schizos

Nice piece in CNN about Egypt's ailing democracy movement.

The reason why I'm blogging about it is that there's an interesting quote from Hisham Bastawisi, the judge who accused some of his colleagues who were overseeing the November 2005 parliamentary elections of aiding and abetting government-inspired electoral fraud.

Bastawisi said:

It's like schizophrenia. The government talks about democracy but acts like a dictatorship. They talk about an independent judiciary then try to control it. They talk about combating corruption while corruption increases.

If I understood correctly, Bastawisi was implying that the president is a schizo.

But there are two advantages to having multiple personality:

1- His therapist might give him a group discount.
2- Masturbation becomes an orgy.
