The Egyptian freedom protesters are still going strong,
But Mubarak say a he's staying until the fall and his VP is really no better than him. Unfortunately, they have the money to wait out the protesters. I know the protesters have said they don't want other governments interfering and I wholeheartedly agree. That said, the protesters are going to need food and money. I don't know any Egyptians but it seems to me that if any of you have Egyptian friends who are protesting in Cairo or Alexandria, we could do a fundraiser and send the money through Western Union directly to them to distribute as needed.

I'm writing this at work and it isn't fully fleshed out. Any other ideas out there to bat around?

1. He's staying until the fall - but not in the way he thinks.
