March 20 post

Recently Egyptian voters approved changes in the constitution that make way for parliamentary and presidentials elections. This will bring in Egypts first democratically elected government to replace the regime of former leader Hosni Mubarak.

I think this is great for Egypt. I believe this will ease the protests and please the people. However, I am concerned about the radicals and former supporters of Hosni Mubarak. I think they will cause unesseccary violence in Egypt. However this is the first step toward a democracy and I am happy for Egypt.

Recently the eighth season of Two and a Half Men was brought to an early end when Charlie Sheen, the main character in the tv series, publically insulted the director of the show, Chuck Lorre. In an effort to punish Charlie for his actions, they shut down production. Now Sheen is suing Warner Bros studio for $100 million dollars for breaking the contract and "cheating him" out of his pay for the next 8 episodes planned in the series.

I think Charlie Sheen deserves the money he was cheated out of. His contract had him completing a certain number of episodes per season and he was promised 1.3 million an episode. I think it was very immature for the director to shut down production because of a few insults. He's depriving America of one of the most popular tv shows and his cast of millions of dollars because of his ego.
