Tunisia, and then Egypt, and then Yemen. The Arab street is finally rising up to throw off their oppressive regimes. It's interesting and unsettling and impressive.
It's also NOT cut and dried. It's not clear what anybody's really after. And it's not at all clear that we'll see anything remotely resembling democracy pop up in any of those countries.
But how long will it take DumFux News to decide about praising Jr Bush and their own cheerleading for the Iraq invasion for starting this glorious march to freedom? It might be a tough call for them. They've been hedging on Bush since they started pandering to the Tea Partiers, so they'll have to figure out how to put some nuance into their pronouncements, which suddenly makes it all a lot messier than their audience likes it to be.
