Morsi Seizes Power: Just after the international community hailed President Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood as a most powerful broker in ending Israeli-Hamas hostilities, he has suddenly issued a declaration banning any challenge to his decisions. Opposition leader Muhammad al-Baradei has accused him of acting like a "new pharaoh." Morsi made the presidential declaration at 6 pm today (Thursday, November 22), in a constitutional declaration in which he also appointed a new prosecutor general, gave two more months for the Constituent Assembly to complete its work and forbade judicial bodies from dissolving it or the Shura. I was going to have stuffed pigeon (hamam mahshi) at a nearby restaurant to celebrate Thanksgiving but am feeling under-the-weather, so didn't go. Now I'm glad I refrained, I would be having trouble digesting it.
