I don think this comes as a tremendous surprise but it is a sad confirmation of what one might suppose.  The Egyptian army rather brutally broke up a demo last night in Tahrir Square protesting the slow pace of post-Mubarak reform.  Indeed, the incident is the tip of an iceberg that chills the very thought [...]

You sort of need a program to know who all the revolutionary players are every day.  Just as Gaddafi hangs by a thread, we have an outbreak of protest in Iraq — you know, that hotbed of democracy.  Click the graphic or click here for an interactive guide detailing the Middle Eastern revolt country by [...]

Here I am apologizing again. Every time I promise to start blogging again, some Arab nation or another blows apart and sucks me back into work. I’ve been putting in about a 1000 hours a week over at our USC-based Neon Tommy web site and I invite you to take a peek as we have [...]
