Al Jazeera: Egyptians Polarized Over President Morsi's Decree

"The decree to extend Mohamed Morsi's presidential powers has polarised opinion and caused violence to erupt in various parts of Egypt amid protests. 

Al Jazeera's Sherine Tadros reports from the capital, Cario." 

From Al Jazeera 

"Al Jazeera Arabic (Arabic: الجزيرة Al-Jazīrah [æl (d)ʒæˈziːrɐ], lit. 'The Peninsula') is a Qatari state-owned Arabic-language news television network. It is based in Doha and operated by the Al Jazeera Media Network, which also operates Al Jazeera English. It is the largest news network in the Middle East and North Africa region.[3][4] It was founded in 1996 by the then Emir of Qatar Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani. Al Jazeera gained popularity in the Arab World as an alternative to the previous landscape of largely local state owned broadcasters,[5] with its early coverage being openly critical of autocratic leaders in the region, as well as hosting a wide range of viewpoints,[6] gaining credibility through its extensive frontline coverage of the Second Intifada and the Iraq War.[7] Independent sources have described Al Jazeera Arabic's news coverage as more partisan than that of Al Jazeera English[8][5][6], with the station openly supporting the 2011 Arab Spring,[5] as well as giving favourable coverage of the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamist groups." 


Steve Clemons posed the question of the day in a column in the Huffington Post: Is Mohamad Morsi an Abraham Lincoln or a Hosni Mobarak? A small d democrat or a dictator?

ABC News: 20/20- Pierre Salinger: Grace Kelly Interview (1982)

“Grace Kelly – Her complete last interview: 22 June 1982.” 


Princess Baby Face of Monaco, was my first reaction to this video. Because that is the first that I saw and you add that incredible smile that Grace always had and that just adds to that.

She doesn’t look like she aged much since her Hollywood star years of the 1950s. And if there’s one woman who you would think looks like a European princess, it just might be Grace Kelly.

The thing being that Europe is such a diverse place ethnically and Grace looks more like an Anglo princess (being of Irish descent) than a Mediterranean princess.

Sophia Loren would be the Mediterranean princes. (At least in my opinion) But Grace always did have the look and class of royalty from her time growing up Philadelphia, even though you would never guess Philadelphia by the way she talked, all the way up to being Princess of Monaco.
