Gotta hand it to these folks in Egypt, they will NOT be denied what they feel they are owed. CAIRO – Opposition groups accused the Egyptian government Wednesday of trying to draw out the process of amending the constitution after Vice President Omar Suleiman said the only way forward was through “dialogue” or a “coup.” The public show of dissent that has roiled Egypt for more than two weeks spread for the first time to the labor sector, with trade unions, railway technicians, oil workers, public transportation empoloyees and some members of state-controlled media striking or joining the protests, according to local news broadcasts. Despite government efforts to placate them, demonstrators were adamant that President Hosni Mubarak act quickly to end his 30-year autocratic rule. They said they were angered by Suleiman’s remarks on Tuesday that the demonstrations must end soon, and by the vice president’s claim that Egypt is not ready for democratic rule. “We believe all [President Hosni Mubarak] needs is seven days maximum” to amend the constitution by setting term limits and relaxing eligibility requirements to run for president, said Mounir Fakhry Abdel Nour, the secretary general of the Wafd Party, a liberal opposition party involved in negotiations with the government. “We are faced with two choices,” Nour said. “Either to move forward with reform through constitutional legitimate channels, or we’re opening the door to complete chaos or a military coup.” For the 16th day, thousands of protesters gathered in central Cairo’s Tahrir Square to demand Mubarak’s immediate ouster. Protesters also gathered outside the parliament and the cabinet building for the second consecutive day. Al-Jazeera reported that the cabinet building was evacuated because of the protests. A government spokesman said that he could not confirm that account but believes the cabinet may be moving their offices because of the demonstrations. Dear Mr. Mubarak, It’s a wrap, just give them their “free” and get it over with already. Clearly, they’re not about to stand down. Kind Regards, Bossip Nation. Source

Now they've really gone and done it as far as Ed Schultz is concerned. Speaking with Schultz on his radio show Thursday, Schultz's producer James Holm described plans by members of the Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kan., notorious for their protests outside funerals of American soldiers killed in Afghanistan and Iraq, to stage a similar protest during the funeral of Elizabeth Edwards. The discussion between Schultz and Holm was preceded by Schultz gushing about Rev. Al Sharpton meeting with FCC officials in a thinly veiled attempt to censor Limbaugh for racial insensitivity. First, Schultz played a clip of Sharpton's remarks, not citing where they were stated, while Schultz brays his approval

Image Credit: Climbers Against Coal via Facebook On Friday at 7:30am, a team of seven Washington women and men reached the summit of Mount Rainier, which, at 14,411 feet, is the highest mountain ( and active volcano ) in the state. Of the seven, only two had done anything like this. So why take on the the biggest challenge the Cascade Mountain Range?

One officer was fired and another quit after a rural Georgia woman who called police to complain of a prowler was zapped repeatedly with a stun gun. Ryan Smith of the Lumpkin Police Department has resigned and Tim Murphy, of Richland Police Department, was fired for using pepper spray on the woman, Janice Wells. Wells, 57, says she feared a prowler was outside her Richland house. A minute-long dashboard video from Smith's patrol car shows the officer pulling up to assist another officer. What happens is largely hidden by an open police cruiser door, but Wells can be heard screaming “Don't do that! Don't do that!” as a stun gun is heard repeatedly zapping. Authorities say the April 26 struggle began when Wells wouldn't tell police the name of an acquaintance who had been at her house. Lumpkin Police Chief Steven Ogle says the video is shocking. http://rawstory.com/rs/2010/0713/2-ga-officers-stun-gun-video-surfaces/ added by: treewolf39
