Act 12:21 And up...@Anonymous (Katharine Heartburn)<br />Act 12:21 And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them. <br />Act 12:22 And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man. <br />Act 12:23 And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.

The uprising appears to have now <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-505263_162-57555783/egypt-protests-calmer-after-big-show-against-morsi/" rel="nofollow">fizzled</a>.<br /><br />As for coverage of the anti-Morsi demonstrations, I saw coverage on the web and on some cable channels. But on television, now the source of the news for so many Americans, I did not notice much coverage on any of the the Big Three.<br /><br />It does seem to me that most Americans really don't care what's happening over in the Middle East. That was the case before 9/11; then we had a period of time during which a lot of Americans followed what was going on in the Middle East.<br /><br />It is a fact that most Americans just don't follow world news most of the time. **sigh**Always On Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192688822955022541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-21873870810512979512012-11-30T12:42:38.199-06:002012-11-30T12:42:38.199-06:00Hardly any reporting on the uprising against Morsi...Hardly any reporting on the uprising against Morsi.<br /><br />------<br /><br />What planet are you on?Ducky's herehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14608115001116619877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-31409900231792957512012-11-30T12:42:03.861-06:002012-11-30T12:42:03.861-06:00No, Silverfiddle, the point is that the act is cul...No, Silverfiddle, the point is that the act is cultural rather than religious.<br /><br />That is hardly an irrelevant observation in any context that wants an non bigoted discussion. <br /><br /><br /><br />Ducky's herehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14608115001116619877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-54252731818438188312012-11-30T10:11:27.717-06:002012-11-30T10:11:27.717-06:00Morsi says Obama has been very helpful, no kidding...Morsi says Obama has been very helpful, no kidding.
