Help out a Needy Sandmonkey

An excellent Egyptian Blog, Rantings of a Sandmonkey is at a bit of a crossroads. For those who might not know, this excellent blogger discovered that an Egyptian newspaper ran copies of the infamous cartoons on October 17, 2005 during Ramadan. Nothing was said. No boycotts ensued. No embassies burned. No rock throwing, no firebombs, etc. etc. It was a telling discovery which has gone a long way in showing the hypocrisy of these protesters but also seems to indicate that the protests themselves are the result of contrivance and manipulation.

This should have been a prominent story in every newspaper. He suspects he lost a lot of pub due to the name of his blog. I tend to agree. MSM worries more about offending than they do factual accuracy. We have all seen it.

He queries his readers as to whether he should change his blog's name. I for one don't think he should. I embrace the whole pajamas concept. Let the MSM snicker at us but let them feel the bite of a Sandmonkey or a Little Green Football.
