#5 12:34am ElBaradei on Twitter: "Egypt will explode. Army must save the country now."

I think that means everything will be OK.

#6 Barry Rubin anecdote:

Early in this crisis, one of the most wise people on Egypt in the entire world told me the following joke:

Aide: "Do you want to say good-bye to the Egyptian people?"
Mubarak: "Why? Are they going somewhere?"

#7 12:34am ElBaradei on Twitter: "Egypt will explode. Army must save the country now."

This guy is on the verge of becoming a multi-decade guest of Mubarak. The accommodations will be cosy (New York-speak for small) and have shiny steel bars on the doors.

#8 Organization for a march on the Presidential Palace happening now. I love the fact that Obama's TV spot was canceled, and instead a Written Statement is going to be put out. I think Mubarak might have played Obama for the sap he is.

#9 Mubarak: "Why? Are they going somewhere?"

I believe Hosni just won Snark of the Day.
