The internet is amazing, can you believe that when you go to that second link, your only two clicks away from this site..how many degrees of separation is that? Amazing if you ask me! And to tell you the truth it's bigger news than the fact that there is already cheating going on in the Egyptian election. I cant wait to see the vote count, will the ruling party get 99% or will they allow a 98% total. Can't wait to see the results.
