Egypt TV says there will be an important announcement soon.

If Mubarak has lost the support of the military and fled the country, then I will say I was completely wrong and bear my humility well. :)

2. Funny, the guy who just came in to use my phone claims HE'S Mubarak.
Was I duped, or were you?

3. Oh man, you're not going to get rid of the guy for, like, 30 years
Kiss your couch goodbye

13. He tried to come to my place and I slapped him in the face with a glove.
Now he's squatting in a dumpster trying to call the DLC on a stolen cell phone.

5. You made good observations
No one really understood his status with the military, and that's usually key

8. More importantly
The speaker of the lower house of Parliament (I think that's who will be speaking shortly) will be the interim leader for 60 days (according to Al Jazeera).

14. Then again you may not be wrong
Mubarak is live on TV now - they are scared about the rumors that he left

18. Michael Moore said that Hillary and Bill should be expecting house guests from Egypt very soon...
I believe they (the Clintons) consider them friends of some kind.

19. I wouldn't count on that given what Mubarak is saying right now...
Doesn't seem like he's going anywhere in the near future.
