So, you think some of the "patriotic" displays we've seen since September 11 are a bit on the cheesy, commercial side? (Such as the stickers in store windows showing a shopping bag made out of a US flag with the legend "US: Open for Business")
Well, the Egyptians have now reached a new height in cheesy political displays...
OK, so it's not as crass as the flag/shopping bag, but it's getting there, isn't it?

About Me
- Ken Goldstein
- Santa Cruz Mountains, California, United States
- By day I consult to local nonprofit agencies. When there is actual spare time I make videos, music, and write cultural and political rants and occasional fiction. My other interests include food, travel, books, and movies.
