Say No to Election Dinner Conversations

Kefaya! I know, it’s impossible to refuse a conversation about the election even if it spoils your aunt’s crispy duck & tehina gratin or whatever she cooked up to appear intercultural this weekend. So let's pretend we're up to date. Here is what has been said on the political stage lately:

BROTHERHOOD: NO BOYCOTT The Muslim Brotherhood (sisters included, it’s just a sexist name on a prejudiced organization) has decided against boycotting the election. As you know, they’re political outlaws, not entitled to form a political party. So why not call for a boycott? Speculations about a secret deal with the governing party are bound to go wild. Perhaps that is why they are actually encouraging people to vote.

MUBARAK: NO TV-DEBATE The current and soon elected president refuses to meet opponents in televised debates. Wonder why he feels he doesn’t need to a few months since national TV aired a marathon seven hour interview with him only. Officially, that was before the campaign took off.

PRIME CANDIDATE NOOR is instead hoping for an Ukraine-styled orange revolution. As they say in Texas: All Hat, No Cattle.
