My Favorite Song For Egypt by Shadya

The finest and the best song about what's great about Egypt, for the past four decades this song has been the rallying cry for Egyptians. When we think of people loving their home, this song comes to mind and the pictures of the people of Egypt standing to salute their county and their flag.

The slideshow that accompanies the iconic song reminds us of the great sights in Egypt, a tour in its history and thought its streets. And now we see the people on the streets marching to bring about change in their home country. Most of the citizens of the world stand united behind the people of Egypt who are doing their best to bring an end of the rule of the pharaoh.

Delivered by the daughter of Egypt and princess of her time Shadya, the Egyptian diva that retired years ago. However, Shadya songs never get old and this song of hers will be forever the most popular song ever written about the motherland. The lyrics, the music and the vocals are unmatched and likely will remain so.

Santa the Arabian One

So Santa might not be big in Arabia, so that got me to think...what is the Arab equivalent of Santa Clause?

Well, I just got from a dinner at a Moroccan place and I am ready to declare that belly dancers are the closest thing to Santa Clause Arabs got. Think about it, they only appear in festive times, those belly dancers know how to lift up your spirit and spreed cheers around and they can always tell who is nice and who is naughty.

Odd Stuff Arabs Like to Take Pictures of

As someone who has witnessed the arrival of many Arab tourists and visitors to the US, I have came to see them take pictures as evidence of their visit to America. As a rule of thump, Arabs prefer not pictures of food, it only says we are hungry and we come from poor families.

1. Cars, nice cars any cars really—a Honda might be classified as a nice car.
2. The McDonald’s golden arches and the KFC Bucket Logo—Taco is too weird.
3. Any one in uniform—a policeman, a firefighter, a plumber. (Oh Sweet Democracy).
4. Blondes—real of fake it does not matter.
5. Servers @ Hooters—only to be shared with the dudes back at home.
6. Hookahs, nothing screams I am keeping it real as blowing smoke.
7. Anything that comes on time is worth taking its picture.
8. Homeless folks with their coin jar to tell wise crack jokes about poor Americans.
9. Mosques and Arabic churches—they are like the Arab McDonald’s.
10. Government offices—Oh sweet Democracy.
11. Airplanes, we really cannot help by take pictures of those flying beasts.
12. Bridges, dams and those damn FBI undercover agents.
13. Segways, those silly mobility devices--Because the roads back home are not ready yet.
14. Extremely obese people moving on scooters.
15. Anybody that looks like a rapper. It says I got culture.
16. People in exercise outfit--Sorry we do not exercises and if we do, we are not wearing anything.

A safe rule is, if rednecks like something, chances Arabs will be taking pictures of. Big Cars, guns, animals, fireworks...etc.

Small Time Weapon Dealers

So here is some news from Miami,

A Cuban and a Palestinian immigrants were busted and will be sentenced for five years in prisons! Why because they were trying to purchase weapons and send them to the West Bank. "Read here"

Hamayel and Aguila met several times with the undercover cop and a second police officer posing as a weapons broker between May and June 2009 to discuss logistics. The meetings were secretly recorded.

It's so bizarre this story, I am not sure what to make of it. Was this dude buying weapons for the PA? it's unlikely becasue the PA get all their weapons for free from Uncle Same. How does this guy plan to send it to the West Bank? It's not like they have underground tunnels in the West Bank. He is clearly a moron and amateur at best. But the Libertarian in me wonders if there is a better way to deal with this guy that would be cheaper to tax payers. Why should an American citizen pay the costs of incarcerating these two clowns? Are they a threat to the US? Granted, they are a threat to a US alley.

My President is a Cheapskate

So the State Department gave a list of gifts President Obama and Michelle received from world leader... the best gifts they have received came from Dictators, the Saudi King wins the gold as he gave the gift of gold as well as a number of books and DVDs to the Daughters of the President. But the Palestinian president who has so little needed to get coverage and he got it.

Per Gawker

But what about the other end of the spectrum: Who was the cheapest gift-giver? That would be His Excellence Dr. Mahmoud Abbas, President of the Palestinian Authority, whose gift, a "bottle of olive oil," is valued at $75. Olive oil! Any schmuck can buy that stuff at the supermarket.


Do you see now how he made the news? He got his name listed and he gave away the massage that the Palestinians are dirt poor so the next thing that will happen the White House may cough up some money to Palestine. I think the First Lady may appreciate the gift more than the President becasue she is all about eating healthy and olive oil is good for you. I hope they gave President Obama some Za'atar for dips.

The Candid Guide to Arab Dictators

By Hanitizer

55Share

2011 is shaping up to be a rough year for Arab dictators, everyone is freaking out as they watch one of their own fall and the people whom they have screwed over for a long time, are finally fed up and gearing up for a fight. Well, being a dictator is not as easy as it looks. For starter, you have this thing called the internet you have to worry about it. So I gathered few tips for those up and coming dictators can use:

1. Un-invent the Internet, if possible.
2. Give the unemployment free Internet and cable TV with as many music video channels as you can find. Let them talk Haifa Wahbe all day.
3. Do not censor their Internet, let them watch pron all day. Those who watch porn all day won’t have the energy to protest in the streets, they have their hands full.
4. Don’t ever mess with the prices of flour, sugar, rice, and tea. It is very important to keep prices on tea as low as possible since it is the drink of choice to keep the unemployed at home. Tinker with the prices of flour and rice and you will have droves of angry homemakers who will aggravate their spouses, and their spouses will aggravate you.
5. Do not ever fire someone close to the army, just don’t. more often than not this is the the first nail in your regime’s coffin.
6. Build mosques and offer free food as those places, you will keep the religious folks there all day, a lot easier to keep an eye on them then.
7. Never listen to your spouse or let her/him outshine you. Keep the spouse on a short leash as every first grade dictator knows, you are doing this dictator thingy 24/7.
8. Do not touch white people’s money or investments, this will bring the end of you and your Regine. Never get caught uttering the word, “nationalize”
9. Have one of your kids serve in the army, it humanizes you with the foot soldiers and protects your regime and ensures the safety of your family.
10. Let them wear the Hijab if they chose to! This is natural since thanks to you, everyone in the country is working undercover for you.
11. Have the best soccer team money can buy, this is the one single tool that can keep the eyes of the people off you.
12. Delegate monopoly, if you 34or a family member want wants to monopolize a commodity or a service, us front groups. If you must have monopoly on anything, go after the boats, smart phones, and leather products. Leave Tobacco and sugar alone.
13. Avoid any confrontation with street vendors, because these guys can outshout anyone and they got nothing to lose and everything to gain, let them sell their produce in peace.
14. Ask popular musicians to sing for you and remind people that you are the “gifted one” and that on occasion god speaks to you as you are both on first name bases.
15. be coy and discreet about using the entire country and its resources as a giant ATM for your fantasies.
16. Keep your friends close, but keep your in laws even closer.
17. Go to the meat market, find the meanest butcher, make this guy your minister of interior. Then marry his sister only then you can have a good night sleep.

Good Luck and may the force be with you.
