State Department to Americans in Egypt - Get out now.

"Despite what appears to be greater calm on the streets in Egypt over the weekend, the State Department sent out a new Travel Warning on Sunday, Feb. 6, that instructs all American citizens to leave Egypt now................."

There are thousands of Americans in Egypt, students, tourists, business folks, expats but the largest number was Egyptians with American passports. I think I saw a number somewhere a month or so ago that including everybody the number was up around 90,000 any given day.

Oh geez...it's the same stuff we've been putting out for a week. These news outlets kill me. There is no "get out now". It's just a "hey idiot, in case you haven't been paying attention, you might want to head out". In fact we can't tell people to "get out now", except for government (official) personnel, and they left a week ago. It's an American citizen's God-given right to be a complete d-bag, stick around, and then wonder why that shiny American citizen badge we all wear didn't help them out (see: Anderson Cooper) :D.

Anybody who's imbecilic enough to require a warning at this point can stay; I'm sure there are plenty of breadstick helmets to go around.

I wish the guys who are on-call for the forthcoming NEO mission well. Stay safe!

Both men were inspired by "Burning Bush",

"My people I bring you these 15, Oye! , ten, ten policy reversals..."

Ahahaha...I loved those pics. Nothing like some falafel and saran wrap to say, "Bring it, bitches!"
