Great weekend of sledding at Prince Gallitzin State Park, but we need to take it to the next level. See article and video on tobaggan run in N. Central PA.
A toboggan, ice, snow and whoa
I'm not making any connection between tobagganning and Egypt, and simply want to say the obvious -- this is incredible. We may be witnessing the most historic world events since the collapse of the wall. Interesting to note that to date no one has claimed (though I haven't read anything from Bush) that regime change in Iraq has had anything to do with pro-democracy protests in Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen and N. Sudan. Funny how that end of a rifle nation building stuff works.
This is one of the more fascinating eye witness accounts.

With the way the protests have gone, it is a remarkable affirmation on the general intelligence and goodness of people. Perhaps democracy can work after all.
Problems come about when people (or countries) have agendas that place democracy further down the priority list. The U.S. is not getting very good marks…again.
The url's have an extraneous "http//".
It's just not always about us: Tunisia Shows Democracy Can Spread Without America
And this comment from, of all people, former Iraq invasion supporter Peter Beinart. Is the liberal hawk facing extinction?
Corrected the links. Talked with an NYU student that was studying at the American University of Cairo. She was airlifted out of the Country 3 days ago to Istanbul by the US Military and then flew to Paris where we met her on our last night. She had some crazy stories, Egypt cutting internet and cell service, leaving her family in the dark. Waiting in line for food all day only to leave empty handed because curfew was approaching. The University rationed rice over the week and a half as her potions got continually small. Her bus to the airport was boarded by a few times by Egyptian military after a bus passenger took a picture of the soldiers.
