Everybody is a Communist Today

It's May Day. A day to celebrate the glorious proletarian regimes of old and the workers they sought to unite.

I bet the party was rockin' in North Korea and Laos. Too bad Castro didn't show up because he no doubt missed one helluva good time. And then there's Russia. I wonder if there was another military display down Prospeckt Mira like they used to do in the good old days.

Here in Egypt, we were greeted to the following headline on Page 5 of Al Ahram (The Pyramids) newspaper:

PRIVITIZATION BLOWS

No parades or anything like that, though. Just a headline to remind you that Egypt still has its socialist roots firmly entrenched...just in case the Soviets need a friend when they rise again.
