I took a nap this afternoon so I'm good for the next few hours (2AM here) and then I think the adrenalin will keep me up. Mubarak better pack his bags and not hurt those protesters. If he does, all bets are off for the Middle East and North Africa. There will be angry, violent protests everywhere and most of those dictatorships will fall.

Jordan is shaking in its boots right now trying to push through "speedy reforms" ahead of today's demonstrations.

He said that all cases of alleged corruption and favoritism should be addressed in a satisfactory manner.

"All files should be opened to the public, doubts should be cleared and mistakes corrected,” the monarch said.

These reforms might not be "speedy" enough, kind of like a Tsar throwing banana peels to starving Russian peasants.
