So here is the deal, I will start a sock saturday and sunday thread. Post a photo of your foot in a floppy sock to show support for Egypt! I will start the thread today and people can add it to it whenever they want. It is up to you whether you show your face or not in the photos, I dont mind, but the idea is to focus on the sock! Use your phone cameras or digi cameras or any way of getting an image you choose

Anybody apart from the lovely lady who PM'd me up for it?

It seems a very LSN way of making a statement of support

I am sooo in!!

any other takers?

FauxNews? No thank you. If you are going to watch MSM, watch CNN. FauxNews is a full-on propaganda machine.

There is no distinction between the two.

OK will it be mubarak or Suleiman that is speaking as the leader? Both would do well to stfu......they only make matters worse. For heavens sake don't they have like a person for riot control and calming a situation. Oops forgot Suli man just uses electrocution and finger nail pulling

Hey Gang, don't forget there is a whole list at the bottom of the main page to choose from. If there is one that I have missed please let me know and I will add it. I also have been adding some other types of links and putting them in their own categories.

By all means put up single links here if something important is happening on it!

No not presidency they use the word leadership....so who ever going to speak is the de facto ruler/rulers of egypt...we will get conformation who leads the country

Like babsi said last nite, nobody wants to stand up and be killed.

Belive me alot of people are ready to die for this revolution

Hi everybody - wow still haven't caught up completely.

Quick comment to throw in here - I referred to the potential "leaders" or future "presidential candidates" that are being protected and staying below the radar because they would get killed.

The regular people protesting are ready to die for this Revolution.

The 2 heli's landing suggest that Mubarak is indeed still there and probably is just now escaping, him and/or Sillyman that is. I have 2 friends (father and son) who are on their way to the Palace. They have not reached it yet, the army is blocking off the street.

We are also wondering now what the announcement will be, and confused about the wording as it said it's coming from the presidential palace, not the President or whatever word was used.

We shall see. At this point, nobody knows what's going on behind the scene. But from an earlier statement I think over Twitter from Baradei that the Regime is in chaos now, and the rats are jumping the sinking ship.

The next announcement will be crucial and will decide the course of events happening today!

Pray or send good vibes or whatever you do - lets hope this can have a peaceful end!

Are you kidding me?? FoxNews constantly pushes their agenda, there is absolutely no comparison to CNN. I mean I prefer AJE since it is available. But FoxNews spews garbage and lies 24/7. It is the equivalent of american state TV.

Those on GLP who spewed comments continuously about "Muzzies" and letting them kill themselves are exactly the type who watch FoxNews. Sure, CNN is not perfect, but at least it stays neutral, and views all angles. Trust me, from someone who is able to view your news in another country, there is a very big difference between the two, and it has nothing to do with your political lines as some americans would believe.

Sounds like fun, and yet another opportunity for me to be very foolish. Ann is home a bit sick today so this will give her a chance to use her new camera. I will try to contribute.
