the HQ of the Egyptian secret police was overthrown in Cairo today, but prosecuters came and carted documents away under Army supervision. so the world may or may not get another Wikileaks out of it.

What could make it a big f'n deal is that the people might march anyway. If it turns into another Egypt/Libya scenario, the price of oil could go to the moon.

* Note to self: sell some equities tomorrow.

If you sell your equities, the terrorists win.

PS: And If I don't get a new Avalon for Christmas, the terrorists win too.

Let me guess, Iran condemns the Saudi's for banning protesters just like they celebrate protesters in Egypt and abraod while killing their own.

Will the last country standing, (cough, Iran), kindly take over the entire Middle East? 😛

Awesome! I always felt 11 months make a much better calendar year than tired old 12.
