Riots are spreading

Such trouble in Tunis! Well it's about time too.  I always thought Tunis was one of the more democratic and liberal Arab countries and was quite surprised to find out that quite the opposite was true.  Show's how much us pigeons know about that part of the world.  As I said, it's about time and hopefully there will be other changes in the region.  But there is a hilarious side to this whole thing.  President Ghaddafi today congratulated the people of  Tunis and told them they should install a democracy like the Libyan one!!!  I almost fell off my perch with laughter.  And then I couldn't stop laughing when President Mubarak of Egypt congratulated the people of Tunisia and told them he supported them!!!!  Oh me, oh my, that is hilarious especially since he has been president since 1981 and he was Vice president for a few years before that.  Oh, this is so hysterically funny,  "two paragons of democracy" congratulating a people for getting rid of the corrupt, greedy, undemocratic, nepotistic presidents.  Anyway, I wonder what's next? Algeria?
