So….. Mubarak is asking the government to resign, but he’s not including himself because he “took an oath to protect Egypt.”
How magnanimous of him.
Yup, he’s also sacking the defense minister which may not work out the way he plans…

Okay, not only is Ahmed Sorour going to make an important announcement, stations are now reporting that a line of limos was seen at Cairo airport and three private jets have left the country under heavy security.
No clue.
Hyperventilating, though.
Al-Jizz said that the nations “elites” are fleeing.
Indeed, I’ve heard Ahmed Ezz fled and I’m sure other...

Creepy.
The Cairo HQ of the ruling NDP has been burning for hours. The flames appear to be moving in slow motion and are tinged blue and purple. What the hell kind of concentrated evil did they have in there?

I did not know that. I was at sea, so I missed the whole thing.
