Electing a pharaoh

We can't really say that Egypt is boring, if there's nothing on TV and no good movies in the theaters, you can always follow its political scene. This scene can be both highly dramatic and extremely comic.
Today, Egyptians are going out to vote in their presidential elections. Well, i have yet to decide what this highly entertaining play is. Is it a pleasant comedy? Is it a tragedy? Either way, it is a farce.
One really has to wonder about the reason for holding the elections. Is there any possibility that Mubarak will lose?
I think that only real debate going on now is within the ruling circles. They are trying to decide what percentage of the Egyptian people have voted for each candidate. Issues like free will, transparency and all that stuff really do not figure much here.
Does a pharaoh even need us? How can we compare to the majesty of his divine being?
Anyway, i thought that Islam had ended this blurring of the line between what is human and what is divine.
I guess some things never change.
The stories coming out of polling stations in Cairo are appalling, but i won't get into tha, let us wait and see what the percentage that they decided is before we make our final judgment.
