Here's "The Mob Rules"
Ronnie James Dio: Spectrum Live 1984
No one...NO ONE...was as talented, awesome and respected as the Great Ronnie James Dio. His voice stands alone as the best in the business. Deep, resonant and sincere, Ronnie's voice has the ability to lift your spirit. In fact, his voice is universally accepted as the MOST powerful in all of heavy metal. His music, his incomparable music, is as inspiring and just as great today as it was back when he composed it. He was talented in every way. No one loved their fans more than Ronnie and he showed it and proved it time and again. He was the consummate showman.
He will forever be missed more than he could ever imagine or more than we could even imagine, for when we listen to his music we are again transported into his world - a world of magic and mystery - and we want to stay there and relive it over and over again.
R.I.P Ronnie James Dio - you will LIVE FOREVER!

Here's "MYSTERY"
The Philadelphia Spectrum
All Hail The Spectrum! Currently undergoing a not-so-successful demolition because that bad ass building is as tough as the Broad Street Bullies, the Philadelphia Spectrum will forever live on for fans of sport and music.
We went to so many events at the Spectrum we could never count them. Season ticket holders for both the Flyers and the Phantoms hockey teams saw us there sometimes 5 times a month.
We were too young to attend the games where the Flyers won the Stanley Cup and the never-to-forget games where the Flyers beat the hell out of the then indomitable Red Army. In fact, at that game, the Flyers slammed the Russians so hard, the entire Red Army walked off the ice saying "they don't want to even play hockey, they just want to fight." This was years before the Miracle on Ice game at the Olympics and in the hey day of the Broad Street Bullies.
Kate Smith made the song "God Bless America" cool again there and there was and still is a movement to make that song our National Anthem. God Bless Kate Smith.
The Philadelphia Wings won most of their Championship Tournaments there.
We did however, see the Phantoms win the Calder Cup there, TWICE!, and that was AMAZING! Have you ever hugged and partied with 23,000 strangers that became instant friends?
We also saw so many AWESOME concerts there including the great Iron Maiden concert with the giant sailing ship constructed just for "The Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner" and we swear that thing was 100 feet long if it was one.
Not to mention the great censorship concert by Rage Against the Machine in which the band stripped down naked, putting duck tape over their mouths and just stood there for half an hour. Classic!
But there were so many more concerts: The Who, Cream (playing their last show ever), The Doors (It was recorded and released as Doors Live in Philadelphia 1970), Yes played 32 times there!, Aerosmith 23 times!, Bruce Springsteen practically made it his home and the night after John Lennon was killed he played a marathon 3 1/2 hour concert dedicating it to John and ending the show with a one time performance of "Twist and Shout", Genesis with Phil Collins played there frequently in the 1980's, Kiss, Billy Joel (he played there so often he had a banner hung from the rafters), AC/DC, Adam Ant, Skid Row, Alice in Chains with Van Halen, Anthrax, The Beach Boys, The Beastie Boys, Chuck Berry, Black Sabbath, Tina Turner, Boston, Quiet Riot, David Bowie, Johnny Cash (played twice in the '70s), Ray Charles (6 times!), Snoop Dog with Eminem, The Scorpions with Bon Jovi, Pink Floyd, THE GRATEFUL DEAD, and of course, the great Ronnie James Dio. EVERYONE PLAYED THERE!
Here is the full list and dates of the ALL the Spectrum concerts
We were fortunate enough to see Dio there in '87. The concert with the giant fighting robots. You just don't get that kind of show anymore.
In tribute to The Spectrum and the Great Ronnie James Dio we will be posting his 1984 Spectrum concert footage - ALL DAY.
God Bless America and Long Live The Spectrum!

Is The Pharaoh in Trouble? - UPDATED - Yes, He is in Deep S***
Headlining The Daily Grail Front Page is the story of how The Big Z might be facing his last days in office!? This is good and bad. We know Dr. Zahi Hawass is the worst technical archaeologist on record and is arrogant and racist. We also know that he is totally unique and has such zeal and passion it has to be admired. He is also a tough son of a bitch and at 70+ years old can still trek 8 miles across the desert while bitching at others to shut the hell up and keep moving.
If he leaves the world will never be the same! Who will we write about every day with such simultaneous revulsion and affection?
"An acquaintance of his who visited him today at his office while protesters outside bayed for his downfall described the usually supremely confident archaeologist as "shattered" by recent events, and said most of his books and personal papers have already been moved out of the office."
OH NO!
Read the article "The Fall of The Pharaoh" HERE at The Daily Grail
UPDATE:
It's worse than we thought! The Mubarak corruption has left Egyptian archaeologists out of work for so long they are now storming the gates of the Ministry of Antiquities. In fact, all labor unions are on strike.
From Sky News at News.sky.com:
"Inside we were trying to interview celebrity Egyptologist turned government minister Dr Zahi Hawass. Our interview was interrupted by his secretary.
"The crowd is trying to break down the gates and climb in," she told him anxiously.
Dr Hawass phoned the army to ask for protection and then the Interior Ministry. He told the army commander the mob had been organised by the Muslim Brotherhood.
"It's chaos," he told us. "The revolution will destroy Egypt. It's happening everywhere. How can I suddenly give all these people jobs."
As we left the crowd forced the gates and stormed the forecourt shouting: "Give us work." "
Full article Here
“Get out,” chanted a crowd of 150 archaeology graduates outside Hawass’ office on Monday. The protest was highly personal: demonstrators called Hawass a “showman” who seeks publicity and has little regard for the thousands of archaeology students who are unable to find work in their field.
This certainly spells doom for Zahi. If he makes it out of this one, he will forever be cemented into the annals of history as the True Pharaoh of Egypt. Allahu Akbar!

MORE UPDATES:
"The rally was raucous but peaceful. Several soldiers blocked protesters from entering the Supreme Council of Antiquities building in the Zamalek district on an island in the Nile that was largely spared the chaos that gripped Cairo. An armored personnel carrier parked in the street, a helmeted soldier poking out of a hatch.
The minister did not appear, and a roar of disapproval swept the crowd when someone said he had slipped out the back door. Then there was a rumor, unconfirmed but no less damaging to his image, that his car had clipped a pedestrian. The protesters dispersed at dusk, and promised to return.
The graduates said the antiquities ministry had offered them three-month contracts at 450 Egyptian pounds ($75) a month, hardly enough to survive. They noted that Egypt's tourism industry is a major foreign currency earner, and yet it was unclear how exactly the government was spending the income.
A foreign tourist spends up to 160 Egyptian pounds ($27) to visit the pyramids of Giza and descend into a tomb there, said 25-year-old Said Hamid. Multiply that, he said, by the thousands who used to visit daily until upheaval drove away foreign visitors and plunged the lucrative industry into crisis.
"Where is the money?" said Hamid, a 2007 graduate who works in a travel agency but specialized in restoration of artifacts as a student."
The people are calling for his resignation. This Hamid, makes a spectacular point. Where is the money, Dr. Hawass? In the Swiss vault next to Mubarak's? WOW!
Lindsey Vonn Comes to Her Senses
Just days after we ripped Lindsey Vonn for competing with a concussion, she has pulled out of the rest of the World's Championships in Germany. YAY!
The fact that the US Ski team allowed her to compete is a travesty. They/she/everyone is lucky she didn't get hurt again and face life threatening brain trauma.
Kudos to Linds for finally seeing the light. It's just not worth it, honey.
Here is a copy of the article out today:
No longer willing to risk further injury as she copes with the aftereffects of a mild concussion, the Olympic downhill champion has decided to withdraw from her remaining events at the world championships.
"It's been a really difficult few weeks and at every stage, I've had 100 percent confidence in the medical advice I've been provided and believe we've made the right decisions," Vonn said. "I'm a competitor and I love to race – that's what makes this a really tough choice, but I do feel it's the right one."
Vonn fell on her head during training in Austria the week before the worlds and was clearly not her normal self during her opening events, reporting that she felt like she was "skiing in a fog," and was unable to maintain her concentration for an entire run.
"My plan now will be to take some time off and try to get 100 percent healthy again," Vonn said. "My hope is that I will be healthy and fresh when the World Cup tour resumes at the end of the month in Are, Sweden."
That Vonn was cleared to ski when still reporting such symptoms drew a wave of criticism. If a second impact occurs before someone completely gets over an initial concussion it can have life-altering effects.
Vonn had a head scan the day after her crash but was never banned from skiing by the U.S. team. She passed a series of concussion protocol exams multiple times each day during the championships.
Vonn's injury comes amid heightened awareness of head injuries, including a concussion that has sidelined hockey's biggest star, Sidney Crosby, indefinitely.
Vonn finished seventh in super-G, pulled out after the downhill portion of the super-combined and took silver in the downhill Sunday.
Let's not forget NHL star Eric Lindros who is fucked up to this day from playing with too many concussions. It ruined his life and his career.

Iran: It's Happening
Mahmoud "I'm really a nice guy. Really.
I'll just kill you if you oppose me" Ahmadinejad
I'll just kill you if you oppose me" Ahmadinejad
Hundreds of thousands of government protesters hit the streets of Tehran today with a seemingly equal number of military driving them back.
For this revolution to work in Iran as it did in Egypt it needs to involve EVERYONE of EVERY AGE and DEMOGRAPHIC. It cannot just be another student uprising. The people need to drive back the military. Egypt did not allow its military to fire on the people and the Iranian people do not have this. They will literally need to fight tooth and nail against guns, bombs, teargas and tanks.
There will be blood.
Let us hope and pray that the people do not give up. Many will die as they have in the past but they need to forcefully take back what is theirs. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his political party of bullies, the Alliance of Builders of Islamic Iran, need to be taken down.
Tragedy For the Dalai Lama
The Dalai Lama's 45 year old nephew, Jigme K. Norbu, was killed yesterday during a "Walk for Tibet" in Florida. He was hit by a SUV. The driver, 31, has not been charged and had his two young children in the truck with him. Sad.
In 1959 the Dalai Lama escaped Chinese prosecution and fled Tibet with his brother, Taktser Rinpoche, Jigme's father. They were running for their very lives as at that time, China would have killed them in an instant without hesitation. Takster was in 1959 a high Abbott at a monastery in Tibet.
Since then, The Dalai Lama has acheived the impossible. He has become a world reknown statesman and a voice for peace, freedom and democracy in every land on Earth except his own. What China does to Tibetans, as Hamlet's father would say "would harrow your very soul."
His brother, Rinpoche, who died in September 2008 at 86, was a professor of Tibetan studies at Indiana University in Bloomington while serving as the Dalai Lama's U.S. representative.
We'd say they both achieved so much while being barred from their own homeland. Jigme died trying to save his father's land and what should have been his birthright as well.
It's never too late to put pressure on China to release Tibet. Indeed the day this happens will be one the greatest joys you can imagine. The Tibetan people have tried to rise up, like Egypt. They aren't just sitting there taking it, but they are overwhelmingly outnumbered by the Chinese military who use horrific tactics to beat them down. We have to say this, although you might want to cover your eyes, just so you know how bad it is...the Chinese use electric cattle prods to rape the Tibetan nuns. This has been documented by Amnesty International. They also keep the Tibetan monks in inches of water and use the prongs to electrocute them as daily torture.
But you know what? There are STILL Tibetan monks and nuns practicing their religion in Tibet. They haven't given up even though they know if caught what will happen.
To this day there is still no international rush to help from ANYONE, including the US or England. It's so damn sad. You see, there's no oil in Tibet. So why should any civilized country care?

Ronaldo Retires
Brazilian Soccer Superstar Legend Ronaldo retired today ending his 18 year career.
Ronaldo still holds the record for most World Cup goals ever scored with 15 and won World Cup twice in 1994 (America) and 2002 (Japan). He was only 20 when he won FIFA World Player of the Year in 1996, the youngest to this day to do so.
He won the European Cup Winners' Cup with Barca in 1997 and the 1998 UEFA Cup with Inter, scoring in the final of both competitions.
He helped Brazil win the Bronze Medal at the Atlanta 1996 Olympics.
"Il Fenomeno", The Phenomenon, he was dubbed as he went on to win two Spanish first division titles with Real in 2003 and 2007.
He has OVER 400 career goals. He was also Player of the Year in 2007.
In his own words: "Four years ago at Milan I discovered I was suffering from a complaint called hypothyroidism, which slows down your metabolism, and to control it I would have to take some hormones that are not permitted in football because of anti-doping rules," he said.
"The pain made me anticipate the end of my career. My career was beautiful, was wonderful. I've had many defeats but infinite victories."
"It's very hard to leave something that made me so happy," said Ronaldo, with sons Alex and Ronald by his side. "Mentally, I wanted to continue, but I have to acknowledge that I lost (the fight) to my body."
We think he is the second most famous Brazilian soccer player, the first being the incomparable Pele. And he also only has one name. Must be a Brazilian thing.

Chilean Miners Had Weed!
New interviews with the rescued Chilean miners reveal that family members smuggled down marijuana joints in with correspondence and letters to keep the men's spirits "high."
We find this hilarious. However, not all miners were included so there was jealousy as 5 or 6 guys would sneak off to smoke a joint and leave the others fuming over not being included.
It would be impossible to smoke one joint with all 33 guys so we can understand the need to sneak off and smoke with just a few guys. And we can also see how pissed off we would be if weren't included in that too. It must have been like high school all over again. They were in hell.
Also revealed is how the trapped men asked for a blow up doll to "relieve tension". The request was denied by the above ground doctor who thought the men might fight each other over it and didn't want to send down 33 of them. This is even more hilarious. The men did however receive pin up posters,hand lotion and tissues.
On a serious note, the men, who were without contact for the first two weeks of their imprisonment, were running out of food and had their thoughts turn to cannibalism. They were about to pick lots over who would be eaten first when the rescuers finally got the communication lines in place and then a few days later were able to send down food.
And most revealing was how the live feed we all watched globally, wasn't live at all. Quote: "a billion viewers around the world were 'tricked' when the live feed was secretly interrupted and old footage used instead, first when an avalanche inside the mine cut a video cable and then again when a local rescue official argued with the Chilean marines in charge of the operation."
Wow. Look for the books about this event to be hitting the shelves shortly.

Nibiru Discovered?
Those of you into ancient Sumerian cosmology will recognize the name of the tenth planet in our Solar System which has been so far undiscovered.
Has Nibiru (NIGH-BER-OOH) been discovered? A "new" planet called Tyche has been found and is said to be included in our solar system. It is roughly four times larger than Jupiter, currently the largest planet in the solar system. It's orbit is so far reaching that it is located much farther from The Sun than any other planet in our system. Is this Nibiru?
Nibiru is home to the race of beings called Annunaki, the ones "Who from heaven came to Earth" and the beings that created The Adam (Earthling) from cross breeding themselves with primitive Neanderthal man.
It's all a matter of faith whether or not you can believe that or not. The facts remain though that the Sumerian stories of creation mirror the Bible and yet are thousands of years older and that the Sumerian drawings of our Solar System are accurate to the tiniest detail. Not bad for a people that lived 6,000 years ago.
The Sumerian texts say that Nibiru's orbit was 3,500 years long, which accounted for the apparent immortality of the gods. Every birthday you celebrate is actually not so much a year but an orbit around the sun. Imagine beings that lived as if one year equaled 3,500 of ours! It's almost incomprehensible to us and they would indeed appear to be immortal. Meaning that if the average Annunaki lived to be 80 years old on Nibiru, that would be 280,000 Earth years! It's mind boggling - but so is the whole space time continuum thing...It's also very possible.

The World's Cutest Possum
Meet Heidi the world's cutest and only cross-eyed possum. She is sooooo cute!
She will be making her world television debut Feb.27 on the Jimmy Kimmel Show.
"Heidi, Germany's beloved cross-eyed opossum, is taking a page from Paul the Octopus' playbook. The marsupial will attempt to pick this year's Oscar winners. Leipzig Zoo Director Joerg Junghold told Germany's RTL television on Friday that Heidi will be appearing on the "Jimmy Kimmel Show" alongside the Oscars on Feb. 27. He says Heidi will be filmed in Germany over the next few days for the U.S. show. Junghold says Heidi's appearance fee will be donated to an animal protection charity."
Awesome!

Best In Show
Get ready for the Westminster Dog Show tonight by renting the iconic Christopher Guest movie "Best in Show".
It's hard to believe this movie is over ten years old already. It's a mockumentary spoof on a major national dog show, loosely veiled as Westminster, and it's hilarious.
It has an all star "Christopher Guest" cast: Parker Posey, Ed Begley, Jr, Eugene Levy (Co-writer), Jane Lynch (Who STEALS the movie in all her scenes), Catherine O'Hara, Michael Hitchcock, Jennifer Coolidge, Fred Willard, Michael McKean and John Michael Higgins.
It's a must see.

The busy bee scene with the incomparable Parker Posey
It's hard to believe this movie is over ten years old already. It's a mockumentary spoof on a major national dog show, loosely veiled as Westminster, and it's hilarious.
It has an all star "Christopher Guest" cast: Parker Posey, Ed Begley, Jr, Eugene Levy (Co-writer), Jane Lynch (Who STEALS the movie in all her scenes), Catherine O'Hara, Michael Hitchcock, Jennifer Coolidge, Fred Willard, Michael McKean and John Michael Higgins.
It's a must see.

The Agony of the Outrun
The Men's Alpine World Championships in Garmisch Partenkirchen, Germany was quite an interesting show yesterday.
Erik Guay of Canada won the Championship, taking the gold, in a 1 min 58.41 second run, but that wasn't the interesting part.
The outrun is the part of the slope that is after the finish line. It's where you see the skiers slide to a stop with a huge flourish. Only in Garmish, which recently underwent a $4 million dollar upgrade they forgot to extend the outrun and racer after racer went crashing into the wall unable to turn and stop in time.
A few of the skiers needed medical help after successfully navigating the actual course itself. Imagine, going 60 mph down a championship slope only to crash AFTER the finish line. It was the reality for most skiers yesterday.
Here is the link to see Aksel Lund Svindal of Norway crashing after his finish.

On the women's side, Lindsey Vonn took the silver medal. She caused some controversy earlier in the week by insisting on competing while recuperating from a concussion sustained last week in a horrific downhill accident.
In our opinion she should not have been allowed to compete. It was greedy, selfish and she was allowed to compete because of the money involved and her big name in the sport. A skier is at risk as it is and to risk further head injury was ludicrous and big time bad judgement. Obviously it is not the first time a skier, or any other athlete for that matter, has competed while injured, but this just set a bad precedent because everyone saw her fall last week and knew she had a concussion. To allow her to compete was pure unadulterated greed and just shows people and kids that all that matters in life is money and glory.
As Errol Flynn once said in the great movie, "They Died With Their Boots On," "The difference between gold and glory is that when you die, you can take the glory with you."
What if Lindsey had fallen again and at this moment was brain dead and had to be taken off life support? Would that silver medal be worth it to her family? We guess so since they let her compete with a concussion, as well as the the ski authorities that okayed it. We're pretty disgusted with that at this point.
Congrats to Erik Guay. O Canada!

ALLAHU AKBAR! The Celebration of the Century!
DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES?! YES!!
Allahu Akbar means God is Great. And for the Egyptian people God has been great. We've never seen so many people so jubilant. It's like the entire country is celebrating a Superbowl win, a Stanley Cup and a Powerball win all the same time. They are partying their asses off!
It's quite frankly the greatest, most moving thing we have been proud to witness in our lifetime. It's mind blowing.
The excitement is a force of joy so great that it is carried across the globe to Americans homes where like minded people are also celebrating as if they had just won some sort of freedom.
Shame on Glenn Beck, Newt Gingrich and Dick Cheney and others like them who would take the joy out of this by fear mongering their Islamic bullshit blah blah blah. Fuck you.
Every American should be happy for the Egyptian people. This country was built on revolution and the quest for freedom and justice for all, so when we see it happening LIVE, right in front of eyes, we have to celebrate and praise God.
Somewhere Ghandi is smiling...indeed he is laughing and clapping his hands...
A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history.
Mohandas Gandhi
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.
Mohandas Gandhi
If patience is worth anything, it must endure to the end of time. And a living faith will last in the midst of the blackest storm.
Mohandas Gandhi
In a gentle way, you can shake the world.

Egypt: The Return of The Jedi Ending
Remember at the end of the Return of the Jedi when the entire universe celebrated the blowing up of the Death Star and rejoiced that the evil Emperor was dead?
Well, something like that is happening RIGHT NOW across the Middle East. With the victory of the people over the dictator impromptu celebrations are spreading like wildfire.
Palestinians in Gaza let off fireworks, Tunisians drove through streets blaring car horns and Lebanese fired guns in the air. Moments after Egypt's Vice President Omar Suleiman made the announcement of Mubarak's resignation, fireworks lit up the sky over Beirut. Celebratory gunfire rang out in the Shiite-dominated areas in south Lebanon and in southern Beirut.
"God delivered our Egyptian brothers from this dictator," said Yacoub Youssef, one of those celebrating in the capital of Tunis.
In the Gaza Strip, ruled by the Islamic militant Hamas, thousands rushed into the streets in jubilation. Gunmen fired in the air and women handed out candy. "God bless Egypt, it's a day of joy and God willing all corrupt leaders in the world will fall," said Radwa Abu Ali, 55, one of the women distributing sweets.
On Al-Manar TV, the station run by the Shiite Muslim Hezbollah faction, Egyptian anchor Amr Nassef, who was once imprisoned in Egypt for alleged ties to Islamists, cried emotionally on the air and said: "Allahu Akbar (God is great), the Pharaoh is dead. Am I dreaming? I'm afraid to be dreaming."
The Omni Report is overjoyed for the people of Egypt today. We only hope that this leads to a new better era and doesn't disintergrate into another mess.
We also hope that the people of the great country of Iran, who once led the Middle East in science, mathematics, medicine and all areas of higher learning, including women's rights before throwing out one regime and being taken over by Islamic extrememists FEBRUARY 11, 1979, will also rise up. (Yes, the revolt in Iran ended to the day as this Egyptian one.) Too often only the students of Iran make revolt, allowed to run amuk for a couple of days, before the regime there publicly hangs them from cranes. Last time, a couple of years ago, dozens of bodies hung from the cranes for days to instill fear into the people. ALL of Iran needs to stand up and tell Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to get the hell out. If Egypt can do it so can they. The same goes for everyone in North Korea, China and the god forsaken flea bag country Afghanistan.
Cheers to the FREE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD!
UPDATE: Not only is this the day of the Iranian Revolution also, but is the same day that Nelson Mandela was released from prison, 21 years ago today!

Egypt Update: He's Outta Here!
Hosni Mubarak realizing that yesterday's statements basically put an even bigger target on his back stepped down from power today.
Margaret Mead once said "A small group of thoughtful people could change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has," and you know what, Margaret? Sometimes 85 million people can change things too.
Hopefully, the people of Egypt will use this time to elect someone they like and someone with democratic term limits so they can do what we do here...elect them in and throw them out on a consistent basis. We're not sure that's how things can really get done or change anything anyway but it sure beats the alternative.

Egypt Update: Mubarak Signs His Own Death Warrant
"You can kill the revolutionary but you can't kill the revolution"
Fred Hampton
Fred Hampton
Hosni Mubarak just gave his third speech during the revolution and once again did not step down from power. He has basically inflamed the situation even more and now, we feel, that the people are through asking him to leave and will now be happy to drag his bloody corpse through the streets of Cairo.
This will not turn out well for Mubarak. All he had to do was abdicate power, go on vacation for a couple of weeks and then retire to a palace on the Red Sea. Now, the people will want him dead. He just doesn't get it or rather he does, but refuses to accept it.
He just wants everyone to shut up and get back to work. But the will of the people is strong. Much stronger than anyone could've imagined and having Mubarak speak to them like they are children is just making things so much worse.
This guy has just signed his own death warrant. We expect to see his palace burned down shortly, the state TV dismantled brick by brick and his corpse dragged through the streets. The people haven't just spoken, they are speaking and speaking and speaking. THE PEOPLE ARE NOT THROUGH SPEAKING.
Mubarak can continue to blame this revolution on foreign influences and try to deflect the people's anger to other countries, but this is all his fault.

Egypt Update: This Just In...
From Roy Rivenburg (who ever the hell he is):
King Tut Returns From World
Tour to Lead Egypt Out of Crisis
King Tut Returns From World
Tour to Lead Egypt Out of Crisis
Egypt's former boy king, Tutankhamen, returned to Cairo today to seize power from President Mubarak.
"If Jerry Brown can resume being governor of California after a 30-year absence, I can reclaim my throne after 3,350 years," the pharaoh said.
In a hieroglyphic text message sent to protest leaders, Tut promised to rescue Egypt's finances by selling off his treasures, which include a gilded bed, mummified internal organs and a condo made of stone-uh.
Tut canceled his long-running world tour after Mubarak's hold on power began to crumble.
Despite Tut's age, experts said he was "remarkably well-preserved" and qualified to lead Egypt out of the 20th century and into the 35th century B.C., which would align the nation with several other Arab regimes.

WikiLeaks Reveals Details of Mubarak's Severance Package
According to the documents made available by WikiLeaks, upon leaving office Mr. Mubarak will receive $40 billion but will not be allowed to serve as dictator of another country for six months.
Additionally, once he departs Egypt Mr. Mubarak will be transferred immediately to the Pyramid on the Vegas strip.

The National Anthem
Okay, we all know by now that drunken idiot Christina Aguilera screwed up the National Anthem on Superbowl Sunday in front of 111 Million people. But here are a few more facts about our National Anthem.
1) The lyrics are from the 1814 poem by Francis Scott Key called "Defence of Fort McHenry.
2) Key was inspired to write the poem after witnessing British Royal Navy ships, in Chesapeake Bay, bombard the hell out of Fort McHenry, in Baltimore, during the War of 1812.
3) The tune we sing today is, ironically, from a British drinking song from the 1700's!
4) In a version hand-written by Francis Scott Key in 1840, the third line reads "Whose bright stars and broad stripes, through the clouds of the fight."
5) The fourth stanza of "The Star Spangled Banner" includes the line "And this be our motto, In God is our Trust", which the United States chose as its national motto in 1956.
6) The "Star-Spangled Banner" was performed as early as 1897 at opening day ceremonies in Philadelphia, but popularized with baseball as the song of the 7th inning stretch at the 1918 World Series.
7) "In 1929 Robert Ripley published "Believe it or Not, America has no National Anthem". Prompted by this "embarrassment" The Star Spangled Banner" became our National Anthem by congressional resolution on March 3, 1931, which was signed by President Herbert Hoover.
8) You can visit the original flag flown over Fort McHenry. It is on display in the National Museum of American History, part of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.
9) The 1968 Jimi Hendrix instrumental version of The National Anthem is friggin' awesome.
10) Marvin Gaye sang a bluesy version at the NBA All-Star game in 1983, just a year before he was killed.
Oh say can you see by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
O! say does that star-spangled banner yet wave,
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner, O! long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country should leave us no more!
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
O! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

"Safe" is the Word From The Pharaoh...And More...
According to Dr. Hawass: "The Valley of the Kings is safe, the pyramids are safe, 24 museums are safe, the synagogues and the monasteries and the Muslim monuments are completely safe." Thanks, Zahi!
Dr. Hawass was also moved by an elderly woman's plight to see the Pyramids. The woman, from Mississippi, forced to leave Egypt due to the little revolution there, has gotten The Pharaoh's personal promise to fly her back all expenses paid for a personally guided tour of the Giza Plateau. Lucky Duck!
See the video here
Also, The Omni Report was the first to publicly state that Dr. Hawass should take over the government and is happy to report that call is FINALLY being taken up by others! There are calls for him to be elected as Prime Minister.
From The Huffington Post:
"He (Dr. Zahi Hawass)would ensure a proper and methodical, no-rush transition. He would ensure all are treated with the respect and care they are due.
Let him now save his country. He is the only one with the international stature and reputation to do it. He will be able to accomplish this in Mubarak's last six months. Elevate him. Give him both the reins and the responsibility. Now we will have archaeology coming to the rescue of Modern Egypt and not the other was round.
He who has done so much to save Egypt's antiquities, could now be the one best-placed to preserve Egypt's unique and at-risk cultural dynamic. Elevate him to the Premiership. He certainly will not fail. He has never done so before."
Fucking A! That's what we've said since Day 1!

Greenbay Packers Take Lombardi Trophy
It was a great 45th Superbowl as Greenbay battled it out with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Greenbay held a great first half advantage, faltered in the 3rd half and then took it out to win 31-25. Congrats to the Packers and their cheese-headed fans.
The big news is what a dumbass Christina Aguilera is. She messed up the lyrics to The National Anthem. She forgot some lyrics and sung the same line twice. Listen, we understand it's nerve racking to perform for 30 million people live, however, IT'S HER JOB, THE SONG IS 30 SECONDS LONG and SHE'S A DRUNK. Hello? It was the ONLY THING SHE HAD TO DO! Sing a 30 second song with lyrics we've all sung since first grade. What a fucking dope. She's apologizing and making up excuses today saying she "lost her way" through the song... It's called TOO MUCH TO DRINK.
The Black-Eyed Peas half time debacle. Everyone is upset that they totally sucked. Our only complaint was when they brought out Slash to play a Guns N Roses song to be sung by Fergie. It was a "what the fuck" moment and one of the most asinine thing we've ever witnessed. Then they dropped Usher in by a rope and had Will i. Am sing his song for him. We are still wondering what the hell happened. If the halftime show had JUST been the Peas singing their songs, it would've been so much better. Who wants to hear stupid Guns N Roses? Although we must say, Slash has looked exactly the same for the last 25 years.
Okay...on to the commercials. Our faves were 1) Doritos brings everything back to life, 2) The Bud Light musketeers product placement spoof, 3) The truck is Lassie and makes Dad rescue Timmy every 2 seconds and 4) The Kenny G themed prison break out for rich people.
Which ones did you like?

Rescue for Turkish Dolphins
A pair of dolphins was rescued from hell at an "attraction" in Turkey. Readers of The Sun newspaper in England notified a local rescue group, who did all they can to save the dolphins. They are now rehabbing in a much larger and clean pool and are due to be re-released into the wild this coming May.
The Sun newspaper of England is known for being trashy but we've noticed that they do a lot for animals. Remember the Russian donkey that was tied to a kite and made to parasail through the air and let let crash? Well The Sun readers rescued that guy too and he now lives on a farm in England.
Read the story about these Dolphins and maybe donate to the Born Free Organization that rescued them.

Update From The Pharaoh
"I am the only source of continuing truth concerning antiquities,.... If anything happens to the museum, I would bravely tell everyone all over the world because I am a man of honor, and I would never hide anything from you. It is from my heart that I tell people everywhere that I am the guardian of these monuments that belong to the whole world.
If anything happens I will announce it.
I want everyone to relax, and know that I am here and we are all watching with open eyes. I want people to know that after 9 days of protests, the monuments are safe. Why? Because the Egyptian people are protecting them."
Sigh of relief...We can relax now! The Pharaoh is on top of things and says to relax..., plus he's speaking from his heart, Thanks, Zahi!

Are we sure the antiquities are as protected as he is?

Other Life in the Universe
This is a picture of 10,000 Galaxies
"There are those who believe that life here began out there, far across the universe, with tribes of humans who may have been the forefathers of the Egyptians, or the Toltecs, or the Mayans. That they may have been the architects of the great pyramids, or the lost civilizations of Lemuria or Atlantis. Some believe that there may yet be brothers of man who even now fight to survive somewhere beyond the heavens."
Battlestar Galactica intro
We have to address this article that mentions Professor Morris's stance on "Why we are alone in the Universe"...
"'Esteemed' Cambridge University evolution expert Professor Simon Conway Morris said the chances of intelligent alien life were low. If evolution were the same throughout the universe it would be unthinkable that advanced space travellers in older parts of the universe should not have reached the Earth by now, he said. Prof Conway Morris added: ‘That did not happen, and it will not happen. We never had any visitors, nor is it worth setting up a reception committee in the hope that one day they might turn up. They are not there, and we are alone."
This guy is out of his mind!
First of all, why would evolution be the same throughout the Universe? Does this guy think the Universe is just the Milky Way?
His theory that "they" should have reached here by now, if that had happened is flawed at best, ludicrous at worst.
Secondly, EVERY...Let's make this very clear...EVERY SINGLE CIVILIZATION on Earth says we came from "out there." That life was seeded here from out there. And further, EVERY RELIGION ON EARTH...EVERY ONE...claims that their God/Gods came from "Heaven", "Space"...NOT FROM EARTH. Even the most populous religions on Earth, i.e. Judeo-Christian, Islam, Muslim adhere to this to this day.
Thirdly, it is a fact that the Earth was visited in ancient times by aliens. The ancient peoples themselves tell us so through surviving writings. The archaeological evidence is pretty in your face about it, too. You have to really want to not see it to believe that we weren't visited. We'll do another article on this with all the evidence.
Fourth, how arrogant can you be to believe that we are alone in the Universe? Didn't that type of thinking die out centuries ago?
Fifth, the numbers are on the side of life being everywhere.
Let's take a look at the Drake Equation:
N = R* fp ne fl fi fc L
where,
N = The number of communicative civilizations
R* = The rate of formation of suitable stars (like the Sun)
fp = The fraction of those stars with planets.
ne = The number of Earth-like worlds per planetary system
fl = The fraction of those Earth-like planets where life actually develops
fi = The fraction of life sites where intelligence develops
fc = The fraction of communicative planets
L = The "lifetime" of communicating civilizations
The current solution to the Drake Equation estimates 10,000 communicative civilizations in the Milky Way, alone.
So it is in our opinion that Professor Simon Conway Morris is what we call a Xenophobe. Which is "the fear of people who are different from one's self." This means this guy cannot visualize, out of fear, that life may have evolved elsewhere that looks, behaves or sounds anything like a human being, hence..."we are alone."
Just this week NASA announced the discovery of over 54 planets that can sustain life.

MUST SEE VIDEO Note: Ignore the kid about 1:30 in...he's only on for about 20 seconds.. The rest of the video is astonishing and mind blowing.
Holy UFO!
A giant glowing orb was spotted by thousands of people hovering over Jerusalem's Dome of the Rock the other night. One of the holiest spots on Earth, the video of the UFO has sparked MUCH interest around the world.
The way the orb descends straight from the sky directly over the dome is pretty amazing. Then it shoots upward at an incredibly high rate of speed.
Experts are at a loss to explain it. It was shot by so many different cameras that night, it's hard to believe it would be a hoax. How could anyone control an orb of that size?
Conspiracy theorists are speculating it's a missile defense system test.
Here's the video compilation, shot from various angles:

Another 10 Reasons Why Afghanistan is So Screwed Up
Oh Afghanistan, you are so fucked up, let thee count the ways;
1) Bozkashi. Your main sport, Bozkashi is mega animal abuse times ten. This is a game where men on horseback carry around a headless goat and fight over it. Kind of like polo, except the ball is an abused dead animal, the horses are abused live animals and the men are disgusting uneducated animals.
2) Opium. Your entire country feeds opium to children to "shut them up." Entire families are opium addicts. Apparently your "prophet" had nothing to say about opium addiction. Read this to fully understand the abuse that children and even newborn babies go through in this piece of shit country: NEWS ARTICLE
3) Stonings. Your "prophet" commands you to bury women up to their breasts and have stones thrown at their face and head until they die. Another reason why your country is a god-cursed pile of shit.
4) Honor killings. Thousands of women a year are slaughtered in horrific ways by their fathers, brothers and uncles, to protect the mens honor. Just taking off your Burka, a living burial shroud, is justification to be killed. Because a man that kills a woman is of course worthy of all the honor the "prophet" has to give. There is no irony in Afghanistan.
5) Child brides. Hundreds of girls a year, under the age of 13, are kidnapped and forced in marriage, sexual slavery and then discarded and killed for being whores. This country is a winner any way you look at it!
6) The Taliban. Here is a truly heinous religious organization. They hate women so much that they can barely tolerate having sex with them and prefer to fuck goats. They treat everyone like scum because their "prophet" told them to. They are intolerant of education. They don't smoke, drink or have real sports. Why do you think they are so uptight? They have no outlet whatsoever for anything except to create chaos and war over nothing. They are beyond uneducated. They see no beauty in anything. They are the worst kind of scum humanity has ever had to endure. Even the barbarian vikings appreciated beauty in some shape or form. The Taliban should be blown back to the slime pit from where they formed and crawled out of.
7, 8, 9 and 10) Abuse of Women, Children, Animals and themselves. Afghanistan as a whole is an appalling, despicable, loathsome, disgrace of a country.
The suicide rate among Afghani women is at an all time high. They are simply too frightened of the men to rise up and kill them at night all at once, so slowly they are just killing themselves off in droves. It is extremely heartbreaking. We were going to embed some pictures into this article but the images are too much to handle. We suggest you Google "Afghanistan women." You'll be shocked out of your seat, unless you are Dr. Mengele himself.
We used to tolerate anything other than intolerance and animal abuse. But honestly, Afghanistan is the sickest country in the world and makes China look normal. The United States should withdrawal immediately from this heinous 10 year "war" we've been in with these people and leave them to wallow in their own filth. Or just nuke the place and let God sort them out. They will never, ever be able to co-mingle with a civilized world, so fuck it.
Ok, our first instinct is to say that. But you know, the women, children and animals of Afghanistan need to be RESCUED and helped. RIGHT NOW. What is happening there every day is reprehensible. Isn't this why the United State is at war with Afghanistan? To bring them democracy? No. We are only there to stop the Taliban from training Al Queda.
Jeez oh man, what a fuck fest!
