No mercy for Morsi

Egypt is the nastiest place I've ever visited. Twenty five million rude and resentful people that we have been spoon-feeding for decades. This week's Time magazine says it well: “World's best protesters and world's worst democrats”. The military has now seen fit to pluck President Morsi from office:. Apparently he was under the delusion that he was “Ibis the Invincible” one of my Whiz comics heroes from the 1940's. Prince Ibis was a man of miracles who battled modern crime and evil with the aid of his magic Ibistick. Yes, they have pyramids, the Sphinx and the truly awesome Temple of Karnak but save your money if you're thinking of going there. Get the video instead. In Egypt the Arab spring has turned out to be Springtime for Morsi and the brotherhood, winter for everyone else. The funny thing is Morsi's from Ireland where he also played the lyre and wrote morose political songs. Rather than go to Boston he chose Egypt because they welcomed lyres. I guess he can always return to Dublin and resume his career. Wait a minute; am I thinking of Morrisey?
