News: Riots in Egypt Spread; The Government Shuts off the Internet & Text Messaging
Seriously, it’s SUPER loony-tunes right now in Egypt. Here’s an additional twisted thought though: if more countries, after Tunisia, Lebanon, Yemen and Egypt, continue to collapse like this, some may posit that George W. Bush’s ‘domino theory’ for spreading democracy in the Middle East has been vindicated and ultimately proven right although I’m not sure this fits my personal definition of peace and democracy!

Associated Press Fact-Checks President Obama’s State of the Union Address
You’re fact-checking Obama??! How about those loony GOP and Tea Party responses from Paul Ryan and Michelle Bachmann??! Scary thing is that, as I said on twitter, as crazy as Bachmann is and wild questionable with her interpretation of events & the stats (the US has ‘the world’s finest health care’?? Really??), her SOTU response might resonate with more people than Obama’s actual SOTU. Although, as The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart pointed out, what was up with her weird eye contact??
