The Irony of Egypt

By B Cole, Tuesday, November 22, 2011.

Egypt!  What a place.  Protests, military, statements from rulers, more protests, an ousting, happiness, more protests… it’s confusing.  Recently at work someone turned to me and said “What in the hell is going on over there?”.  My response was muffled, as my mouth was full of some terrible sandwich...
