'War Stories'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Interesting - the news this morning was saying that the military had stated they were in support of Mubarak.
According to an Egyptian friend of mine, the law in Egypt is that, in every family that has at least two sons, at least one of them has to join the army, so the army is generally seen as more representative of the people than the police, who are appointed by the government.
There's fishing for a compliment, and then there's cornering one and shooting it in the face.
Hah!!!
According to the radio (MSNBC), the military went to Mubarak last night and told him it was over. As in, if he didn't step down, soldiers were going to start donning civilian clothes and join the protesters.

Would it help that the CBC were talking about a split in the military this AM?

I have a feeling that in the 1950s Sexology was one of the few places people could get reasonable, non-judgmental, fact-based help about sexual issues.
This is sad:
I can't have any children because I had an operation when I was 29 years old and everything was removed except my womb. The doctors said it was a healthy organ and since I was still comparatively young, he would leave it in.
I have heard that doctors are replacing missing organs with plastic or some synthetic materials, and that they do function as before. If this is true please advise me as to where I can secure the vital information concerning such an operation.

I think "support" might be overstating it. There was a statement yesterday supporting the delegation of power to Suleiman, when people were hoping they'd explicitly back the protesters at that point. I think officially they tried to be restrained because, well, not everyone agreed -- there were some officers joining the protesters, and I assume others were personally backing Mubarak.
Oh god, wine coolers. I'm right there with the high school flashbacks. And the nausea.
Does anyone remember Matilda Bay?

Oh lord. I was trying to remember the name of that one.
Wow, Fred, that's heavy. continuing -ma for Egypt.
Mubarak is too brown for today's GOP, but being a cranky old militarist stuck in the past...well, I hear Kyl isn't running again. HM and John McCain should get together and go bowling/yelling at clouds. ION, the Treme soundtrack may be the Best CD In The world
