Looks like Mubarak's on his way out

Hosni Mubarak, along with the underarm bowling incident, the Springbok tour, and awful TV programs like Dynasty, was what made 1981 one of the worst years in the history of our planet, and finally, after 30 long years, he has finally decided not to seek a sixth term as President of Egypt. The only reason he even got a first term is because of Egypt's unique method of choosing the candidates: each candidate is pre-approved by at least two-thirds of the People's Assembly, and for Mubarak's first four terms, he was the only one that passed this first stage. So in 1981, 1987, 1993, and 1999, the vote was just for whether or not the people wanted him in Abdeen Palace (Egypt's version of the White House).
