#1 Bouyed up by his success in effecting a ceasefire in Gazoo, President Mohamed Morsi has acted the wrong way -- he has given himself sweeping powers in a move that the opposition calls "a coup against legitimacy"
He was going to do it sooner or later. This was the perfect time; essentially cutting the White House off at the knees.

#3 SM is right. Do it now before the idea of democracy really takes hold and it will be a 2hr. story.

Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
