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!

I missed this when it happened but my man at work told me about it yesterday and then YN reminded me when I was just on his site checking some stuff out. Comedy! Don’t dude remind you of that Direct TV Russian Oligarch parody? “Opulence, I has it!”

Video: Did Fox News’ Neil Cavuto Try to Use the Tunisia Riots to ‘Pull a Palin’

Got the heads up on this one via The Colbert Report…

Could this conversation with Craig R. Smith, CEO of Swiss America trading Corp., not be considered some kind of incitement or should I just dismiss it as the ridiculous fear-mongering that it strikes me as?
