CNN: "Mubarak Steps Down"

It's got a be a strange feeling: stepping down from power after being big guy in charge for forty years and millions of people taking to the streets to dance and cheer.

Not exactly a Frank Sinatra "My Way" fadeout into offstage shadows as the audience rises as one into a standing O.

Perhaps Belusconi could invite the former Egyptian ruler to his next "bunga bunga" party to buck up the old boy's bruised ego and help take his mind off things.

Our friend Brenda is currently in Rome, lucky her. I wonder if she may wander by chance into a bunga bunga party--I would love to know, among other things, what they serve for o'doeuvres and how they arrange the cushions and candles. It's all about being a good host.
