Two days before most Americans celebrated our independence from Great Britain's royal family, a member of Egypt's royal family passed away--Princess Fawzia.
I didn't even know any of King Farouk's relatives were still around.
All of the pictures I found of the late princess show her decked-out like any Euro-princess, not in any of the "modern" Muslim garb.
Mark Steyn chronicles Egypt's nine-decade slide down the abyss--and abysmal women's fashion--in his article, The Princess and the Brotherhood.
Meanwhile, as Morsi was escorted to his cell by the Egyptian Army, and Princess Fawzia was laid to rest, what was America's leading statesman doing last week?
The State Department admitted that our Secretary of State was "briefly" on his yacht. And this was after vehemently denying he was on-board at all.
For us non-nuanced types, this is known as a lie.
This isn't the first time "Isabel" made news. Remember this?
And while Kerry navigates through the dire straights of American politics, dozens have been killed in Egypt and an interim leader has been nominated.
No matter who's "in charge," Egypt will remain a basket case for some time.
We're in for some rough weather ahead.
