Sandmonkey in the media

There is a new article in the Pittsburg tribune that extensively mentions me and Big Pharaoh. Check it out!

Now you aren't just in the news, you are the news. Congratulations, it is well deserved. (It seems they forgot the link/url though)

You and Big Pharaoh are doing a huge service to combat stupidity. This is why I visit your two blogs so often. I love reading the rants, because believe it or not, it helps alleviate some of the insanity I feel after witnessing one act of stupidity after another.

Two times Anonymous.

Without succumbing to Bush-mania, I agree with both of you.

Perhaps the freedom-fighting could need a bit more reflection.

Sandmonkey says that all the loudmouthed Arabs happily criticizing the US would love to get a green card to go there. That is probably correct. But they can't get one! They have to stay where they are. And what do you do, if you're stuck with unemployment, ignorance and poverty. Of course it does not help to boycott Danish goods or feel hurt on behalf of the Prophet.

How do you modernize ME countries? It doesn't do just to hit people on the head with a copy of Jyllandsposten.

Ultimate cool!!

CD asks how do you modernize ME economies. Simple. Hard, but simple. Get the dictators to move over and create the conditions for democracy to take root.

I have a question about this sentence.

"The number of Egyptian blogs is growing, too, with 695 already registered."

Registered with whom? Or what? Does someone online maintain a directory of Egyptian blogs, like some folks do for Iraqi ones? Or does the Egyptian government require you to register your blog? If so, are they able to they enforce it against carefully anonymous bloggers?

I don't know if it's been asked before, but would it be asking too much for you anonymous posters to choose a number, and post as anonymous25 or anonymous99 so we can keep track of who's commenting?

Better yet, there's a new thing called "names" that you can use, and it doesn't even have to be your own!

Oh, and congrats, Sandmonkey. Investment banker, eh? You must be rolling in dough! Oh, I forgot, you're in Cairo. You might want to consider relocating to NY or London for a spell.

This ia ANONYMOUS 54 GB!

Gosh, I really knew you were destined to be serious celebrity dudes....

Seriously tho, I am a middle aged female socialist so I suspect we wouldd't agree on much except freedom of speech... but your blog is a breath of fresh air.

Honestly, I m ashamed of the craven attitudes of our govmint; we fought very hard for women's rights in the UK and they seem to be being swept away in a tide of PC kowtowing to "political correctness". What the hell was Claire Short (a womam whose conmitment I have admired, though ofren disagreed with) thinking of? Lobbying for Hiz But Tahrir? (SP?)

What's even sadder is that I have to post anonymously - I, and most people I discuss things with, think the same way on these issues. Sadly. the establishment and even the other local politicians are determined to be dhimmis.

Blessed be.

Good work, just make sure that you aren't No.1 with a bullet on the 'hit' parade, too many people need your voice. BW48

Well deserved recognition is a beautiful thing!
I still think you need to relocate to the States. Hope you put that bonus from work in your Emergency Escape fund.

Hi Sam!
Heartfelt Congratulations, from South San Francisco!
(one small comment, the paper's name is spelled PittsburgH) This is the only Pittsburg, that ends with an "h". (I was born/hatched, there.)

Thanks!

Sandmonkey & Big Pharoah, I congratulate you on a job well done.

Not just in Egypt, but you have shown the entire shitpot arab reigon that you sirs, are bad-ass motherfuckers with big brass balls that are not afraid to speak the truth and are not afflicted with Groupthink as is the entire fucking reigon, happily mooing in their big herd, milling about aimlessly, shitting all over each other.

You both deserve a nice fresh baker's dozen of hot bitches covered in whipped cream.

*clank clank clank*

Do you retarded motherfuckers that are running around like baboons destroying shit because of a cartoon hear that sound?

That's the sound of SM & BP's balls clanking together, ready to swing your way like a wrecking ball, destroying your sanctimonius, holier than thou, ignorant & self-destructive attitudes, knocking you the fuck off your pedastal, and wiping away the crust of faux pas piousness that you wear only to reveal a bunch of big babies only too content to sit in a diaper full of shit.

"It's so nice & warm! If I don't move around too much this actually feels good!"

-This numbingly retarded logic makes me want to stab myself in the testicles with an icepick.



SM, if you're in Cairo, drop me a line bro.

Kind Regards,
neon420
