JERUSALEM — The first of a five-part British documentary on the state of men and manliness in modern, Western society:

JERUSALEM — This is a current, Israeli commercial — in English — for the cable-provider Yes featuring a Barack-Obama look-a-like and the president’s campaign slogan, “Yes, we can!” The song is sung to the tune of this Israeli classic-rock song.

Sad News from Egypt

Disturbingly, to me at least, CNN’s coverage is positively awful. Not only is it a stub, but it inaccurately calls Egyptian Christians “Coptics” (they’re “Copts”). Way to go, CNN.
