And the Eternal shall make Himself known to Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know the Eternal that day; yea, they shall worship with sacrifice and offering, and shall vow a vow unto the Eternal and shall perform it…

–Isaiah 19:21

Though I kinda wish that Hosni would make his speech already… and then there’ll be a bunch of reaction and analysis and analysis of analysis and reaction to analysis…

Here’s video of Tahrir Square:

(Skimming the typically paranoid and Islamophobic and Obamaphobic comments at HotAir, I’ve never been gladder to have dropped those losers.)

Wanted to say, let’s wrap this up so CK can get to work… but maybe that’s hopeless…  The show must go on…

UPDATE

Next verse:  Isaiah 19:22 :  It’s almost as though they were trying to provoke a violent reaction and/or justify a coup.

  1. what’s bothering you about the comments at HotAir?

    How could anyone in the Middle East hate America that much? 9/11 was bad; but this is worse.

    I don’t understand that one. I know it must be something foul, but I don’t understand it.

    However, if you’re going to start ribbiting at MW, I just might have to break my HA fast and join you there. I’ve been sorely tempted several times lately.

    that one was someone saying that the Egyptians are trying to toss Mubarak because Egyptians hate the US and if Mubarak goes it’ll be the worstest ever.

    I don’t want you to worry about the nasty people at Mondoweiss being mean to me. I’ll be …OK.

    I did warn you about that hasbara stuff.

    Well, if Scott wasn’t pre-occupied, he might be able to supply us with the Yogic term for the foul stupidity that surpasseth understanding.

    As for HA vs MW and a lot else on the web: The spirit of the internet, especially in blog comments, is negative in the philosophical sense. This negativity often gets converted into simple crude expressions, and is also subjected to a tendency to compensate for anomie and disconnection with exaggerated false familiarity and bad manners – statements that seem to provide emotion, presence, individuality, shape…
