Breakfast Scramble (Thursday)

DavidL's Breakfast Scramble
Facade of democracy falls, from INN [1]:

Egyptian uprising idol Mohammed ElBaradei has ordered Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak to leave the country by Friday – or he will be a “dead man walking” and not just a lame-duck president.

Funny didn’t somebody with the same name, Mohammed ElBaradei, win a Noble Peace Prize.  Must have been a mistake.   Democratic elections are achieved not by bullets but rather by ballots, a point to which ElBaradei is either ignorant, or indifferent.

Chicago thug backs Cairo thug,  one thug supports another, Barack Obama backs ElBaradei, from  Hill [2]:

Although [White House press secretary Robert] Gibbs continued to be vague about what that should look like, he said Obama was clear in telling Mubarak that “the time for change had come.”

Meteorologist – 1:  Algore – 0, from Cubachi [3].    Algore is put up against a meterologist.  Algore loses.
