Holy Camel!

The Egyptian Sandmonkey, whose blog used to be called Rantings of a Sandmonkey (in my blogroll), is running for office in Egypt's elections - that is if the revolution succeeds. This is what you get when you click on his blog. (Sorry, it's all in Arabic.)

Who can forget his Seven Rules of the Arab Parallel Universe?

Godspeed, Sandmonkey. The immediate future doesn't look good, but with people like you coming up, the long term looks a whole lot better - as long as they don't kill you or beat you to a pulp as has been the tradition for far too many years.

PS: He has a pretty good program, too. Things we in the West take for granted.
