Hey everyone!  Here's the link to the Bassem Youssef bio I tried to show in class: http://www.cbsnews.com/news/meet-the-jon-stewart-of-egypt-bassem-youssef/

What an inspiring man!  Something that I missed in class: While he mostly operates in the comic frame, I find that when he breaks character and sends a direct response to his opponents he is actually using a tragic frame.  For the most part, tragic frames are negative to discourse, but I think his occasional use of the tragic frame is the only option to create change within Egypt.  Just my two cents! :)
