#1 It offends me to refer to a dictator as "president." So Mubarak is not going to hand off power to his ass-kissing son, he'll engineer it for one of his ass-kissing Generals. Tough luck, kid, daddy apparently thinks you'll get your ass handed to you. He's either shuffling off soon or sees the writing on the ME wall. Mebbe Dubya sent him a pink slip on the $2bn annual aid pkg. Poor as a church mouse without tourism, which offends the Islamists, Egypt looks like another Pakiwaki nightmare with no real hope.

#3 From HiPakistan:
CAIRO: The armed forces will all but certainly provide once again Egypt's next president, after Hosni Mubarak has said he will not bequeath power to his younger son Gamal, analysts said today. "The next president will most likely come from the military institution," said Dia Rashwan, an expert at the Al-Ahram Centre for Political and Strategic Studies.
