Roger Nowosielski (#6), you write: "In a way, the groundbreaking events in Egypt are the result of our own doings. We brought them to our front door." I wish you would please explain that a little.
Over the past three weeks, there's been widespread discussion about how the U.S. government has long supported Mubarak's authoritarian regime, to the tune of more than $1 billion a year. Yet I take it that's not what you mean by "groundbreaking events in Egypt."
Rather, it seems you're referring to the recent 18 days of mass protests and Mubarak's consequent resignation. In what way are those specifically the result of our own doings?
I'm reminded of the reaction by some to 9/11, saying that America brought the terrorist attacks on herself. Except that in the present case, neither the protests nor their outcome have taken place on our shores. Nevertheless, you claim, "We brought them to our front door."
You must know things the rest of us don't. Or does that go without saying?

Comment by roger nowosielski on Power to the People: Revolution in Egypt
In response to your third paragraph, Alan, yes. the people has finally woken up. They had put two and two together. I don't see any merit in your lame attempt to try to compartmentilize things, as though our foreign policy, the dictators we install, and sudden awakening on the part of the oppressed populace were somehow unrelated. Nice try tough.
I'm going to watch a movie now, but don't let that stop you. Come tomorrow, I'll do my best to answer all your queries to the best of my ability, as always.

Comment by PCW on An Open Letter To Henry Juszkiewicz
I am a former employee of Gibson Guitar-Henry Juszkiewicz/Dave Berryman. I was an artist rep in the early 90's prior to going to medical school. If you are a "guitar player" and not just a "guitar owner" avoid this company. Paul Reed Smith gets it done with much more integrity. HJ displayed some disturbing behaviors while I worked for his company in the early 90's. I highly suspect he is the same man today. The soul of Gibson was lost when it left it's original home in Kalamazoo, MI.

Comment by Garentite on TV Review: House, M.D. - "Two Stories"
I really respect this site and read and like all the feedback to Barbara's take about each episode.
I am really surprised though with the lack of posters comments that this episode was told through House's exaggerated interpretations of what really happened? The man is a liar and a great story teller but nothing of this episode can be proved of being of any truth because of that.
Barbara i am very surprised YOU didn't highlight that?
