The Arabic version of the Dating game !!

I remember I knew there was once upon time a TV show in the American ABC network in the 1960s with name of the "Dating game" when I was watching the thriller "confessions of a dangerous mind" , a biography about the man behind the show Chuck Barris in which he claimed that he was working for the C.I.A as a hitman , a very interesting movie directed by George Loony you must see.

The idea of the show then was considered silly that was widely characterized in America

The game was a bachelorette would ask questions written in advance on cards to each of the three bachelors. The same question could be asked to multiple bachelors. This continued until time ran out. The bachelorette would make her choice based solely on the answers to her questions.Typically, a bachelorette would question three bachelors, who were hidden from her view; at the end of the questioning period, she would choose one to go out with on a date paid for by the show. Occasionally, the roles would be reversed with a man questioning three ladies.

Back then even the American society didn't accept the idea that easily , of course now it is nothing compared to the reality TV

Why do I bother you with this showbiz historical info my dear Egyptian chronicles ??

Well simply because as soon as I read this repot in "Elaph.com" in Arabic about this Show in the LBC channel ,I remember the Dating game , in fact it is a kind of mix between the "Dating and wedding game" if there is a show called "the wedding game" as it is not about dating but marriage according to the rules of the "Dating game" !!

It is called "Albi Dalili" ,in English " My heart is my guide" which is the name of the famous song by legendry Leila Muard and directed by the famous Lebanese variety director of "Studio El-Fan" Simon Asmar

Really I am shocked to the level we reached in our Arab society as if we need this kind "I am sorry to use the word" of crap , already I don't know why LBC is specialiezed in this useless time wasting TV shows ,copy cat from the west to create a new class of ignorant generations, I am sorry if my words seem too big but this is the reality ,I won't speak about the LBC and its role in Lebanon whether politicaly or Socially because this channel proved in the last lebanon july war that it is not a real lebanese channel !!

No respect at all to what really marriage and companision mean , No respect at all to our Eastern and Arabic traditions

It is not about the Eastern Islamic or Christian traditions , because also the Christians in the Arab world will and are refusing this sort of TV shows !!

It is so disgusting , really disgusting

Sorry, Golda - Israel Opinion, Ynetnews

 Believe or not despite my hate to this old lady but really I share my respect with the writer of this article to this old lady , really she was much respectable then Olmert

I think the difference between her and Olmert is that she was from the generation who really was working for Israel,the grand Israel from the Nile and Eurphates

The generation that would do anything to have this dream come true

where as Olmert is from the generation of politicans and leaders whose all conern is authority

Don't be surprised but there are somethings we must respect and learn from our enemies

And I would like to say I wish that someone like Golda Mier in Egypt with her devotion and respect to the country and the people whom she felt she let down

Again I will say it Egypt need an Egyptian Golda Mier no more Olmert types of leader who will correct their mistake with more mistakes

The Time 100 people 2007

Who should in the list of the Time magazine most influential 100 people in the year 2007 ??

Beside the international personalities whom I don't need to speak about ,I will about those I voted for this year as I think they are worth it to be mentioned in this year's edition , I mean which is more influential really Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah or Daniel Craig ??? Sanjaya or King Abd Allah Abd Aziz of Saudi Arabia ??

Of course there are strange names like Sanjaya,Daniel Craig ,Paris Hilton,Kate Moss and Frank Miller with others whom I think only made the headlines in the tabloids and entertainment news and didn't have influence except may be on the box office and American Idol not to mention the sales of the tabloids !!??

  • From Israel I found Tzipi Livini in the 93 rank by 1330 votes ,to tell you the truth I don't think she is that influential
  • From Saudi Arabia King Abd Allah Ibn Abd Aziz Al Saud is in the 106 rank after Rosie O'Donnel and Salama Hayek , I don't know how the Saudi King who is now called the modern Abd El-Nasser comes after Rosie and the ugly Bettie producer and hottie , King Abd Allah has 1135 votes , I voted for him because I believe in the last couple of months the Saudis did a great job both in Lebanon and in Palestine with all respect to other opposite view, you can vote here
  • From Egypt there is Amr Khaled , the first Egyptian name who made it to the list in the rank of 127 for 937 votes ,I voted for him too and I do need to speak about how influence he is , you can vote here
  • From Lebanon Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah ,also I don't need to speak about his influcnce , you can vote here , strangly he is in 192 rank , I mean Sanjaya is in the top ten and this man who made the real headlines and history is in the 192 rank !!??

There are other Arabs and Muslims in the list whom I either don't know them or don't like them

Of couse there is the second Egypt the right of hand of Bin Laden ,the son of Maadi Subrub Ayman El-Zawahary but I won't vote for him

Dirty games in the assembly ??

As if we are not having enough drama in the Egyptian Parliament from elections cheating to MPs who escaped their military service to MPs who are MPs in the morning and drug dealers at nights to quarrels to insults to a prime minister who is enjoying his time by eating “Lab” inside the honorable council in order to have this stupid NPD Scandal.
Strangely if you go through every example from the shameful examples I mentioned above you will find that those MPs are from the NDP, so it is not a new thing to have another new scandal to the oldest parliament in the Middle East but enough is enough
The Scandal is a C.D and if there is a C.D mentioned in the game then it will be related to Sex, no need to think .
Two MPs of the NDP distributed a C.D of another MP in the assembly and on the newspapers, this C.D contained footage recorded for  that MP in a drunken status attending some sort of a party, kissing some ugly and vulgar belly dancers and giving them tips , of course it is not that dirty C.D like the famous Sex  of  Dina ,the famous belly dancer and business man Abu El-Fatouh but it is still considered unacceptable especially it is for a MP !!
The interesting thing is that the other MP is also a NDP member!!
It is expected to have such dirty behavior of blackmailing against other members from the independent and the opposition party but with  other another member of the gang ,well we have to stop and read again the name of that naughty member.
That naughty member who is kissing fat ass bully dancers and in front of him a “Stella” beer bottle is MP “Haider Baghdadi”. “Baghdadi” is a very interesting personality he used to be from the Nasserite party in Egypt and suddenly he left to join the NDP in a very surprising move attacking his former opposition party widely , despite his strange move “Baghdadi” is considered from the loud voice active MPs , always questioning ministers and exposing scandals.
In the last few months “Baghdadi” exposed some financial scandals for the same two NDP members who are distributing the CD not to mention “Baghdadi” was already the MP who exposed the famous “Hidlena “health scandal, of course with orders from the NDP famous policies committee to give an impression for the regular Egyptian Joe that the party fights corruption and it is cleaning itself from the dirt!!
Now it seems that other NDP members want to have revenge from the big mouth man by exposing him , oh man
Despite some may defend “Baghdadi” as active corruption fighter I don’t have a sympathy for him because I believe if he were a really active corruption fighter he wouldn’t join the big gang party aka NDP, he is a fame seeker, really a big one
He is a kind of the dirty politician with thousand faces and colors changing them according to his own interest just like any other NDP member who only are there because they care only for themselves.
What happens to “Baghdadi” in my opinion is the best example of the corruption in the NDP; they will use you as long as they want and they will dump also when they want
Of course this happens every where and even in worst ways but consider me an idealistic who is looking forwards or in better words backwards to the days when the assembly was a very respectable parliament with respectable MPs who were respecting their position and their responsibility in the assembly
Already the latest update in our case is that “Baghdadi” is no longer his corruption fighter and thus the NDP decided not to send him to the ethics committee and he defends himself in front of the public saying that those fat ass bully dancers are girls from his election committee who like to wear tight clothes just like any other girl in his area !!!!
Seriously do those people think we are dumb to this level??? It seems to me that they are the dumbest here
UPDATES: It seems that it will turn in to a big blackmail and revenge operation between “Baghdadi” and enemies as after one week he got a C.D with a footage that shows homosexual relation between another NDP MP and another man!! Of course with this solid proof that at least “Baghdadi” is a straight man in front of some fagots, he opened his fire and decided to retire from his apology;’ is not he just a respectable man ??
Another comedy I found in “Sawt El-Oma”  The footage was not filmed in a wedding but it was filmed in a night club. The night club owner assured that her night club is a respectable one and that her customers are from ministers and MPs " well I want to tell you something I won’t argue in the respect issue,but if her customers are from ministers and MPs than they are cheap misers with no taste as it looks to me from the pictures as a 3rd degree cheap nightclub !!

Gamal Mubarak got married

Gamal Mubarak and Khadija El-Gamal aka "Moni" got married /wrote the marriage contract yesterday according to the Islamic rules by the Sheikh of Al-Azhar "Mohamed Sayed Tantawy" in a small family reception in the Air forces celebrations hall in Misr El-Gadida then President Mubarak hold a big reception in the presidential palace of "El-Orba" where he received those who went to congratulate him from the ministers

According to the Islamic rules the marriage contract can be written then the big celebration and the wedding can be held after months or even years

As I said before the huge wedding party will be held in Sharm El-Sheikh on the 4th of May the birthday of President Mubarak

The party will be big one despite the wish of the groom family to a have a small wedding attended by the two families' members only, but on the wish of the father's of the bride famous constructor and businessman Mohamed El-Gamal who wants to have unforgettable night for his only daughter, there will be a huge wedding, a little piece of information related to the customs and traditions of marriage in Egypt is that the wedding party is paid by the groom and his family

Anyhow it won't be a problem

The announced names of the singers who are going to sing in the wedding to bring joy for the guests and the newly married couples are

  1. Amr Diab , Alaa Mubarak's friend and the bride favorite's singer "I wonder if he will sing a special written song for the merry couple like the song he sang for the daughter of Prince Walid Bin Talal's marriage".
  2. Hani Shaker, the favorite singer of the first lady Suzan Mubarak, aka the prince of Arabic singer, some people find him romantic, I find him dull with same kind of songs and lyrics that he doesn't change for decades, I mean he has this dull song whose title is "The birthday of my pain!!"
  3. Amal Maher, the favorite Singer of President Mubarak , a very tall young lady younger than me ,who is good at nothing except in screaming and opening her mouth , I wonder what she will sing !!
  4. There are no reports regarding the dancer in the wedding, I mean the bally dancer, I wonder if she will be an Egyptian like Dina or a Russian!!

I don't know why I have this feeling it will be so dull and lame , I mean Amr Diab rocks in the wedding but the other two are so dull , what a matching taste of the president and his wife !!??


Another chapter in the Judges battle against the NDP

In Egypt like any Country in the world, when the person reaches to his 60 or 65 years old some times retires and gets pension but in some jobs now in Egypt some persons may work till death comes in he end thanks to government orders.

For instance in the official newspapers and publishing houses the chief in editors and CEO are appointed by the government always stay to beyond the 60 and 65 for those who are doing what the regime wants, of course those who do not what the regime wants are kicked from the press just like my grand father as soon as they reach their 60!!

But there was certain professions the regime couldn’t break the retirement age rule in, the Judges

According to the judicial working law “Sorry if I am mistaken in the correct name”

The retirement age where the Judge leaves the service in the age of 68

A great another merit in the Egyptian Judicial system, a merit the NDP doesn’t want anymore now, for this critical time, from here to the end of the year where the expected inheritance of the rule of Egypt is expected to be done.

The NDP wanted to change to the retirement age to 70 years old from 68 years old!!

Of course the president Mubarak praised it so did the minister of Justice who has great enmity to the honorable Judges club aka “The nation house” ,already it turned out the minister of Justice wrote a report for president Mubarak claiming that the majority of Judges wants  it.

And thus the law found its way to the parliament, the parliament which like the French liberation once described as the fastest parliament to approve any law the government wants

The Judges club stood with all their force presenting the majority of the judges against the law but what they can do against the master of his decision ; the assembly of yea but not nay

What they can do and already the majority which is from the NDP already is the same authority that cancelled the judicial supervision of the elections in the infamous amendment 88 of the constitution!!

But the honorable judges who are the last saving force in Egypt before the ugly solution of the army are still in the fight with the NDP and they are still rejecting the law which they considered as a new massacre for the judges just like the infamous Massacre in the Nasserite era in 1969.

 Thousands of Telegram and faxes were sent to the Presidency palace by the judges to inform President with their objection and I am sure and I am staying in home now that the president didn’t receive any and won’t know of their existence at all

The judges anyhow wanted to raise their objection this time more publicly as they decided to have a march on next Sunday insh Allah, the 29th of April 27, 2007 to the Abdin Presidency Palace, of course this move is not for the president more to embarrass the regime and NDP and to win the public support with the world attention, we all know that the President rarely comes to Abdin palace, the one who is there is the famous NDPian Zachariah Azzamy , President Mubarak most of the time in Sharm El-Sheikh or in the Orba palace in Misr Gadida quarter, well it will one hell of march to go to Misr El-Gadida on foot !!

But the interior ministry refused to gave them the permission and thus they decided to have meeting afternoon in their club

I guess now there is a question in your mind

Why are the judges so angry from such law that will extend their retirement age in their powerful profession with all its privileges??

Well because they are patriot and smart enough to know that it is not done for their eyes, it is done for the NDP and regime favorite judges, you see the board of the judicial bodies is the only benefiter of this change, already it is the only judicial board that accepted and approved the change without decision or unanimity!!

You will understand the riddle more when you know that 5 from the members of The SJC which follows the government and the ministry of Justice and considered as tool in the hand of the NDP reached the retirement age already and only 2 are remaining in it but they also will reach the retirement age soon. According to the judicial rules those 5 can’t took a decision and already the decision in SJC is taken by majority and thus the council which is appointed by the ministry is not legal anymore and those judges there are from the minority that work with the regime .

Another question what is the importance of this SJC to the regime??

Well my dear friends this is the board that accepts the candidates for the presidency!! I don’t need to tell you that’s why the inheritance operation is expected to happen very soon in next September at most in the next NDP convention

The Confront between the NDP and the Judges returned again in the past two weeks and expected to continue, a break bone confront, the first round was for the NDP but no one knows who will have the last laugh.

Miss Egypt 2007

Meet Miss Egypt 2007

Miss Ehasn Hatem

As far as I read this young lady is half Egyptian half American and barely can speak Arabic !!

she is really pretty but I am afraid this is not the Egyptian Beauty ,she is  more like a western than an Egyptian

The Egyptian Beauty is like Mona Zaki kind of Beauty

Anyhow it is silly contest and most people don't respect it

My grand mother always asks in wonder "What kind of a respectable house that will permit its daughter to join such contest and show her body??"

This wonder that is more of rejection is shared by most of Egyptians whether Muslims or Christians

Of course I can't describe you my Grand mother amazement when She knew that two girls we knew directly and indirectly were in the Miss Egypt 2005 ,one with me , a very sweet girl who left the Cairo university for the AUC and Mariam ,the Queen of 2005 herself indirectly as one of her best friends is from our relatives, So they are from the same class but it seems that they have different kind of thinking !!

Strangely the Organizers of the event every year swear that it is not about the look ,it is about the presentation ,personality and most important culture , well I won't speak about Presentation or Personality despite their importance but I will speak about culture and knowledge as Miss Egypt will represent Egypt and its people abroad , it seems every year ,the girls in the contest are more ignorant than the previous year

I mean a question from this year contest

"What is the greatest achievement for women in Egypt ??"

The answer

"The new divorce law which gives the women the right to divorce them even if the men don't approve !!"

well there is a french proverb that stays

"Be beautiful but shut up !!"

N.B I found it very silly that the Miss Egypt contest name is Pantene Miss Egypt !! Yup I know Pantene is the official sponsor but ......
