of being in thrall to aliens from Mars. The proof: His unjustified anger at Ed Snowden may be due to the exposure of Area 51, where the U.S. works jointly with aliens on various projects.
