<p>The Americans offer Green Card to Egyptians who sign a contract to work for at least six months, and the recruiters can extend the period.</p>
<p>Egyptians in problems with the immigration office receive SMS messages or telephone calls ask them to think about this “job opportunity” and the green card.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p >I recently watched Morgan Spurlock&#8217;s documentary entitled: &#8220;Where In The World Is Osama Bin Laden.&#8221; Unfortunately the title is too long hence I could not fit it in the title of the blog but it is a rare documentary combining humor with solid facts. Morgan Spurlock for those who do not know him became famous for his documentary <em><strong>Super Size Me</strong></em> released on May 7, 2004 which was later nominated for an Academy Award for best Documentary.  I have never watched Spurlock&#8217;s <em><strong>Super Size Me</strong></em> but became a fan of his TV Show 30 days after watching the first episode of season one entitled: &#8220;<a href="http://www.tv.com/30-days/show/36402/episode.html?om_act=convert&amp;om_clk=tabssh&amp;tag=tabs;episodes" >Minimum Wage.</a>&#8220;</p>
<blockquote><p>Morgan Spurlock and his fiancée Alex leave their fabulous New York lifestyles behind for the heart of the Midwest, Columbus, Ohio. Morgan and Alex work at multiple minimum wage jobs for 30 days earning $5.15 per hour. They get to experience first hand the struggles minimum wage earning families face as Morgan&#8217;s niece and nephew come to live with them</p></blockquote>
<p >His latest documentary emerged because his wife was pregnant and he wanted to make the world a safer place by finding Osama Bin Laden, the worlds most wanted man. He does this by flying to Egypt, Afghanistan, Jordan, Saudia Arabia and Pakistan talking to regular people as well as those with ties to terrorism about Bin Laden as well as the &#8220;War on Terror.&#8221; A few facts from the documentary:</p>
<ol>
<li>Some Muslims believe that America wants to eradicate Islam</li>
<li>There were 13720 terrorist attacks in 2007, a significant increase since America invaded Iraq</li>
<li>The majority of Muslim people do not support Al-Qaeda</li>
</ol>
<p >I really enjoyed this documentary because it was enlightening while mixing up those serious moments with moments of humor. It can be purchased from Amazon.com for <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Where-World-Osama-Bin-Laden/dp/B0018PH3NI/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=dvd&amp;qid=1219142270&amp;sr=8-1" >$16.99</a> if you haven&#8217;t seen it in the theater&#8217;s otherwise alternatively you can buy the book.  If you have enough to read, the documentary is just over 90 minutes which flies by quite quickly, an 8/10 on my personal ten point scale.</p>

The lawsuits reached to the level of&#160; treason &#34;<a href="http://shbabmisr.com/?xpage=view&#38;EgyxpID=15477" target="_blank">Shabab Misr Party</a>&#34; , yeah treason !! Wow that is really big word , Nour did not sell our secret airport location to Obama in his letter folks !! Already it is first time I hear that you can sue a person for treason , is n't this a matter of national security nature&#160; ??     <br />The timing was for sure critical because the letter came after the trial of Saad El-Din Ibrahim and the denouncement of Margaret Scobey to the court order. It was an open invitation for the regime and his men to start the attack against the famous figures of liberalism in Egypt.     <br />The campaign did not stop here.     <br />The official newspapers started their attacked on a daily basis last week.Al Ahram and Rosa Al Youssef were in the lead , Abdullah Kamal wrote another letter to Obama , Ahmed Moussa wrote a very provoking report in a whole page last Saturday, I was going to lose my nerves when I read his essay despite I am not a Nour fan.He kept referring to Nour as the Prisoner and the Forgerer over and over in a sick way.     <br />Ahmed Moussa is from the reasons why I do not trust or watch &#34;Cairo Today Show&#34; on Orbit.     <br />Last week Mona El-Shazely interview Gamila Ismail , the wife of Nour about the letter her husband had sent , she believed that the letter won't let her husband go.     <br />Here is the interview ,you can watch it here , it is in Arabic.</p> <object width="390" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/p/1C6935BC5DEA5DCE"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/p/1C6935BC5DEA5DCE" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="390" height="385"></embed></object>  <p>BY the way Nour <a href="http://www.almasry-alyoum.com/article2.aspx?ArticleID=130065" target="_blank">confirmed that he sent that letter</a> to Obama from his jail .</p>  <div style="padding-right: 0px; padding-left: 0px; float: none; padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-top: 0px; display: inline" id="scid:0767317B-992E-4b12-91E0-4F059A8CECA8:66bf96fd-7326-4dcd-9295-279c8d4dc6c6" class="wlWriterSmartContent">Technorati Tags: <a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Ayman+Nour" rel="tag">Ayman Nour</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Egypt" rel="tag">Egypt</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Obama" rel="tag">Obama</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Presidential+elections" rel="tag">Presidential elections</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/American+presidential+elections" rel="tag">American presidential elections</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Presidential+elections+2008" rel="tag">Presidential elections 2008</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Barack+Obama" rel="tag">Barack Obama</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Mubarak" rel="tag">Mubarak</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Gamila+Ismail" rel="tag">Gamila Ismail</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/America" rel="tag">America</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/National" rel="tag">National</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Media" rel="tag">Media</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/human+rights" rel="tag">human rights</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Citizen+Journalism" rel="tag">Citizen Journalism</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/politics" rel="tag">politics</a></div><div class="feedflare">

It was an open invitation for the regime and his men to start the attack against the famous figures of liberalism in Egypt.     <br />The campaign did not stop here.     <br />The official newspapers started their attacked on a daily basis last week.Al Ahram and Rosa Al Youssef were in the lead , Abdullah Kamal wrote another letter to Obama , Ahmed Moussa wrote a very provoking report in a whole page last Saturday, I was going to lose my nerves when I read his essay despite I am not a Nour fan.He kept referring to Nour as the Prisoner and the Forgerer over and over in a sick way.     <br />Ahmed Moussa is from the reasons why I do not trust or watch &quot;Cairo Today Show&quot; on Orbit.     <br />Last week Mona El-Shazely interview Gamila Ismail , the wife of Nour about the letter her husband had sent , she believed that the letter won't let her husband go.     <br />Here is the interview ,you can watch it here , it is in Arabic.</p> <object width="390" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/p/1C6935BC5DEA5DCE"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/p/1C6935BC5DEA5DCE" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="390" height="385"></embed></object>  <p>BY the way Nour <a href="http://www.almasry-alyoum.com/article2.aspx?ArticleID=130065" >confirmed that he sent that letter</a> to Obama from his jail .</p>  <div  id="scid:0767317B-992E-4b12-91E0-4F059A8CECA8:66bf96fd-7326-4dcd-9295-279c8d4dc6c6" class="wlWriterSmartContent">Technorati Tags: <a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Ayman+Nour" rel="tag">Ayman Nour</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Egypt" rel="tag">Egypt</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Obama" rel="tag">Obama</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Presidential+elections" rel="tag">Presidential elections</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/American+presidential+elections" rel="tag">American presidential elections</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Presidential+elections+2008" rel="tag">Presidential elections 2008</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Barack+Obama" rel="tag">Barack Obama</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Mubarak" rel="tag">Mubarak</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Gamila+Ismail" rel="tag">Gamila Ismail</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/America" rel="tag">America</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/National" rel="tag">National</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Media" rel="tag">Media</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/human+rights" rel="tag">human rights</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Citizen+Journalism" rel="tag">Citizen Journalism</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/politics" rel="tag">politics</a></div><div class="feedflare">

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Since the former Democratic Presidential candidate John Edwards admitted to having an extra-marital affair, bloggers from around the world following the story have largely focused on two major issues: First, the sad irony of a politician having an affair while his wife, Elizabeth, fights breast cancer; Secondly, the role the mainstream press played in keeping the story silent.</p>
<p>A few reporters admitted they knew of the candidate’s infidelities with a videographer long before John Edwards provided proof in a recent <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/08/us/politics/08text-edwards.html">statement</a> from Chapel Hill, North Carolina. In fact, the supermarket tabloid National Enquirer had been <a href="http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2008/07/national_enquirer_still_chasin.html">reporting the story for nearly a year</a>. Now that it has proven true, at least some members of the mainstream media establishment are <a href="http://voices.washingtonpost.com/washingtonpostinvestigations/2008/08/in_light_of_edwards_journos_fa.html">soul searching and shocked</a>that they sat on it for so long, especially when papers such as the New York Times <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/29/us/politics/29mccain.html?_r=1&#038;adxnnlx=1218687873-TBw%20nw3nEmQIjqE33J8w4A&#038;pagewanted=all">reported</a> on the alleged affairs of presumptive Republican nominee for President John McCain.     </p>
<p>For <a href="http://www.kiwiblog.co.nz/2008/08/coddington_on_edwards.html#comment-475030">reid (1053)</a>, a commentator at Kiwiblog, not reporting the story doesn’t prove the impotence of the mainstream press in the United States. Rather, holding “scandals” over candidates’ heads anoints the media as kingmakers. </p>
<blockquote><p>The media have got enough to screw either McCain or Obama and it just depends which one those who control the agenda want to become POTUS. I said in Jan/Feb that the media will hold the dirt on Obama until about 4 weeks before the vote when it’s too late to do anything about it. (I imagine that homosexual trysts fueled by cocaine will be enough to prevent the first black candidate from being elected.)</p>
<p>At present that prediction still stands but as Adolf has pointed out on No Minister, Shillary hasn’t released her delegates and that’s an interesting wild card. Note though that there’s dirt on her too.</p>
<p>I find it amusing that some people really seem to think the US elections are free and open. They’re anything but.</p></blockquote>
<p>One of the reasons the story stayed in the news &#8212; at least the supermarket press &#8212; is that Reille Hunter, the object of Edward’s affection, became pregnant out of wedlock. (Hunter gave birth to a daughter on February 27, 2008.) Edwards, once a Senator from North Carolina, said he is not the father of the child. </p>
<p>A minor debate in the blogosphere targets the fallen image of John Edwards, who was once seen as a  charismatic politician who this election cycle helped push working-class poverty to a more prominent place in the political debate.  </p>
<p><a href="http://shilohmusings.blogspot.com/2008/08/disillusioned.html"><em>Shiloh Musings</em></a>, a blog in Israel, writes:  </p>
<blockquote><p>I remember how upset people were when it was revealed that JFK (and the other men in the family) weren&#39;t loyal to their wives. It&#39;s so hard to keep one&#39;s illusions, to believe what we see. I feel sorry for the young. </p></blockquote>
<p>Over at the Cuban-American blog <em>babalú</em>, there’s plenty of talk about <a href="http://www.babalublog.com/archives/009195.html">two-faced Democrats</a>, who have now gown through two major infidelity scandals in the past decade: &#8220;Good old liberals&#8230;.every hair in place during TV speeches&#8230;But after 5:30 PM, some R&#038;R.&#8221;</p>
<p>On the other hand, Egypt’s own <a href="http://www.sandmonkey.org/2008/08/14/regarding-john-edwards/"><em>Rantings of a Sandmonkey</em></a> considers himself an Edwards fan, stating “ I like my politicians the way I like my lawyers- scummy, fake, manipulative and pretty.”</p>
<p>Sandmonkey, however, holds out no compassion for Elizabeth Edwards, who after the 2004 election, learned she had breast cancer.</p>
<blockquote><p>But before you feel bad for his wife, please take a minute and chill. Don&#39;t think she is a victim. Ok, so she has cancer, that makes her a cancer victim, but come on, u get the idea. <a href="http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/8/8/193337/7354/473/564989">She knew of the affair in 2006</a>, and still supported his running for office in 2008, knowing full well that if that thing exploded around general election time- and of lookie, it just did- the chances of the Dems winning the presidency would&#39;ve been close to nill. But she went ahead anyway, aware of the affair, and keeping her mouth shut, defending him, appearing everywhere, using her cancer to guilt people into donating to their campaign and most recently to get herself a speaking gig at the convention- in order to get that coveted female terminal cancer victims whose husbands cheated on them demographic, it&#39;s soo important- and a Think Tank job. The woman&#39;s ambition and complicity puts Hillary&#39;s to shame, and now that Hillary knows that, she is probably glad that Elizabeth has cancer. </p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://bedouina.typepad.com/doves_eye/2008/08/living-me-and-elizabeth-edwards.html<br />
&#8220;><em>Dove’s Eye View</em></a>, a blog from an Arab-American, who is also a cancer survivor, has a suggestion for those who think Elizabeth Edwards will crawl under a rock after this very public incident. </p>
<blockquote><p>Press coverage of her often includes comments that &#8220;she&#39;s dying.&#8221; Or they talk about how bad her prognosis is.</p>
<p>Fiddlesticks.</p>
<p>Elizabeth Edwards is living. First of all, I have been on Femara, which seems to be what EE is taking based on the Vanity Fair profile; my experience is that it&#39;s very easy to tolerate. You take a pill every day. Big deal. Elizabeth&#39;s cancer is not spreading and she is doing what she wants to do. She has problems. But she is living her life. And so am I.</p>
<p>I meet women all the time in the chemo ward who have been living with metastatic breast cancer for YEARS. One lady has had it for twelve years.</p>
<p>I am LIVING with cancer, and so is Elizabeth Edwards. Don&#39;t write us off.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You know, when he first showed up in the political scene, everybody in the democratic party called him the second coming of Bill Clinton. I guess they never knew how accurate they really were. Boy was I surprised. Mr. My dad worked in a windmill and I have a dead so and a cancer stricken wife is phony baloney. Who knew?</p>
<p>Well, it seems the answer to that question is..weirdly enough..<a href="http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2008/08/the-lies-of-joh.html#more">John Kerry:</a></p>
<blockquote>
<p>Kerry talked with several potential picks, including Gephardt and<br />
Edwards. He was comfortable after his conversations with Gephardt, but<br />
even queasier about Edwards after they met. Edwards had told Kerry he<br />
was going to share a story with him that he&#39;d never told anyone<br />
else&mdash;that after his son Wade had been killed, he climbed onto the slab<br />
at the funeral home, laid there and hugged his body, and promised that<br />
he&#39;d do all he could to make life better for people, to live up to<br />
Wade&#39;s ideals of service. Kerry was stunned, not moved, because, as he<br />
told me later, Edwards had recounted the same exact story to him,<br />
almost in the exact same words, a year or two before&mdash;and with the same<br />
preface, that he&#39;d never shared the memory with anyone else. Kerry said<br />
he found it chilling, and he decided he couldn&#39;t pick Edwards unless he<br />
met with him again.
</p>
</blockquote>
<p>This is the man whose wife found out that her cancer was back in march 2007, and father a kid in february 2008. Our boy cheated on his cancer-stricken wife. No wonder he was talking about two Americas, he was sleeping in two bedrooms, one in each America. But before you feel bad for his wife, please take a minute and chill. Don&#39;t think she is a victim. Ok, so she has cancer, that makes her a cancer victim, but come on, u get the idea. <a href="http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/8/8/193337/7354/473/564989">She knew of the affair in 2006,</a>  and still supported his running for office in 2008, knowing full well that if that thing exploded around general election time- and of lookie, it just did- the chances of the Dems winning the presidency would&#39;ve been close to nill. But she went ahead anyway, aware of the affair, and keeping her mouth shut, defending him, appearing everywhere, using her cancer to guilt people into donating to their campaign and most recently to get herself a speaking gig at the convention- in order to get that coveted female terminal cancer victims whose husbands cheated on them demographic, it&#39;s soo important- and a Think Tank job. The woman&#39;s ambition and complicity puts Hillary&#39;s to shame, and now that Hillary knows that, she is probably glad that Elizabeth has cancer. I mean that kind of brazen immorality combined with manipulating people&#39;s emotions and guilt has always been Hillary&#39;s shtick, and now comes Edwards wife, whose husband also cheated on her while she is battling cancer and after she lost a son? Hillary can&#39;t win against that in 2012. That&#39;s some heavy heavy guilt.</p>
<p>Alas, too bad, I always liked Edwards (I like my politicians the way I like my lawyers- scummy, fake, manipulative and pretty. Hallo, I did endorse Obama, people. That should tell you something) and the nice little image of the American dream realized that he and his wife have presented to us so well. No longer will women lament how they never got a man this decent, who is attractive, young-looking and a millionaire, and yet won&#39;t cheat on his old fat wife. They once again got their fantasy shattered and will continue to believe that we are all the same. Thanks John, you dick, for ruining even that for us. Now go chase an ambulance, you will need the money, having a new-born baby to raise that you probably hate now and everything. Enjoy.</p>
