SKIRMISHER

As Kareem Nabeel Sulaiman’s imprisonment sprouts an online cottage industry of fine Kareem-inspired apparel, coffee mugs, and nice buttons, it also brings home the juicy fact of Egypt is now officially the must-go destination for bloggers with an unshakable martyr complex and a finger that must scratch whatever itched, where putting into mere words whatever the Egyptian government and Islam are doing anyway actually gets you some place, and where your future grand kids could plant colorful push pins on a rugged Egyptian map and solemnly mutter, “That — is where grandpop had his blog’s finest hour and was totally rad.”

We’ve already identified many other nations eager to follow Egypt’s suit, but we’re holding the cards close to our chest so as not to kill [pardon the pun] the excitement. Suffice it to say that the world is truly a wonderful place full of presidents, kings, and religious leaders with corks on their asses.

Stumble it!
