Egyptian Troops, Activists Clash in Tahrir Square

Egyptian troops clashed Monday with a small group of protesters camping out in Cairo's Tahrir Square to press demands for faster change and justice for demonstrators killed in the uprising that toppled Hosni Mubarak.

The clashes broke out after troops dismantled the protesters' tents on the square's median, witnesses said. There were no immediate reports of casualties or arrests. Troops backed by armored vehicles and hundreds of riot police used clubs to clear the square after protesters ignored pleas over loudspeakers to leave. Military police fired shots in the air and protesters hurled rocks.

The operation brought an end to nearly a month of renewed daily protests in the central square that was the birthplace of the 18-day uprising that overthrew Mubarak in February.

Fox News (Surprisingly I couldn't find an article at BBC or MSNBC)

The Egyptian army has deployed tanks and troops to disperse the remaining pro-democracy protesters in Cairo’s Tahrir Square. According to witnesses, security personnel stormed the area from several directions, smashing tents and stalls before taking some protesters into military detention. The demonstrators had been occupying the square for three weeks in protest of the slow pace of reform.

Alex Jones on Rick Perry

I thought this video was pretty spot on. It's alex jones on rick perry.

Don't worry - no crazy conspiracies. Ron Paul biased however Jones says that he is much worse than obama and other presidents. He's the corporate puppet republican choice essentially as many of you probably know.

I'd definately vote Obama if it came down to Perry vs Obama and Paul drops off like in '08... I am also from Texas too and Alex Jones speaks truth Perry's record is easily worse than Obama and he is less powerful. I can't imagine how awful he'd be with MORE power. There's a good chance Perry could win if he isn't shot down in the primaries 8o:o

Yeah I live in Oklahoma this story has been covered to and fro. I wouldn't have gone to the length she did and call 911. I don't care if you steal shit, but do it when I am away, if you force your way into my living space you're a presumed threat, and I will shoot you in your nose.
 
John Stossel's Illegal Everything

This was (pleasantly) surprising to see a 40+ minute segment on FOX News that essentially attempted to convince others to legalize drugs. There are also some good points about how inefficient government regulations CAN be with respect to how local, state, and federal regulations do not all agree, and either one can supersede the other, especially when they negatively impact the middle class.
